Neuroscapes Neurofeedback

Neuroscapes is opening an ADHD testing clinic! (Scroll to the end if you don’t want to read my long post).

Have you ever wondered why psychologists and psychiatrists don’t include biomarkers in their diagnoses, when almost every other medical professional does? You would never be diagnosed with hypothyroidism without TSH labs, or get surgery to remove a tumor without knowing where it was located. Fortunately, the DSM-6 committee is now discussing the use of biomarkers in diagnosis.

Although the mental health field is not there yet, I believe that biomarkers are the future of diagnosis. The good news is, there are ways to learn about brain biomarkers now, while the rest of the field catches up. I have spent the last three years studying under a small group of practitioners who have been using quantitative EEG’s since the 1980’s to better understand brain symptom patterns. I am trained in a research-based model of interpreting QEEG brain maps as they relate to known biomarkers. Often, our method can also point to which type of psychiatric medications may/may not be helpful in treating specific symptoms.

As many of you know, I did psychological testing for years, and I burnt out on a system that I didn't feel was nuanced or accurate enough to help my complicated clients. But I am so excited to be back, doing this work in a way that feels so much more helpful!

Based on my training, I have been inspired to create a new model of psychological testing. Our model combines psychological testing with QEEG biomarkers, in the hopes of providing the most accurate assessment of what is really going on in the brain.

At this time, our clinic is ONLY doing ADHD testing. We will do testing without the QEEG for a lower cost for folks who are not interested in this option. We are a private pay clinic, but we can provide a superbill for insurance reimbursement.

Interested parties can fill out a form on our website or contact us at [email protected].

Psychological and Neurocognitive TestingWe currently offer two types of psychological assessment at our office: Brief Neurocognitive Testing, and ADHD assessments. Brief Neurocognitive Testing Brief neurocognitive testing is for neurofeedback clients. We do this with our own child and adult clients,...

Seizures are not always just inevitable.

Is it rigidity - or a trauma response?

For people living with chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD, standard therapies don't always provide enough relief. This is especially true for refugee populations, who often carry complex trauma layered with ongoing stressors like displacement, language barriers, and loss.

A recent feasibility study published in PMC examined neurofeedback therapy for chronic treatment-resistant PTSD among refugees. The results were encouraging: participants showed improved cognitive control and attentional focus, with measurable changes in brain activity (normalization of the P3 amplitude), alongside reductions in PTSD symptoms.

Neurofeedback addresses PTSD at the level of brain function, training neural patterns associated with hyperarousal and impaired attention to normalize over time. For people who haven't responded fully to talk therapy or medication, it offers a different pathway.

Yes! Our clients in their mid-80's are seeing the SAME changes as younger clients in terms of anxiety, insomnia, and improved cognitive functioning.

We absolutely love this characterization of ADHD: that a hugely advantageous reason for ADHD is having an abundance of curiosity. 🙏🏼

ADHD is officially a disorder of deficits in attention, behavior and focus. But patients point out upsides, like curiosity. Research is now catching up.

FMRI studies are finally showing what neurofeedback providers already know - because we see it every day.

Neurofeedback trains the brain to decrease symptoms of rumination and depression. And, the more often you train, the more you experience symptom relief.

A new study uses real-time fMRI neurofeedback to help depression patients reduce rumination by training specific brain circuits in a gamified environment.

Yet another reason why DSM-5 diagnosis is problematic and potentially quite skewed - DSM committee members received millions in funding from pharmaceutical companies. Those working on diagnoses that most respond to medications received the most money. Coincidence? I think not.
