What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a computer-based biofeedback system that gives information to the client about what their brainwaves are doing. The client plays a video game without using their hands—just by changing their thoughts. This exercise helps the brain to re-regulate itself and thus can impact most things the brain controls! Studies show that Neurofeedback works as well as medication for ADHD, and improves depression panic attacks, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions, and much more.

What Clients Are Saying        

"Before I started Neurofeedback, I had anxiety so bad I couldn’t go to school, or see friends. After a few months of NF, I was back in school, on the honor roll and had a new job. NF has been like a miracle in my life. I can’t thank Deb enough—she’s always very personable and caring. She made me feel comfortable and safe.” AT

15 year old AT couldn’t attend school because of severe panic attacks. She couldn’t go to stores or visit friends. She had IBS, Fibroymyalgia, and couldn’t sleep. Various medications had not helped. 3 months and 24 NF sessions later, she had no symptoms at all! She attended school every day, rode the bus, ate well and spent time with friends. Her IBS and Fibromyalgia were totally gone, and she was 100% medication-free.

AN, a 9 year old boy, had been kicked out of school for violent and aggressive behavior. He was on 3 psychotropic medications and 2 stimulants. Despite being on all this medication, he still had trouble with impulsivity, hyperactivity, concentration and cooperation. His parents had abandoned him and he lived with his grandmother. After 46 Neurofeedback sessions over the course of one year, AN was back in school, with good grades, good behavior and a proud grandmother. And—he was off all medication. He said ‘I have a new life’.

“Neurofeedback has helped me both academically and athletically. I used to daydream during class or wrestling matches; now I have the ability to really focus in completely on the teacher or the match and not be distracted at all. My sleep improved and the quality of my life improved dramatically.” GS

“I have tried a variety of treatment...and Neurofeedback is the only thing that has really helped me feel good...I no longer crave alcohol, very rarely get depressed or feel bad about myself—even at a challenging time in my life. I have learned to take small steps, enjoy life, be happy and be me, something I had trouble with. Debra Burdick is a very patient, accommodating, down to earth, knowledgeable practitioner.” JG


What the Research Says        

Recent research has demonstrated that while Ritalin (used for ADD/ADHD)is effective in 60%+ of cases, its effects are not long-lasting and the dangers can be significant1, including:

-stunted growth -heart attacks -irritability

-insomnia -stomachaches -anxiety

Studies have indicated that Neurofeedback is 80% effective and long-lasting2, with no negative side effects. It’s painless and easy, and can make a huge difference in your life or the life of your child.
