Neuro-Biofeedback


Johns Creek and Alpharetta Counseling is exciting to offer a new service!


Neuro-BioFeedback
Neuro- Biofeedback is essentially brain training that can improve the brain's ability to regulate. This means Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, TBIs, ADHD, and emotional problems in children. Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain dysregulation. These happen to be numerous. They include the anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, behavior disorders, various sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. It is also useful for organic brain conditions such as seizures, the autism spectrum, and cerebral palsy.


Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. We observe the brain in action from moment to moment. We show that information back to the person. And we reward the brain for changing its own activity to more appropriate patterns. This is a gradual learning process. It applies to any aspect of brain function that we can measure. Neurofeedback is also called EEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the electroencephalogram, or EEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function. Self-regulation training allows the system (the central nervous system) to function better.


We offer brain mapping (assessment) and ongoing neuro-feedback services by a highly trained specialist working toward board certification.
