Understand Your Child’s Behavior
Do you ever wonder if there might be something deeper going on with your child? Does their behavior not make sense or their outbursts go beyond the typical? Has your kid changed from outgoing and bubbly to withdrawn or angry? Has development lagged behind peers or school levels?
Sometimes the answer is in their brain. And we can help with that at Grey Matters Neurofeedback and Counseling.
Grey Matters Neurofeedback and Counseling is a trusted provider in the greater Denver area that specializes in helping change difficult behaviors, emotional dysregulation and learning struggles
Neurofeedback? What is it? What does it help? How does it work? Does it hurt?
Neurofeedback uses software that trains the brain to regulate itself. We start with an assessment called a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG). This is also called a “Brain Map”. We measure brain waves in a simple recording to see what patterns and relationships are happening in each person’s brain. We review these findings with the family and offer our recommendations. This helps us customize a training plan that fits the unique individual, which usually includes using neurofeedback to train changes.
Neurofeedback has many types, and the foundation of all is teaching the brain to change through positive reinforcement. This is done by watching something that the child enjoys, and when the brain waves go in the direction to lessen symptoms, the screen will be clear and bright and the video will be smooth. When the brain returns to its usual pattern that is causing issues, the screen grows dark or stops playing. Their brain will naturally try to find that pattern that made their video bright and smooth again, without the child needing to do anything or “try”. Through many repetitions, the brain learns more quickly how to keep things the way it wants, and eventually this translates to everyday life. This is when we see improvements in prior areas of struggle.
Neurofeedback helps create more efficient learning, reduce emotional dysregulation, improve sleep, help heal head injury and improve cognitive function. It can be used with all ages. It is medication free, pain free and a very safe process!
Neurofeedback can help with many mental health areas of concern because it measures brain activity and can train new pathways to lessen symptoms. Anxiety, sleep issues, TBI/concussion, spectrum disorders, memory, attention/focus, long covid, depression, OCD and more are all struggles that can benefit highly from neurofeedback training.
Why trust us? We offer a team of top clinicians with board certifications in neurofeedback and qEEG. All EEGs are analyzed in house and personalized plans are developed using a collaborative approach. Each session is run with a neuro-therapist in a private room
in order to best suit the needs of each individual client. We employ modalities including photo-bio-modulation, neuro-stimulation, and ISF, as well as traditional counseling. We also work with and train adults!
