A NeurOptimal® trainer is someone certified to guide you in your neurofeedback journey using the NeurOptimal Dynamical Neurofeedback® system. At Neurofeedback Training Co., our certified trainers provide in-person sessions in New York or support you through our home rental program. We help you understand how the training works, support your goals, and answer your questions—whether you're a parent, adult, or professional looking to optimize brain function.

Each session is 33 minutes and involves sitting comfortably while listening to music through headphones. The NeurOptimal® system reads your brain’s electrical activity in real time and mirrors it back through brief pauses in the music. These interruptions signal your brain to self-correct, improving its flexibility and resilience over time. Learn more about how NeurOptimal® works.

Both options are effective, and the best choice depends on your schedule and needs. Renting allows for more frequent sessions in the comfort of home, which is especially helpful for families or those with busy routines. In-person sessions offer more guidance and are ideal for those new to neurofeedback or who want a one-on-one introduction. 

Yes! Most of our clients use our home rental program and receive remote support from our certified trainers. We offer guidance on setup, usage, and optimizing your training schedule. You’ll also receive regular check-ins and have the option to join our Clinical Corner calls for ongoing support.

Results vary by individual, but many clients report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and being more focused. Over time, the brain becomes more flexible and better able to handle stress. While we don’t treat specific conditions, we’ve supported thousands of clients with challenges like anxiety, ADHD, and overwhelm. Visit our client testimonials to hear real stories.

There’s no set number—every brain is different. However, we typically recommend a three-month period of consistent training to allow your brain to integrate new patterns. Think of it like learning a new skill or language: frequency and consistency matter. 

NeurOptimal® does not treat or diagnose medical conditions, but many clients report improvement in symptoms related to anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and stress. That’s because it helps the brain become more efficient and less reactive. 

You can book a session directly through our New York neurofeedback page. Sessions are held in Union Square and by appointment only. If you’re not in New York, consider renting a system and working with us remotely.

Yes, NeurOptimal® is non-invasive and safe for all ages. Many of our families use it to help their children with focus, emotional regulation, and better sleep. It’s also a great tool for teens facing academic pressure. Read our guide for kids and neurofeedback.

Our rental program includes a fully configured professional-grade NeurOptimal® system, easy-to-follow instructions, video tutorials, and support from a certified trainer. You'll also have access to our online support center and can attend our bi-monthly Clinical Corner calls for live Q&A.

Unlike traditional or protocol-based neurofeedback that targets specific brainwave frequencies, NeurOptimal® is a non-linear, non-directive system. It doesn’t push the brain in any direction—instead, it gives the brain information so it can adjust itself.

No diagnosis is needed to begin training. NeurOptimal® supports overall brain health and is used by people of all ages and backgrounds—from stressed-out parents to high-performing professionals. We work with many clients who are seeking support for challenges that don’t fit neatly into a medical diagnosis.
