What's Neurofeedback All About?
Your brain is the control center of your entire life, influencing everything from your mood and energy to your relationships and performance. When it's out of sync, you might feel stuck, struggling with challenges that seem impossible to overcome. Whether you're an adult feeling overwhelmed, a parent worried about your child, or caring for an aging loved one, our personalized brain training offers a breakthrough.
​
At Be You Neurofeedback, we use cutting-edge neurofeedback technology to help your brain learn and optimize its own functioning. It's like a sophisticated tune-up for your most important organ – gentle, non-invasive, and designed to help you become the best version of yourself. When your brain works better, everything in your life has the potential to work better too.
The Struggle Is Real
7 Million
An estimated 7 million (11.4%) U.S. children 3–17 years have been diagnosed with ADHD
6 in 100
About 6 out of every 100 people (or 6% of the U.S. pop.) will have PTSD at some point.
40 Million
Over 40 million adults in the U.S. experience anxiety disorders in a given year.
21 Million
Major depression affefts more than 8% (21 million) of American adults each year.
How's It Work?
Neurofeedback is like a gentle brain training method that uses your own brain's electrical signals to help you learn better ways of functioning. It's a completely natural process that helps you teach your nervous system new, more effective response patterns through a kind of mental muscle memory.
​
The best part? It's totally safe and straightforward. No invasive procedures, no medications, no electrical shocks - just you sitting comfortably while your brain does its own incredible learning. It's so simple and easy that anyone can participate, and the positive changes can be long-lasting.
​
Think of it like a workout for your brain, where you're learning to tune your mental frequencies without any external interference. Your brain essentially learns to optimize itself, creating more balanced and efficient neural pathways.
A Simple, Easy Process
Mapping
We'll capture images of the electrical signals firing throughout your brain. The map we create reveals specific areas of your brain that are contributing to your symptoms. What's developed is a targeted approach to retraining your brain's activity.
Training
We'll guide your brain through a series of reward-based neurofeedback training sessions. This targeted approach will help your brain discover new, more efficient pathways of response, leading to improved brain function and overall well-being.
Succeeding
Once you've completed a course of neurofeedback training sesssions, you'll likely notice positive changes in your brain function. These changes can lead to improvements in various areas of your life, such as focus, mood, and overall well-being.
Neurofeedback Takes Practice
Think of neurofeedback like learning to ride a bike - you can't simply read about it in a manual and become an expert. It's a hands-on experience where your brain actively learns and adapts. During a neurofeedback session, your brain gets real-time feedback through EEG monitoring, gradually training itself to optimize how you think, feel, and perform. And just like riding a bicycle, these neural improvements become second nature - skills that stick with you long after the training is complete.

What is Neurofeedback?Let's clear up some common misconceptions right away. Neurofeedback isn't some sci-fi brain zapping technique – there are no shocks, no electrical stimulation, and absolutely nothing invasive happening. In fact, it's completely safe and gentle. Think of it more like a sophisticated brain coaching session where your brain learns to optimize its own performance. Neurofeedback is a smart, scientifically-backed approach that helps your brain learn to function more efficiently. By using your brain's own electrical activity as feedback, we guide it towards more balanced and effective patterns. It's like teaching your brain a new skill – helping you improve how you think, feel, and perform in everyday life.
-
Does Neurofeedback involve medication?Absolutely not! Neurofeedback is completely medication-free. We're all about helping your brain learn and optimize its own functioning without relying on pills or pharmaceuticals. Instead, we use advanced technology to give your brain real-time feedback, allowing it to naturally train itself to work more efficiently. It's a drug-free, non-invasive approach that taps into your brain's incredible ability to learn and adapt.
-
How often do I need Neurofeedback?The number of neurofeedback sessions varies depending on your specific goals and individual brain patterns. Typically, our comprehensive brain training program involves around 40-50 sessions, with most people experiencing meaningful results between 15-25 sessions. Think of it like a targeted brain fitness journey - consistency and patience are key. Some individuals might need fewer sessions, while others with more complex challenges might benefit from the full training program. During your initial consultation, we'll create a personalized plan that's precisely tailored to your unique brain performance goals.

What happens during a training session?During a neurofeedback session, you'll sit comfortably in a relaxing chair while we place sensors on your scalp that read your brain's electrical activity. It's completely painless and non-invasive. You'll typically watch a video or play a game on a screen, and the special software provides real-time feedback to your brain through visual or audio cues. When your brain produces the desired brain wave patterns, the video might play smoothly or you'll hear positive sounds. If your brain starts to drift from the optimal pattern, the feedback changes subtly, guiding your brain to self-correct. Most people find the sessions relaxing - some even describe it as a meditative experience. You don't have to do anything special; your brain does the learning automatically while you simply sit back and enjoy the process.

Are there side effects of NeurofeedbackNeurofeedback is a non-invasive technique with no known long-term negative effects. During a qEEG brain mapping or training session, nothing is actually introduced into your brain. Instead, the process works by providing real-time audio and video feedback that essentially encourages your brain to "exercise" and optimize its own functioning. Just as you might feel different after a workout at the gym – maybe energized, tired, or slightly sore – some people experience mild, temporary responses after a neurofeedback session. A small number of individuals might feel more mentally wired or unusually tired, and a few might develop a mild headache. However, these sensations are typically short-lived, resolving within a few hours and causing no lasting impact.

Do you accept insurance?While we don't directly bill insurance, we're committed to making neurofeedback accessible and affordable. We provide comprehensive documentation to help you potentially seek reimbursement from your insurance provider. Our payment options include: Cash Personal checks All major credit cards To help manage your investment in your mental wellness, we offer discounted monthly treatment plans that can significantly reduce your overall costs. Consider the broader perspective: compare the cost of ongoing therapy, medication expenses, potential lost work productivity, and the emotional toll of unaddressed mental health challenges against the transformative potential of neurofeedback. When you weigh these factors, the investment in your brain's optimal functioning becomes not just reasonable, but essential.
"Neurofeedback has been life-changing for our family. We have a son with autism who is now off all of his medication’s for ADHD, and sleep. His anxiety, impulse control and stemming is so much better. we are so grateful we found Neurofeedback."
