How We Work Together

The Six Steps

Step 1 — Are We a Fit?

The initial consultation is where we understand your situation — what brings you in, what you have tried, what has and hasn't worked, and what medications you are taking. Then we ensure we are aligned on what it takes to create real change. This work requires showing up consistently — twice a week for a minimum of 20 sessions, 90 minutes per session — and staying engaged between sessions. We will have the conversation about the importance of your commitment, the importance of getting support for your obligations outside of treatment, your work schedule, childcare (if that is your situation), transportation, etc. or if a chronic condition or injury needs to be stablized first so it won’t get in the way of your treatment. Once you are in for 10 weeks, you are in for 10 weeks, no exceptions. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. My policies are strict in order to ensure the best possible outcome for your mental health and well-being, and your investment of time and money. I take that very seriously.

Step 2 — The Brain Map

Your brain has been trying to tell you something. A qEEG brain map allows us to listen. We measure the electrical activity across your brain with sensors (just like a thermometer takes the temperature) — where your brain is running too fast, too slow, overpowered, or underpowered. No guessing. No checklists. Just a clear picture of what's actually been going on inside.

Step 3 — Training Protocol Design

Now that your brain has told us your story, we design a training protocol that speaks directly to what it needs. Think of it as a custom workout plan for your neural circuits — some need to power down, others need to fire up, and connections between parts of your brain need to strengthen.

Step 4 — Brain and Nervous System Training

This is where the real work happens. Using your brain map as our guide, we begin Neurofeedback sessions that teach your brain new patterns in real time. We accelerate the gains by integrating Biofeedback and Photobiomodulation. Between sessions you'll work on lifestyle practices that reinforce your brain training. Each 90-minute session builds on the last.

Step 5 — Progress Mapping

After 20 sessions, we map your brain again to see exactly what's changed. This second qEEG Brain Map is included at no additional cost — it's how we track your progress objectively, not just subjectively. No guesswork. You'll see the evidence of your brain's transformation in black and white.

Step 6 — Next Steps

At 20 sessions, we review your progress mapping results together. Some clients choose to continue training to solidify their gains or target new areas. Others have achieved their goals and are ready to maintain their progress independently. You'll know exactly what you've accomplished and how to protect it.
