NeurOptimal® is a dynamic neurofeedback system that focuses on the central nervous system and the brain to improve neuro regulation and stabilization. although the technology is sophisticated, the process is simple, non-invasive, effective, and even calming. it is a way of learning. you learn to alter your brain activity the same way you learn every other skill – through feedback and practice. NeurOptimal® is a training and not a treatment; clients do not need a diagnosis before using the system. you do not need to prepare to be in a certain mindset before your session. each training session lasts 33 minutes; new clients will fill out a short intake. please wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.

resilience
with neurofeedback, your brain changes itself; this is known as “neuroplasticity” and is the way we learn anything. neurofeedback is involved in helping the nervous system regulate itself, and can be used with people of all ages with a wide range of concerns. training your brain using neurofeedback can help the brain to become more flexible and efficient, increasing your ability to adapt to challenges. with neurofeedback training, it is not necessary to relive traumatic events or evoke painful emotions, it simply works with brain dynamics. while psychotherapy can be helpful in managing PTSD and trauma, NeurOptimal® can help the brain regulate trauma response.
appropriate for children of all ages, NeurOptimal® has been used to alleviate the symptoms of a variety of challenges that kids face. one benefit of offering brain training to children is that they don’t have to ‘do’ anything to feel the effects. they simply sit or lie back and listen to music for the approximate 30 minute session. kids can play, color, or read during their training session.
