What sets us apart
In-depth objective assessments
We administer and interpret comprehensive assessment including QEEG (Quantitative Electoencephalogram) brain mapping and create diagnostic reports. QEEG provides valuable functional information about the brain, comparable to that obtained through more invasive testing methods like SPECT and PET scans. QEEG stands out as a more objective tool in assessing brain function compared to subjective pen-and-paper tests, which can be susceptible to biases introduced by either the clinician or the client. Its objective neurophysiological measures enhance the reliability and accuracy of the diagnostic process.
Cutting-edge technology and innovation
Our team utilizes the latest technological innovations and evidence-based neuroscientific approaches to wellness. Infraslow Fluctuation (ISF) Neurofeedback training impacts the brain’s flexibility to move from fight/flight/freeze to rest and repair. ISF coordinates processes in the brain with processes in the body. The heart, the blood, the digestive system, and the Autonomic Nervous System are all coordinated at these very slow frequencies. This synchronizing effect works to produce a brain and body that has the flexibility to respond appropriately to the environment. The goal of ISF training is to reach a condition of homeostasis in mind and body that simultaneously promotes a calm, alert and more flexible state.
Certified, trained and committed on ongoing learning
At Brainstorm Neurotherapy, Cara is Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN) and is a QEEG-Diplomate. She seeks ongoing mentorship and supervision with experts in the field, and continues to seek and learn new techniques and therapies that will help with a range of clients. All therapists and technicians are Board Certified in Neurofeedback and actively pursue ongoing education. Technicians have or are completing degrees in psychology. Master’s level therapists are also regulated health professionals and are dedicated to ongoing learning and professional development.
Help for all ages
Our neurofeedback technicians work with all age groups: adolescents and adults. Neurofeedback is considered to be a safe and non-invasive training. It does not involve the use of medication or any other interventions that might have side effects. Instead, it relies on an individual’s own ability to self-regulate their brain activity through training and practice. There have been no serious adverse effects reported in the literature on Neurofeedback for children. Some individuals may experience mild fatigue during or after a Neurofeedback session, but these effects are temporary as the brain develops more resilience and strength.
Therapy cats
Introducing our therapy cat program featuring the unique and comforting presence of (mostly hyperallergenic) Sphynx cats. These hairless wonders not only offer soothing skin-to-skin contact but also encourage us to embrace vulnerability, fostering a safe environment for emotional expression. Their playful and novel interactions act as a delightful distraction, providing an additional layer of support during therapy sessions.
