How does Neurofeedback
work?
Neurofeedback uses sensors on the scalp to monitor brainwaves, displaying the data through animations. This visual feedback encourages the brain to self-regulate and improve functioning.
The LENS system uses low-energy radio waves to gently stimulate targeted brain areas, helping to "reset" dysfunctional patterns for quicker, more profound improvements in behavior and emotional regulation.
Neurofeedback systems like EEGer provide positive feedback for achieving target brainwave patterns. This reinforcement helps the brain sustain healthier patterns, improving conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD.
If you are in danger, call 911 now.
Emergency services are available to provide the support and protection you need. Your well-being is paramount, and taking this step can save your life.
We offer specialized neurofeedback therapies, including EEGer and LENS systems, to address conditions like anxiety, ADHD and PTSD.
Unlike LENS sessions, EEGR neurofeedback sessions require conscious effort and attention to stimuli by the client. Sessions last between 30-45 minutes each.
On the other hand, LENS does not require any focused attention, and the person does not need to do anything specific during the session. This makes LENS an excellent option for all individuals, including those who are unable to attend for lengthy periods of time and/or who are unable to understand instructions.
We follow the recommended fees set forth by the Psychologists' Association of Alberta.
LENS sessions are typically 30 minutes and are a flat fee of $150
EEGR sessions are typically 30 minutes and are a flat fee of $150
Billing may also occur in 10 minute increments for services done outside the therapy hour such as phone calls, writing letters, etc., letters and will be charged based on the hourly rate of the therapist for the service rendered. Sessions are billed based on the actual time, not the estimated time.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that utilizes brain electrical potentials to reinforce desired brain states through operant conditioning, a form of biofeedback. It commonly involves electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor and collect brain activity data. The goal of neurofeedback is to train individuals to regulate their brainwave patterns, potentially aiding in the management of various neurological conditions and enhancing cognitive performance.
Neurofeedback therapy teaches individuals to control their brain functions by providing real-time feedback on how their brains respond to triggers. Over time, this helps patients learn to recognize and manage their brain states, improving self-regulation and potentially benefiting conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and other neurological disorders.
While neurofeedback therapy can be beneficial, some individuals have reported potential side effects. These may include increased anxiety, agitation, depression, anger, and irritability following sessions. It’s important for practitioners and patients to monitor these effects closely and adjust treatment as needed to ensure a positive therapeutic experience.
Neurofeedback therapy has a reported success rate of approximately 75% to 80% for conditions like ADHD and anxiety, according to clinicians and scientific research.
Neurofeedback systems vary widely, from basic setups with 2-4 sensors to advanced configurations with up to 19 sensors. The complexity and capabilities of these systems can affect both the effectiveness of treatment and its cost. More sophisticated setups generally offer more detailed and tailored feedback to patients, contributing to higher costs.
Neurofeedback therapy can lead to long-lasting positive results for many individuals. The improvements achieved through neurofeedback treatment can endure over time, providing a safe and effective option without the potential side effects associated with prescription medications. This makes neurofeedback a valuable approach for managing conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and other neurological disorders.
