The assessment typically takes approximately 2 hours.
The first step in understanding what will help your brain is doing a Brain Map. This is a QEEG, quantitative Electroencephalograph, which involves placing a cap with sensors on the head and recording 20 minutes of data with your eyes open and then eyes closed. Once the data has been artifacted and edited it is compared to a normative data base that is both gender and age specific. This shows us how your brain compares to a person of the same sex and age. The Brain Map looks at the brain three ways: power, Coherence, and Phase. For the Brain to operate efficiently the right amount of power needs to get to the right part of the brain at the right time. Coherence shows us how the brain is sharing information. Phase is the timing in the brain. We also do a LENS map which shows what parts of the brain are suppressed.

We do an Independent Variable Analysis (IVA) to determine how the brain responds and pays attention to both visual and auditory stimulus. A Neurocognitive test is done that looks for behavior or mood disorders as well as cognitive processing issues. Our test battery is compiled so that the different tests will validate each other.

The final step is sitting down and explaining the results of the brain map (QEEG) and the other assessments. Based on what we have learned, we share our recommended treatment program utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Biofeedback and Neurofeedback.

The testing can be done in one session or broken down into two appointments. Most people are able to complete all the testing in one appointment which is around 2 hours.

No. The treatment solutions program is designed based on the assessment or evaluation. Some programs will include neurofeedback and LENS, Neuromodulation and/or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Each program is designed to address the individual needs and concerns each person may have

Each patient has different needs, and on average 25–30 sessions are required to see permanent change. More sessions may be required based on the severity of the condition.

Each treatment solutions session is about an hour. Time is allotted for setup and discussion between the therapist and client.

People who see the best results come on average twice a week to maximize the effects of their treatment solutions. Some avail themselves of the intensive therapy program, which is especially helpful for out-of-towners.

There are no side effects associated with Biofeedback or Neurofeedback. Patients often report better sleep and focus, decreased impulsiveness and a relaxed mood. In fact, these are the primary reasons Biofeedback and Neurofeedback are chosen as an alternative to medication.

We can offer you the Visitor Program. The Visitor Program is especially designed for people coming in from out of town who wish to avail of our intensive therapy program for about 2 to 4 weeks only. This program utilizes Neurofeedback or Integrated Approach therapies depending on your needs. All sessions are done at our clinic in Dallas. Please call us directly and we can provide you information on restaurants, car service and lodging.

The first day includes the assessment or evaluation which lasts approximately 2 hours and is comprised of 3 tests. We map the brain 2 ways: with LENS to look at Neuroplasticity, and a QEEG that is a Brain Map that looks at the power and timing in the Brain and how it shares information. Next is a Neurocognitive Test that looks at the brain 4 ways: self-regulation, emotions, feelings, and thinking. If the main concern for a child under the age of 12 is ADHD, we will do an IVA (Independent Variable Analysis) Test that looks at how the brain processes information both visual and auditory. The results of the assessment are used to determine what types of Neuromodulation and Neurofeedback will be utilized in your treatment solutions program. The total charge for the assessment is $750.

Then we will schedule the appropriate services that may include Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, Neuromodulation or LENS, or Integrated Approach treatment solutions by adding Psychotherapy or talk therapy. Our sessions are $175 for 50 minutes of any kind of treatment solutions. For the Visitor Program, we recommend 1–2 sessions per day for 6–7 days per week depending on schedule availability, at an average of 25–30 sessions total. We can compress or spread out the sessions depending on your length of stay, with the maximum of up to 2 sessions per day only.

We expect you to see some change around 6 sessions but for the change to hold in the brain it takes more reinforcement. We want to take you as far as you want to go. We also offer family discounts.

We offer a modality of treatment solutions virtually. Please call the office to learn more.
