Direct Neurofeedback - A Different Mode of Therapy


Listen Later

Direct Neurofeedback uses an extremely low-strength electromagnetic current. Small sensors are placed on the temples and around the head to monitor brain activity and send a tiny, imperceptible signal to the brain. This signal slightly disrupts typical brain activity, helping the brain "see" its useful and inefficient neural patterns. The DNF currents help the brain create new neural pathways creating adaptation and new personal growth. The current is completely harmless and totally safe for adults and children.

Direct Neurofeedback can help you alter your maladaptive brainwaves to create new, more optimal pathways, helping you feel more relaxed, calm, and clear and it can be used to treat mental help conditions.

ABOUT CHAD NORTHCOTT, MA, CCC
Chad’s approach to therapy is trauma-informed, integrative, and holistic. He utilizes training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and connecting with nature through Forest Therapy. These approaches are all built upon a foundation of Mindfulness training, and ways to bring greater awareness to our everyday functioning. Chad also has training in Direct Neurofeedback, which is seen as an adjunct to his other therapeutic work, and which has shown great promise for working with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, ASD, and PTSD. Chad balances his client load between working within the adult population and with youth.
