Neurofeedback is often called EEG biofeedback because it is providing information on electrical brain activity and using that information to train the brain to perform more optimally, resetting adaptive behavior patterns. It is a system that is designed to observe brain activity and provide information (feedback) back to the brain through sensors that are placed on the scalp. The client feels nothing during the session, but the brain electrical activity responds to the feedback by creating positive shifts in its functioning.

• • Anxiety

• • ADD/ADHD

• • Dependence

• • Cognitive functioning

• • Depression

• • PTSD

• • Performance optimization

• • Complex PTSD

• • Impulsivity and reactivity

• • Traumatic Brain Injury

• • Migraines

• • Learning Disabilities

The therapists at Greenwood Counseling Center treat many of these areas using neurofeedback and do so in conjunction with the use of other therapy such as EMDR therapy.

There are numerous articles and publications available on neurofeedback and the LENS system. Listed below you will find a few of the resources available:
