At Harvest Counseling & Wellness, we believe lasting healing comes when the mind and body learn new ways of working together. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free method that helps the brain “practice” healthier activity patterns. Over time, this training can improve focus, reduce anxiety, regulate mood, improve performance (in school, sports, and job), and even support recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, sometimes called EEG biofeedback, is best thought of as exercise for your brain. Just as physical training builds strength and coordination, neurofeedback helps your brain develop stability, balance, and resilience. Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain dysregulation. It retrains the brain to regain better control and focus.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive neurotherapy which helps you train your brain so you can enhance your brain health and improve your performance. It uses EEG technology to measure your brainwave activity and provide feedback in real time. This insight into your brain activity can help you have more control over reaching your goals. Neurofeedback can help guide your brain to change how it responds to stimuli that disturb the physical or mental equilibrium.
It has been used in clinics for decades to improve performance (school, athletic, and career) and enhance overall wellbeing and alleviate symptoms of ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, traumatic brain injuries, and more.
Here’s how it works:
Small sensors placed on your scalp measure your brainwave activity and offer feedback on your performance in real time, which means your brain gets trained while you watch you favorite shows or play video games! Your brain learns through reinforcement.
Specialized software processes this activity and uses it to adjust what you see or hear — such as a video, game, or sound.
When your brain shifts into the target range, the video plays smoothly or the game moves forward. When it drifts out of range, the feedback changes.
Over repeated sessions, it begins to regulate itself more effectively — much like muscle memory from physical exercise. This process can lead to better focus, steadier emotions, improved sleep, improved career and sports performance, and greater resilience after challenges such as concussion or TBI.

What to Expect During a Session
Assessment – We begin with a detailed intake and baseline mapping to understand your goals and brain activity.
Sensor Placement – Small EEG sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwaves.
Feedback Training – You’ll watch a video or play a game. When your brain is in the target zone, the screen responds positively. When it moves out of range, the feedback shifts.
Practice and Progress – With repeated sessions, your brain gradually learns to stay in healthier patterns more consistently.
Most people notice subtle improvements within a few weeks, with larger changes building over time.
Does Neurofeedback actually work?
Yes! It has been successfully used in clinics for decades to alleviate symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, traumatic brain injuries, sleep disturbances, and more, as well as improve performance and enhance overall wellbeing.
What About Medications?
Medications can be an important support for many people. Neurofeedback may complement that support by improving the brain’s ability to self-regulate. For some, this can lead to medication changes over time, but this varies from person to person. We encourage ongoing communication with your prescribing physician so that any adjustments are made safely and thoughtfully.
