Depression, anxiety and other symptoms of trauma do not have to be a life-long sentence. Through understanding your brain, you can learn how to create healthier brain waves and make lasting changes to your wellbeing.
Our Services
Neurocounseling combines the practice of counseling with neurofeedback (also known as EEG biofeedback) to inform patients of how their brain functions in order to make lasting changes in their mental health.
At Pathfinder Neurocounseling, we help those struggling with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, ADHD, substance abuse issues and processing of trauma. Along with talk therapy, we use neurocounseling to help patients understand the way their brain works, and make direct, research-based interventions to change their mental state. The brain is a malleable organ, which means we have the power to change it.
“Neurofeedback is the future in the treatment of trauma.”

Our Mission
If you want to change your mental health, you must first understand the organ behind it: your brain. At Pathfinder Neurocounseling, it’s our mission to help patients truly understand the way their brain functions, and make scientifically based changes to their brain wave activity that influence mood, unwanted symptoms, and behaviors.
One Hour
Less than one hour of brain training with neurofeedback leads to a strengthening of neural connections and communication among brain areas.
85 to 90%
Some neurofeedback studies have reported that 85% to 90% of people with ADHD produce a greater ratio of theta waves to beta waves — a pattern of brain wave activity associated with lack of focus and restlessness.
Level 1 Efficacy
The American Academy of Pediatrics determined neurofeedback a “Level 1 Efficacy” — “Best Support” for the treatment of ADHD.
“Neurofeedback should play a major role in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used.”
— Frank H. Duffy, M.D. Professor and pediatric neurologist at Harvard Medical School
