Neurofeedback/Biofeedback

Neurofeedback and biofeedback use real-time physiological feedback to help individuals improve self-regulation of brain and body functioning. These approaches may support concerns related to attention, anxiety, stress, sleep, emotional regulation, and performance.

How it Works

Neurofeedback and biofeedback use real-time physiological data to help individuals learn self-regulation skills. Sensors measure brain activity or bodily responses, which are fed back visually or auditorily.

Treatment focuses on:

  • Improving nervous system regulation

  • Reducing symptoms related to stress, trauma, or attention

  • Enhancing awareness of physiological responses

  • Supporting brain-based learning and resilience


How to Prepare

  • Maintain regular sleep and hydration

  • Avoid excessive caffeine before sessions

  • Be patient with gradual learning processes

  • Commit to consistent sessions

  • Talk to your clinician about the pros and cons of taking medication prior to neurofeedback assessment session

What to Expect

  • Initial assessment: Baseline measurements along with guidance as to how you may benefit from neurofeedback

  • Training sessions: Guided feedback-based exercises

  • Progress review: Adjustments based on response


Typical Outcomes

Many clients report improved emotional regulation, focus, sleep, and reduced symptoms of anxiety, trauma, or stress-related conditions.
