Federal matters
We are equipped to provide services to individuals in federal custody, irrespective of the location of their detention facility.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a sophisticated technique that enables individuals to learn how to regulate their brain wave patterns indirectly. During a typical neurofeedback session, electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor the brain's electrical activity in real time. This data is processed and displayed as visual, auditory and/or tactile feedback, which the individual observes while engaging in their treatment protocol.
Neurofeedback contacts: Breann N. Martin, PsyD, Jordan Martin and John Ross.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that neurofeedback can lead to improvements in attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in individuals with ADHD, often resulting in a reduction in medication use.
Research indicates that neurofeedback can help manage symptoms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks, by targeting and regulating overactive brain regions associated with anxiety.
Several studies have shown that neurofeedback can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression by balancing brain activities that relate to emotional regulation.
Neurofeedback has been used to treat PTSD by stabilizing and optimizing brain function, thereby reducing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance.
Neurofeedback training can assist in regulating sleep patterns and improving sleep quality, and is particularly beneficial for conditions like insomnia and restless legs syndrome.
