What to Expect

Initial Consultation - Free of Charge

Our initial 30-minute consultation is free of charge. This is not an intake process, but a means for the client and clinician to determine if neurofeedback is the appropriate course of action. During this time, we explain the nature of neurofeedback, the modalities used, and answer any questions the client may have.

Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) and Report - $395

Quantitative EEG, or “brain mapping” is a way of assessing the brain’s functionality with the comparison of normative and clinical databases. EEG is a measurement, using digital technology, of electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp which reflect brainwave activity on the cortex (the “ bark” of the brain). Neurofeedback clinicians use this knowledge to train cerebral function with operant conditioning and counseling. This process involves an 1.5-2 hour long appointment where we complete the recording, discuss preliminary results, and next steps together.

Neurofeedback Sessions - $135

The investment for one neurofeedback session in office is $135 and typically lasts for approximately 50-55 minutes. Depending on the demands of the brain and body, sometimes the sessions are shorter.

We recommend that you attend a minimum of 10 sessions to have an opportunity to experience progress toward your goals. Neurofeedback teaches and guides the brain to better regulation and functioning. Although most people see improvement within 5-7 sessions, some are late responders. Most clients need 25-35 sessions to consolidate learning from Neurofeedback training. More difficult cases may require more. It is reasonable to expect a 50% reduction in symptoms and sometimes more. Along with your assistance, progress will be closely tracked to determine next steps.

Neurofeedback Home Sessions - $100

The investment for home training sessions is $100/session + a technology fee and is the most economical. Home training is appropriate for out-of-town clients, those with scheduling challenges or those who wish to see results quicker. Home training generally lasts 8-14 weeks consisting of 3-4 sessions a week. Clients training at home can see results quicker due to training more frequently. Progress is cumulative and builds on itself and towards the end results begin to plateau. This plateau marks the final phase of training and is necessary for changes to become more or less permanent.

Counseling - $160/$150

I work with a variety of clientele utilizing a person-centered approach, which means that our sessions will start with you and your needs. Together, we will explore the issues that you bring to counseling in a holistic way with emphasis on emotional and personal history perspectives. Whether you are a teen needing assistance navigating life, a young adult in search of the next steps or adult in the middle of life transitions, beginning or returning to counseling is a big step. Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside of you. I am in network with Aetna and BCBS for counseling.
