Neurofeedback and ADHD: How This Therapy Can Transform Lives

What Is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation. During a session, sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwaves, which are then analyzed using specialized software. Through feedback techniques, individuals can learn to modify and optimize their brainwave patterns, leading to improved focus and reduced impulsivity.

Why Is Neurofeedback Effective for ADHD?

The connection between neurofeedback and ADHD lies in brainwave regulation. ADHD is often linked to an imbalance in brainwave activity, such as:

  • Excessive theta waves, associated with daydreaming and inattention.
  • Reduced beta waves, linked to focus and alertness.

Neurofeedback helps to balance these brainwaves, improving symptoms like attention, emotional regulation, and impulsivity.

Benefits of Neurofeedback for ADHD

Here’s why neurofeedback is becoming a sought-after treatment for ADHD:

1. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free

Unlike medication, neurofeedback doesn’t involve drugs or invasive procedures, making it a safe option for all ages.

2. Personalized Therapy

Each neurofeedback session is tailored to the individual’s brainwave patterns, providing customized care.

3. Long-Term Results

Unlike medications, which need to be taken consistently, neurofeedback often leads to lasting changes in brain activity.

4. Improved Focus and Attention

By training the brain to self-regulate, individuals experience enhanced concentration and reduced distractibility.

5. Better Emotional Regulation

Neurofeedback can help reduce emotional outbursts and improve mood stability.

What to Expect During a Neurofeedback Session

The process is simple and user-friendly:

  1. Initial Assessment: A qEEG brain mapping session identifies brainwave imbalances.
  2. Neurofeedback Training: During sessions, the individual engages in activities like watching videos or playing games while the brain’s activity is monitored. Positive changes in brainwaves are rewarded with feedback, encouraging the brain to self-regulate.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Progress is tracked over several sessions, and adjustments are made as needed.

Who can Benefit from Neurofeedback and ADHD Therapy?

Neurofeedback is suitable for:

  • Children struggling with focus and hyperactivity at school.
  • Teens experiencing emotional regulation challenges.
  • Adults facing time management and organizational difficulties.

It is often used alongside other ADHD treatments, such as behavioral therapy or coaching, to create a comprehensive treatment plan.

Why Consider Neurofeedback?

If you or your child is struggling with ADHD symptoms, neurofeedback offers several compelling advantages:

  • No risk of side effects from medication.
  • Long-lasting improvements in attention and focus.
  • Enhanced self-awareness and emotional control.

Finding a Neurofeedback Provider

When searching for a provider specializing in neurofeedback and ADHD, consider these tips:

  • Look for clinics with experience in treating ADHD using neurofeedback.
  • Check reviews and testimonials to gauge the success rate.
  • Ensure the provider offers personalized treatment plans based on qEEG assessments.

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.

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.
