    Frequently Asked Questions

    What different conditions does Neurofeedback help with?

    Neurofeedback helps with many conditions, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADD, ADHD, PTSD, migraines, learning disorders, autism spectrum disorder, concussion recovery, panic attacks, dizziness recovery, phobia disorders, seizure disorders, and more.

    *There are many more conditions helped by Neurofeedback that are being discovered each year. If the condition you are interested in is not listed above, please feel free to ask us.

    Is Neurofeedback safe?

    As long as the neurofeedback therapy is conducted by a properly trained clinical professional, the treatment is completely safe. Neurofeedback does not require any external stimulation or medications. NeuroFeedback is simply a means of measuring and displaying a patient’s brainwave activity, so as to correct unhealthy brainwave activity.

    Any potential negative side effects are very rare, minor and brief. They include fatigue or slight dizziness after a treatment. Feel free to discuss this with your technician.

    Are improvements permanent?

    In almost every case, observed improvements are permanent. Through repetition, the brain learns to respond differently than it did before to various stimuli and, once the brain has learned the new behavior, it is rare to see the brain return to its old behavior, providing the patient completed the recommended program.

    Is Neurofeedback covered by insurance?

    The answer to this is unique to the individual – some folks’ policies cover Neurofeedback, others do not. To have this answered you will have to ask your insurance provider – we are not able to tell you.

    *If insurance is indeed your only payment option, please contact your provider before you reach out to us.

    How much will it cost?

    This depends on a few factors, including how many treatments are needed, and should be discussed during your consultation. But, in order to provide a “ballpark” idea of cost, the following can be used as a guide:

    - After reading all FAQs, a first meeting (in person or by phone) is free
    - If you choose to go ahead, the first session and QEEG will cost approximately $700.
    - Treatments come next and cost about $2,650 for 20 sessions. *The ideal number of sessions is generally about 40, but this should be discussed for your situation.

    How many sessions will be needed?

    Again, this will depend on numerous factors, but 40 sessions is our clinic’s ideal and typical number. Sessions can be once a week or several times a week, and should be discussed with your technician.

    What is the success rate of Neurofeedback?

    This depends on which condition is being addressed and a few other factors, but it is safe to say that 70% to 80% of patients achieve lasting and significant improvement.

    Do the electrodes that go on my head hurt?

    No. The electrodes only measure brain activity. They receive information, they do not emit anything.

    Am I (or my loved one) a good candidate for Neurofeedback?

    This can only be determined after meeting with your technician, but answering “no” to this question is rare.
