Neurofeedback and ADHD

Why Neurofeedback Is Gaining Popularity in Mental Health Care

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that monitors brain activity in real time and helps individuals regulate their brainwaves. Using advanced technology, neurofeedback practitioners measure brainwave patterns and provide feedback to train the brain to function optimally.

This therapy is particularly appealing because it is personalized and targets the root causes of mental health conditions, making it a versatile and effective solution.

Key Reasons Neurofeedback Is Gaining Popularity

1. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free

Unlike many traditional therapies, neurofeedback does not involve medications or invasive procedures. This makes it an attractive option for individuals looking to avoid potential side effects or dependency on pharmaceuticals.

2. Applicable to a Wide Range of Conditions

Neurofeedback has shown promising results in treating various mental health conditions, including:

  • Anxiety and depression.
  • ADHD and learning disabilities.
  • PTSD and trauma.
  • Sleep disorders.
  • Chronic stress.

This versatility has helped neurofeedback gain recognition as an effective alternative therapy.

3. Customized Treatment Plans

Each individual’s brain is unique, and neurofeedback tailors treatment to specific needs. By analyzing brainwave data, practitioners develop personalized programs to address the underlying causes of mental health challenges.

4. Improves Self-Regulation

One of neurofeedback’s primary goals is to teach the brain how to self-regulate. Improved self-regulation not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes long-term mental resilience and emotional balance.

5. Positive Results Backed by Research

Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of neurofeedback in reducing symptoms of conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD. With growing scientific support, neurofeedback is becoming more widely accepted in the mental health community.

Who Can Benefit from Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is suitable for individuals of all ages, from children to adults. It is particularly beneficial for those who have not responded well to traditional treatments or are seeking complementary therapies to enhance their mental well-being.

How Neurofeedback Fits into Modern Mental Health Care

As awareness about mental health continues to grow, so does the demand for innovative and holistic treatments. Neurofeedback aligns perfectly with this trend, offering a solution that addresses mental health challenges at their core.

Moreover, the integration of advanced technology in neurofeedback aligns with the shift toward evidence-based and tech-driven approaches in healthcare.

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.
