Latest Neurofeedback Reviews 2023
Here's a new Yelp review from a mother in California seeking help for her 17 year old with depleting worry and fear in social settings. She came in for a session first and got a live-demo on how to operate the system. Her teenage son fell a sleep during his first session.
Neurofeedback training has significantly helped me and my son. The rental process was easy and Sara was great at explaining how to use the unit. We had no problems using the unit at home. The training greatly helped my son who has severe anxiety relax and sleep better. He started sleeping like a baby a few sessions in to our training. I also feel less stressed since starting using Neurofeedback. We will certainly revisit again in the near future. Thank you Sara and team.
Is neurofeedback worth the money? Here's a review from a client in California who came in for a session and then decided to rent:
The Neurofeedback rental was easy to use, cost efficient and extremely effective for me. I am able to manage my stress better and feel more calm.
This client, located in Santa Monica, California, had heard about neurofeedback from her therapist. She was looking for a way to ease her worry and fear during the 2021 Covid-19 lockdown:
Neurofeedback with this team has been such an incredible experience. Sara has been so kind and amazing, making this experience even better! I went in for feeling severe anxiousness, as I was having unexpected strong emotions triggered in certain social situations. From the first session these emotional attacks on my wellbeing subsided. Throughout the couple of months of neurofeedback, my worry and fear in social gatherings dramatically lessened. I used to have very physical reactions to group meetings, seeing old friends and anything that was a big deal for me. I would get massive rash, my heart rate soared and I had so much nervous sweat- until the last couple weeks (post neurofeedback) I have literally had no reaction in the 3 big meetings since then. I didn't even know that could be fixed! 100% I recommend take the step toward better mental health. I feel like I can function now.

Diane from San Gabriel Valley came in for a session first and then rented a home system. She noticed immediate results after only a few sessions (please note: every brain is different in how they respond to the training. Read also our blog post on how many sessions one may need here:
I had heard about neurofeedback from a friend years ago and since then always wanted to try it. I started with 3 sessions to give it a try and I am very pleased by the results. I do a lot for my health; I exercise and eat healthy. I knew neurofeedback training worked for me because after a few sessions I remembered my dreams for the first time in years.

Carla in Glendale rented a system and comes in for booster sessions in Pasadena every 6 months or so:
Neurofeedback Training has helped me greatly with sleep issues, anxiety, energy and focus. It takes time and is an investment, but you will see results if you do it regularly. I noticed immediate results but also cumulative results when doing regular sessions. I did a large number of weekly sessions and now I just use it occasionally to rebalance. I use this in conjunction with other treatments and modalities which I find also helpful to do.

About Neurofeedback Brain Training
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that was developed out of the discoveries of biofeedback. Neuroscientists discovered that measuring and tracking the brain’s electrical activity, or brainwaves, was not only meaningful but could be used as a form of feedback to help correct or optimize the brain’s performance.
The mental and emotional experiences people have are created through the brain’s use of neuro-chemicals and electricity. Lack of mental focus when trying doing school work or worrying when it’s time to fall asleep are examples of how the brain can get stuck in patterns of activity that don’t benefit the individual in their current needs.
Only recently has the speed of computing technology reached a level that neurofeedback devices could be created. The speed of the brain’s computing (think of electricity running through wires at a speed of milliseconds) can now be tracked by computers allowing this type of feedback system to created as a tool for brain wellness.
BENEFITS OF NEUROFEEDBACK
With sessions at our Los Angeles neurofeedback center, the client learns to reset the brain's negative patterns, allowing the individual to better manage sleep, emotional regulation and cognitive fitness such as focus and concentration.
Often clients report feeling calmer, more focused and relaxed at the end of a session. View our business page on Yelp to read client's reviews.
Our clients are adults and children of all ages. Each train for a variety of reasons. We see the best results in children when parents also have neurofeedback sessions.
Benefits may include:
- Sleep management
- School / academic performance
- Executive functioning
- Emotional fitness and resiliency
- Mental fitness for anti-aging
- Stress management
Why We Chose The NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback System
Our first neurofeedback center was in New York and opened in 2011. After 10 months of researching different equipment, we decided on the NeurOptimal® device because it met our needs to provide effective and safe neurofeedback while keeping the costs for clients as low as possible.
The NeurOptimal® system is also the latest generation of neurofeedback.
In the first generation, the skilled trainer would set protocols to encourage the brain to change its brainwave patterns to match those of a ‘normal’ brain. While somewhat effective, it has limitations in that it was taking a linear approach (the brain is a nonlinear system) and not using real-time data about the maladaptive brainwaves. Potential for creating side effects from over or under training was possible. It also proves difficult because it required guessing which maladaptive patterns to prioritize.
With the second generation, the advancements in computing power allowed the design of the system to shift to be synchronized with how the brain optimizes its own performance. The expertise moved from the external trainer to the individual’s brain. This profound shift allowed the device to use real-time information about the maladaptive patterns, which is much more precise and valuable than using a QEEG or brain map that was taken months ago.
It also is fully automated and does not require an expert setting protocols session by session, making the home neurofeedback device a reality. This shift dramatically reduced the potential cost for clients making neurofeedback at home an option.
In Los Angeles, where location and time spent in traffic is an issue, being able to offer clients a home neurofeedback system is important to us. Neurofeedback training is a commitment and we want to ensure the greatest likelihood of success for our clients.
