Welcome to Acton Neurofeedback

As experienced clinical psychologists, we have taken pride over the years in researching new theories and learning new techniques. We seek to provide our patients with the most current and effective modes of change.

Once we discovered the power of neurofeedback, we were so impressed by the results that we restructured our practice to emphasize neurotherapy (also known as EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback). Patients respond surprisingly quickly to this training, and even people with resistant conditions can produce lasting changes.

Change your brain, change your behavior

Many studies demonstrate that the insights and new behaviors fostered by psychotherapy generate significant changes in brain activity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has shown that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can induce similar changes in the brain, as can some medications. When medication is discontinued, however, the effect diminishes. Neurofeedback can help you learn to change your brain’s activity in an effortless and pleasurable process, one that strengthens over time even after neurotherapy has ended.

As the basic functional unit of brain activity, neurons communicate by electrical impulses. Neurofeedback training works directly on the neuronal level so that people can effectively modify and maintain new behaviors, without the undesired side effects of medication. Neurofeedback works synergistically with psychotherapy to more quickly strengthen positive changes in cognition and behavior.
