Neurofeedback! Our favorite hidden gem!

Have you heard of it? It’s one of those therapy tools that doesn’t get enough attention.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive approach that helps your brain learn how to regulate itself more effectively, especially around things like anxiety, mood, sleep, focus, and stress.

And, winter may be one of the best times to try it!

Shorter days, less sunlight, disruptive routines, and increased stress can all impact how well our brains regulate. For many people, this shows up as feeling more anxious, low, foggy, overwhelmed, or on edge during the colder dark months.

neurofeedback help support:
- anxiety and stress regulation
- seasonal mood shifts and changes
- sleep difficulties
- emotional reactivity
- focus and mental fatigue

Clients say they often notice subtle but meaningful shifts overtime, better sleep, calmer responses, and a greater sense of stability.

If you’re curious about Neurofeedback and how it can aid your current treatment, give our office a call at 846-232-6137
