Neurofeedback- Neurofeedback, also known as Neurotherapy or EEG Biofeedback, is a form of biofeedback that teaches the individual to alter their brain wave processing via receiving information of their EEG represented by visual and audio computerized feedback in real time while their brain waves are being measured by electrodes placed strategically on the scalp in two or three places. (Biofeedback basically refers to any process where one learns to alter their bodily state by receiving direct bio-physiological feedback-hence biofeedback.)
It has powerful therapeutic benefits and can be used for a myriad of conditions and desired states, from ADD and Autism to increased meditation skills and improved athletic and performance ability. This clinic has seen first hand improvement measured by QEEGs and IQ scores and improved school performance in children and adults as well as reports of decreased anxiety, pain levels and uplifting of mood, improved concentration and organizational abilities.

HRV/GSR Biofeedback-HRV/GSR Biofeedback focuses on calming and strenghthening the nervous system through learning how to control and regulate galvanic skin response (pores opening and closing related to body temperature and stress response) and heart rate variability (the flexibility of the heart rate) via mastering the relaxation response. The relaxation response consists of a "relaxed mental state, a positive emotional tone and deep diaphragmatic breathing."
