WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK THERAPY?
Neurofeedback therapy is a type of biofeedback therapy which includes syncing the mind and body with certain techniques that can help the patient to gain more control over self. Neurofeedback therapy
HEALTH measures brainwaves and provides the patient with immediate feedback on how their brain is functioning when targeted with specific triggers. Neurofeedback can be used to treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, drug addiction, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, PTSD and other mental health conditions.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING A SESSION?
Neurofeedback therapy is done in our Philadelphia location by a trained professional. Clients are brought into a private room and will go over an assessment to understand what areas in their life they may be struggling with. The trained professional will connect a special cap on the client’s head with electrodes attached that sensor different electrical signals produced by the brain. During the connection of electrodes, there are no needles, medications or discomfort involved. Several sessions are done while you relax in a chair and watch tv, listen to music or something similar, while the electric activity in your brain is being measured. The ultimate goal after numerous sessions is for a client to be able to see how their brain functions and to learn to think and respond differently to various triggers of life. The more sessions that are performed, the longer-lasting the results can be.
ARE THERE RISKS?
There are minimal risks associated with participating in neurofeedback treatment. In fact, most studies support that neurofeedback helps to train your brain to be more effective and enhance mood. Neurofeedback is effective in helping patients to have long-term symptoms relief from whatever mental health condition that is primarily affecting them.
DO I HAVE TO BE AN OUTPATIENT CLIENT IN ORDER TO SIGN UP FOR TREATMENT?
No! The best part of this service is we are here to serve the community. While we have found it significantly effective in helping our patients who suffer primarily with substance use disorder, many studies done in neurofeedback therapy have been with other mental health disorders. Insurance will cover your therapy. Call us today to get enrolled! PRH
