How Neurofeedback Can Help Manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Understanding Chronic Fatigue and the Brain

CFS is not only a physical condition—it deeply involves brain regulation. Studies show that people with chronic fatigue often exhibit abnormal activity in regions associated with attention, alertness, and autonomic control. Through neurofeedback for chronic fatigue, clinicians can identify and train these dysregulated areas, promoting improved neural efficiency and emotional stability.

By teaching the brain to self-regulate, neurofeedback supports more consistent energy levels and cognitive performance, addressing both the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue.

How Neurofeedback Promotes Energy Restoration

During neurofeedback sessions, sensors placed on the scalp monitor brainwave patterns in real time. When the brain produces healthier, more stable rhythms, the system provides positive feedback through visual or auditory cues. Over time, this process encourages the brain to sustain optimal states linked to relaxation, alertness, and recovery.

Benefits of neurofeedback for chronic fatigue may include:

  • Increased mental clarity and focus
  • Improved stress response and emotional regulation
  • Better quality of sleep and reduced insomnia
  • Gradual recovery of physical energy and motivation

Complementing Traditional Treatments

While there is no single cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, combining neurofeedback with lifestyle changes—such as mindfulness, balanced nutrition, and gentle exercise—can enhance recovery outcomes. Many clients report a decrease in brain fog and mood fluctuations after consistent sessions, allowing them to regain a sense of control and vitality in their daily lives.

Sydney Focht, MA, LPC

Clinical Director & Counselor

I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.

Cassandra Keller, MA, LPCC

Neurofeedback Clinician & Counselor (EMDR-Trained)

I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices. Whether we’re working with the nervous system, processing painful memories, or exploring patterns with curiosity, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported, present, and empowered to grow. I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing. Outside the office, you’ll often find me climbing, fly fishing, running trails, foraging, or relaxing in the grass under the aspens. My love for movement, play, and nature continually inspires how I show up with clients.
