What our clients say

"Wow! Connected Brain Counseling is awesome! Letting someone see inside your brain is both fascinating and a little scary. Michela was great to work with from the moment I stepped foot in her office. The brain map was incredible. It was like she could see inside and tell exactly what I struggling with."

FAQ

Neurofeedback at home teaches the brain through operant conditioning (think Pavlov’s dog!) how to adjust electrical patterns and neuronal connections that contribute to difficulty in behavioral change. More details can be found here.

Remote neurofeedback therapy is an incredibly safe modality that works within the natural processes of your brain. At the worst, some of our clients report minor headaches, agitation, or a brief disruption in sleep. In general, most clients leave feeling relaxed or neutral.

While most brains can benefit from neurofeedback to increase feelings of peace, joy, and overall wellbeing…the conditions that neurofeedback most commonly treats include generalized anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD/C-PTSD, insomnia, memory loss, and more. These disorders are well studied and documented to have positive results. Talk to our counselors in Denver for more details.

 

Relatively, yes! While no treatment program can completely ease the effects of unpredicted stress or future trauma, our clients tend to feel more resilient and confident in managing stressors without neurofeedback after their treatment program. The vast majority of our clients end their program with a 30-70% reduction in symptom severity and only visit us and talk to our counselors in Denver CO for “tune ups” in the face of extreme stress or newly developed trauma.

Neurofeedback at home therapy assists in calming the nervous system which allows the client greater access to making behavioral changes. Many individuals know they need to change a behavior, but their nervous system is acting from a trauma response that keeps them in repetitive destruction patterns. Neurofeedback regulates the brain to a calmer, safer baseline state that then allows the client to mindfully choose new behaviors and perspectives with the assistance of a licensed therapist.

Yes! Many of our clients take a holistic and well-rounded approach like cognitive behavioral therapy services to mental health treatment and complete multiple types of treatment at once.

We suggest completing talk therapy with your neurofeedback therapy program at a minimum in order to gain the most benefit from your time with us.

 

Most clients complete a minimum of 40 sessions, with some requiring 80+ sessions with our counselors in Denver CO. The number of sessions a brain needs is determined from a QEEG Brain Map. We re-evaluate your progress every 10 sessions to discuss what changes you feeling or not feeling, and adjust protocols depending on data fluctuations. With this level of detail paid to your progress, you will likely not need more than the quoted amount of sessions.

Neurofeedback is a subcategory of biofeedback. Biofeedback works on bodily functions such as heart rate and body temperature to help regulate the nervous system. Remote neurofeedback therapy works specifically on brain waves to help regulate symptoms associated with mental health such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD, insomnia, and more.

 

We recommend you train two to three times a week consistently with our counselors in Denver CO in order to gain the most out of your program.

qEEG Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback therapy can help ease symptoms of trauma by regulating the brain, taking it out of “fight or flight” mode and help increase patterns of mindfulness and mood regulation. It is also proven to help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD and others that may co-occur with trauma. Talk to our counselors in Denver CO or read more on our page here.

 

Up until recently, the technology for at home neurofeedback training systems was not proven to be as effective as in office equipment. With the field rapidly growing, though, new options for at home neurofeedback that are effective are hitting the market. Our counselors in Denver CO conduct consults to see if the type of equipment we offer is right for you and what types of results you can expect to see in office vs at home in a training program.

Most clients are asked to train 3-4 times a week with their neurofeedback at home program. Some clients will train as often as daily to start depending on symptom severity and what is learned from your qEEG Brain Map.

 

All remote neurofeedback training programs start at $600 for the initial qEEG Brain Map. This includes two hours of data collection and reviewing data with a clinician. Clients will purchase their headset for $250 (which can be used with multiple family members in the home). The monthly charge for remote training after that is $600/month. We do not have contracts and clients are free to end training at any time. Talk to our counselors in Denver CO to learn more.

Empirical evidence shows that neurofeedback at home training can ease symptom severity for conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, and more.
