Why Combine Psychotherapy and Neurofeedback?

Psychotherapy helps us explore thoughts, emotions, behavior, relationships, experiences, and meaning.

Neurofeedback approaches the person from another direction: brain and nervous-system regulation.

For some clients, these approaches may complement one another conceptually. Therapy can help a person develop awareness and new psychological skills, while neurofeedback provides a different kind of training experience focused on patterns of brain activity.

Research investigating neurofeedback for PTSD has reported changes in symptoms and regulation-related outcomes, although research continues to develop. (PubMed)

At Phoenix, we do not believe technology should replace the therapeutic relationship.

We believe neuroscience and human connection can belong in the same treatment room.
