Neurofeedback Therapy
in Seattle

Yes. Neurofeedback has been studied for more than fifty years, with thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies supporting its use for ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, depression, substance use, and traumatic brain injury. It is endorsed by leading neuroscience and mental health organizations worldwide.

Sessions are calm, comfortable, and entirely non-invasive. Painless sensors are placed on your scalp — no needles, no electrical current sent into the brain — and you simply sit in a comfortable chair watching a screen or listening to audio while your brain receives real-time feedback about its own activity patterns.

Neurofeedback is widely considered one of the safest mental health interventions available. Because the equipment only reads brain activity — it does not stimulate it — there is no risk of physical harm. Some clients report mild, temporary fatigue after early sessions as the brain adjusts to new patterns.

Brain-training apps work at the cognitive layer — practicing memory or pattern recognition tasks. Clinical neurofeedback works at the neurological layer, directly training brainwave patterns using real-time EEG feedback. The two are fundamentally different interventions.

Most clients complete 20 to 40 sessions over several months, with measurable changes often appearing within the first 10 to 15. The exact number depends on your condition, goals, and how your brain responds to training.

Not necessarily. Neurofeedback is designed to work alongside other forms of care, not in place of them. Many clients use neurofeedback as a complement to therapy and medication, and some find that their need for medication gradually decreases as brain regulation improves.

Yes, and they often do exceptionally well. Children’s brains are highly neuroplastic, which means they often respond to neurofeedback faster than adult brains. Neurofeedback is widely used for childhood ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences.

Coverage varies by plan and provider. Some insurance plans cover neurofeedback under behavioral health benefits — particularly when used to treat diagnosable conditions like ADHD, PTSD, or anxiety. Our admissions team will verify your benefits before treatment begins.
