Getting Started

The first step is completing a thorough clinical interview to determine if NFB is right for you. You will be answering multiple questionnaires and discussing your mental and physical health history, providing essential details of current symptoms and desired results through NFB.

Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for NFB, the second step is completing a quantitative EEG (qEEG), or Brain Mapping, in order to have a better understanding of how the brain is functioning and what areas may be over or under performing. EEG's allow us to create an individualized treatment plan and protocols, as no two brains are the same. 

Next, you will return to discuss the results of the qEEG and determine the targeted areas for treatment along with the number of treatments desired per week, usually 2 to 3 per week. The initial treatment will occur at this appointment allowing the client to experience the treatment process and determine the most desirable feedback options. 

After determining the best days and times of day for treatment, you will schedule your first 10 training sessions to be completed in preferably 4 weeks time. 

After the fifth treatment session you will provide detailed information about changes in your symptoms and any necessary changes to the treatment plan will occur if necessary. 

After the tenth treatment session, we will perform a second qEEG to see the progress in the brainwave changes thus far. Any modifications to the treatment plan that might be necessary will be implemented based on the data from the updated qEEG. The next 10 treatment sessions are then scheduled to be completed in preferably 4 weeks time.

After the 15th treatment session, you will provide detailed information about changes in your symptoms to continue to ensure we are headed in the right direction.

After the 20th treatment session, we will perform a third qEEG to see the progress in the brainwave changes to this point. If modifications are necessary, we will implement those in the treatment protocols going forward.  If symptoms have been alleviated and you feel confident in your progress, and it is determined you have achieved a sustainable brainwave pattern, we will terminate the treatment. If you continue to need additional treatment sessions, those will be scheduled at this time.

Additional treatment sessions will occur until symptoms have been alleviated and  you feel confident in your ability to maintain your progress. This can be anywhere from 20 to 60 sessions for the majority of our clients.
