Train your brain. Transform your life.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive way of helping your brain work the way it was made to. There's no medication and nothing to push through. It's a proven approach to lasting change, drawing on your brain's own God-given capacity to heal.
Whatever you're facing right now, whether it's anxiety, restless sleep, scattered focus, or a low mood that won't lift, the place to begin is a free conversation with our Care Coordinator.

If you've tried everything
Neurofeedback often helps where other approaches haven't, because it works a layer beneath them. Much of what feels like personal failure is really a nervous system that never had the chance to settle, and that can change. It doesn't depend on trying harder.
Where it helps
Because neurofeedback works at the level of regulation rather than any single diagnosis, it reaches a wide range of struggles. The evidence, and our own experience, are strongest in a handful of areas.
Neurofeedback has a meaningful track record with each of these, and we have written more about anxiety and stress, ADHD and focus, depression, and sleep.
It has also been used to support people living with migraines, the aftereffects of concussion, and other neurological conditions, always alongside the care of their physicians.
Wherever it is applied, the aim is the same. We are not treating the label. We are helping the brain regulate itself, so that whatever is attached to that label has less room to take hold.
Your brain is doing the work
A session asks almost nothing of you. Small sensors rest on your scalp and read the electrical activity your brain is already producing. You relax, usually watching a film or listening to music, while the system reflects that activity back to you in real time. When your brain drifts toward calmer, more organized patterns, the picture plays clearly and the sound stays full. When it slips out of them, the feedback softens. Your brain notices the difference, and over many repetitions it learns to find the steadier pattern on its own.
None of this takes effort or concentration. The learning happens beneath conscious attention, the same way you once learned to balance on a bike without thinking it through. That is why the change tends to hold: the brain is not being propped up from the outside, it is relearning something it is fully capable of doing for itself.
It helps to know what the sensors are and are not doing. They only listen. Much like a heart monitor reading a pulse, they measure what is already there and add nothing to it. Neurofeedback puts no current, no medication, and no signal into the brain.
Why we train the whole brain
Most approaches begin with a symptom and work backward from it. Neurofeedback at Banner begins with the brain as a whole.
The reason is simple. Two people can arrive with the very same complaint, poor sleep, say, or a mind that will not settle, and be dealing with entirely different patterns underneath. Treating the symptom alone can miss what is actually driving it. So rather than chase a single problem, we look at how the brain is regulating itself across the board and train toward balance in the system itself.
We don't chase symptoms. We train the system they come from.
This is also why one kind of training can reach so many different struggles. When the brain regulates itself more steadily, the good effects show up wherever dysregulation was doing its damage: in sleep, in focus, in mood, and in the space between what happens to you and how you respond. We are not treating a list of conditions one at a time. We are helping the brain do the one thing that quietly supports all of them.
What the research says
Neurofeedback is not new. It has been studied since the 1960s and now rests on a substantial body of peer-reviewed research across anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and sleep, among others. For childhood ADHD in particular, it has been rated at the highest tier of evidentiary support by the professional review body that evaluates such interventions. It is recognized as a legitimate clinical approach, and it is considered safe for children, adolescents, and adults alike. None of this makes it a cure-all, and we will always tell you plainly where it is likely to help and where it is not.

Restoration, not just relief
It would be easy to describe neurofeedback in purely mechanical terms, and much of it is mechanical. But we do this work from a particular conviction about the people in front of us. We believe you were fearfully and wonderfully made, and that the capacity to heal was written into you by the One who made you. Neurofeedback does not manufacture that capacity. It clears some of what has been interfering with it.
We are not manufacturing something new.
We are clearing the way for what God already built into you.
That is why relief, on its own, is not the whole goal. A quieter mind and steadier sleep are good gifts, and we are glad when they come. But they are meant to serve something larger: a life more fully restored, more free to love and work and worship as you were made to. Neurofeedback is one tool in that restoration. It sits alongside counseling, spiritual care, and the ordinary means of grace, and it never stands in their place.
How to begin
Every path begins the same way, with a free, twenty-minute conversation with our Care Coordinator. There is no pressure and no obligation.
The first conversation
A free 20-minute conversation with our Care Coordinator. No pressure and no obligation, just a chance to tell us what you're dealing with and ask whatever you'd like.
Your assessment
A careful reading of how your brain is working now. It's a map, not a diagnosis, and it's what lets us shape the training to you rather than to a general profile.
A plan built around you
Personalized training, adjusted as your brain responds, with the first changes often showing up early in sleep, mood, or focus.
As for cost, we would rather talk about it honestly than post a single number that fits no one. Fees depend on the length and shape of your plan, and our Care Coordinator will walk you through all of it plainly when you reach out.

Frequently asked questions
Is neurofeedback safe? Does it hurt?
Yes, it's safe, and no, it doesn't hurt. Nothing is put into the brain — no current, no shock, no medication. The sensors only read the activity that's already there, and most people find sessions relaxing. A few notice mild, temporary tiredness or irritability in the first sessions as the brain adjusts; this usually settles within the first few visits. Neurofeedback is considered safe for children, adolescents, and adults.
What do I actually do during a session?
Very little, and that's the point. You relax, usually watching a film or listening to music, while the sensors read your brain's activity. There's no task to perform and nothing to concentrate on. The learning happens beneath conscious effort. A session generally runs about an hour, and most people find it restful.
Is there an assessment, and when does it happen?
Often we'll begin with a session or two of foundational training, which tends to be helpful for just about anyone before we do a full assessment. When it's time to go deeper, the assessment is a careful reading of how your brain is working. Think of it as a map rather than a diagnosis — it isn't there to label you, only to show us where activity is well regulated and where it's straining. That's what lets us build a plan shaped to your brain instead of a general profile, and adjust it as you go.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on you. A typical plan runs somewhere between twenty and forty sessions, usually two or three times a week, though longstanding or more complex concerns can take longer. Many people notice the first changes well before the plan is complete. The reading we take at the start gives us a clearer estimate for your situation.
Will neurofeedback interfere with my medication?
No. Neurofeedback adds nothing chemical and is designed to work alongside the care you're already receiving. As regulation improves, some people and their prescribers do choose to revisit medication, but any change is a decision between you and your prescribing physician, never something we direct. We coordinate with your medical and mental-health care; we don't replace it.
How long do the results last?
Because the change is learned rather than imposed, the improvements tend to be lasting, much like a skill you don't forget once you've learned it. For some people, occasional maintenance sessions are helpful down the road; for many, the gains simply hold.
How much does neurofeedback cost?
Fees depend on the length and shape of your plan, so rather than post a single number that fits no one, we discuss cost openly. Our Care Coordinator will walk you through it when you reach out for your free conversation.
Your brain is not stuck. There is help, and there is hope.
One conversation. Twenty minutes. A clear next step.
