  Neurofeedback

  Neurofeedback Takes Practice Neurofeedback is akin to learning to ride a bicycle. You can't master it in a classroom; you have to practice. Similarly, during a Neurofeedback session, your brain receives EEG Biofeedback, helping it self-regulate brain states related to how we think, feel and perform in life. Just as you always remember how to ride a bike, the improvements you make are lasting. Imagine working out just 20-30 times and keeping the gains forever. With Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback, that's possible. Neurofeedback is a workout for your brain that can help you feel better, improve focus, and enhance performance with lasting results. Your brain is composed of electrical and chemical systems. While medication alters the brain's chemistry, EEG Biofeedback trains the brain's electrical system, resulting in functional improvements without risky side effects. Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback To book an initial evaluation for Neurofeedback, simply reach out by phone or online to schedule an appointment. The assessment itself takes approximately two hours and allows our therapists and software to generate a customized protocol for your unique needs. This includes identifying quantifiable symptoms, goals, and growth areas. Contact us today to schedule your initial evaluation.

• Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Remove
  Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  Neurofeedback for Children and Adults with ADHD The Neurofeedback approach has shown significant improvements in ADHD symptoms in as little as eight to ten weeks. Neurofeedback works by guiding the brain to shift disorganized or underperforming brainwave patterns into more stable, organized patterns. This process enhances attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and overall brain efficiency. Our approach focuses on maintaining brain stability. Many individuals with ADHD exhibit brainwave patterns that are running too slowly in key areas. This is why stimulant medications are often used to speed up brain activity. With neurofeedback, we help the brain do this naturally, training it to regulate itself more efficiently over time. Neurofeedback is safe, drug-free, and individualized to the client’s brain activity. It can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments, such as behavioral therapy, educational support, or medication. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) as a Level 1 – “Best Support” intervention for children with ADHD—their highest level of evidence-based endorsement for psychosocial treatments. Note: Always consult with your healthcare provider before making changes to any current treatment plan. Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback If you or your child is struggling with symptoms of ADHD, we’re here to help. Our team will develop a personalized brain training plan to support focus, mood, and self-regulation, without relying solely on medication. With neurofeedback, your brain learns how to perform better—and when your brain works better, life gets better too. Contact us today to learn more or schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
• Anxiety Remove
  Anxiety

  Addressing the Primary Sources of Anxiety Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback can address the three primary sources of anxiety: life experiences, brain over-arousal, and brain under-arousal. Sensory motor rhythm Neurofeedback can slow down an over-aroused brain, making everyday stress easier to manage. Our alpha-theta protocol addresses an over-aroused brain and the triggers from life experiences that stimulate the original events. Beta-Biofeedback helps teach the brain to speed up, which calms an under-aroused brain. A thorough evaluation with our professional team will determine which types and combinations of training are right for you. Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback Getting started means sending us a message online or calling our friendly team. During this call, we will answer your questions and go over our process. From there, we will schedule your first appointment where you will meet with a therapist who will provide an evaluation designed to discover your unique needs. This will involve a series of questions about your symptoms and taking an EEG to customize your training to your unique brain waves. With this information, our therapists will utilize our advanced software, creating a customized brain training protocol specifically for you. Contact the Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback team today to schedule your initial appointment. Take the first step toward training your brain to relieve anxiety, and regaining control of your life.

• Depression Remove
  Depression

  How Neurofeedback Enhances Mood and Reduces Symptoms Neurofeedback works with the brain in a “bottom-up” capacity, training it to get out of problematic states and into states that reduce symptoms, creating a healthier brain and improving thinking and mood. Neurofeedback has been shown to increase numbers of the brain neurons responsible for regulating overall mood. It is often possible to train the brain to achieve a level of calmness and balance that does not require medication or other types of treatment. Some brainwaves are related to feelings (both good and bad). An under-aroused brain often results in feelings of depression, and a lack of motivation. Neurofeedback trains the under-aroused brain to increase its activation with beta brainwaves for mood elevation. In other cases, alpha-theta protocols can help with reaction patterns to external events, preventing the damaging effects of negative loops. Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback We will identify your specific symptoms and create a baseline for measuring progress each session. To get started with Neurofeedback for depression, give us a call or fill out our online contact form. We will set up a time to answer any questions and schedule your initial evaluation. The evaluation process is designed to help us create a customized plan for you. We will then see you twice a week for sessions until you reach a plateau. Because Neurofeedback is true brain learning, the progress made continues long after your last feedback session. Depression is often accompanied by feelings of hopelessness. Many of our clients have tried two or three other treatments before coming to us. We have helped many clients who struggle with depression improve their lives and relationships in ways they didn’t think were possible. Let us help you, too.
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Remove
  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

  How Neurofeedback Addresses PTSD After trauma, the brain and nervous system can get stuck in a loop of repeating symptoms, indicating that the nervous system is dysregulated. At ECNF, we comprehensively evaluate symptoms to identify how to train the brain back to a state of equilibrium. Specifically, our evidence-based protocols help the brain improve connection to what is known as the "default mode network" (DMN). The DMN plays a key role in the ability to consolidate memory appropriately, integrating the experience so that the symptoms of distress are reduced. This benefits present relationships and life in general. Neurofeedback also increases the numbers of the brain neurons responsible for mood regulation, alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression without medication. Once the brain is in the right state to naturally process an experience, the response to triggers is reduced and symptoms are relieved. Getting Started with Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback PTSD is not a flaw or a sign of weakness. It is a signal of a dysregulated nervous system, and Neurofeedback can help. Many of our clients have tried several other treatments before coming to us. We have helped veterans, first responders, abuse survivors, children, and adults reduce symptoms of PTSD, regain their lives, and improve relationships. To get started with Neurofeedback, give us a call or fill out our online contact form. We will arrange a time to answer any questions and schedule your initial evaluation. The evaluation questions do not require any details of your trauma. We will treat you with respect and dignity and start on the path to helping you. Reach out to us at Emerald Coast Neurofeedback to schedule your initial consultation. Contact us today for more information and to schedule an appointment for your initial consultation.
