What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge training system using EEG technology to promote brain growth and change. It involves analyzing brain electrical activity with a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG).

How Neurofeedback Works

Imagine you are training your brain like you would train your muscles at a gym. During neurofeedback sessions, electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave frequencies. The software then provides immediate visual or auditory feedback based on your brain’s activity.

When your brain meets certain goals—like inhibiting specific frequencies and enhancing others—the feedback is positive, and your brain is rewarded. For example, the screen might get brighter and the music clearer. When your brain does not meet the goals, the screen dims, and the music quiets. Over time, this feedback helps train your brain to self-regulate, positively impacting your central nervous system.

Brainwaves 101

Think of brainwaves like musical notes: low-frequency waves resemble a deep drum beat, grounding and steady, while higher-frequency waves reach a subtle, high-pitched flute, light and quick. These various frequencies harmonize seamlessly in a beautifully orchestrated symphony, creating a balanced and unified sound. Similarly, our brain function relies on the harmonious interplay of these different frequencies. When these frequencies are in sync, we experience mental clarity, emotional stability, and peak performance. However, when they are out of balance, much like a discordant piece of music, it can lead to various emotional and neuro-physical health concerns.

When our brainwaves are balanced and harmonized well, we are in mental and emotional well-being. Our focus is sharp, we can easily relax, our emotions are stable, and our sleep is restful and deep.

Conversely, when these frequencies are out of tune with each other, problems can arise. For instance, excessive theta activity while awake can result in daydreaming and lack of focus, potentially manifesting as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Elevated levels of beta waves can correlate with anxiety, stress, and restlessness.

The Neurofeedback Process and Sessions

New clients will begin with a scheduled intake with a complete medical history to begin treatment at the clinic. Neurofeedback sessions typically last 25-30 minutes and occur, on average, twice a week over approximately seven to eight months. There is also an option for at home sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

EEG neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training technique that uses real-time feedback to help your brain learn to self-regulate. Sensors are placed on your scalp to measure brainwave activity, and you receive instant audio or visual feedback when your brain is producing patterns associated with calm, focus, or balance. Over time your brain learns to shift into those patterns on its own — without effort or medication.

No — neurofeedback at Mentally STRONG is self-pay only. In-clinic sessions are $50 per session. Home system rental is $450 per month. There are no hidden fees and pricing is transparent upfront.

Most people begin to notice changes within 10-20 sessions, though this varies depending on your goals and what you're working on. Anxiety and attention challenges often respond relatively quickly. More complex goals may require more sessions. Your provider will give you a realistic sense of what to expect based on your specific situation.

Neurofeedback has the strongest evidence base for anxiety, ADHD, mood dysregulation, and cognitive performance. Many people also use it for stress management, sleep improvement, and overall mental clarity. It is not a replacement for psychiatric care or therapy but can be a powerful complement to both.

Yes — neurofeedback is non-invasive and does not involve any electrical stimulation. The sensors simply read your brainwave activity. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as temporary fatigue after a session. It is considered safe for most people including children and adolescents.

The home rental system allows you to train on your own schedule from the comfort of your home at $450 per month. For many people the ability to train more frequently at home accelerates progress. Your provider will help you determine whether in-clinic sessions, home rental, or a combination is the best fit for your goals and lifestyle.

Absolutely — and many of our clients find that neurofeedback works powerfully alongside psychiatric care, the Mentally STRONG coaching programs, or ketamine treatment. Because all of these services are offered under the same roof, your care can be coordinated in a way that no single-service clinic can offer.

Neurofeedback may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals with certain neurological conditions or active psychosis should consult with their provider before starting. During your initial consultation our clinical team will review your history and goals to confirm whether neurofeedback is the right fit for your situation.
