Can’t find what you’re looking for?
We do not. We can offer you a superbill for counseling sessions.
All of our 50-minute sessions are $185. Our Neurotherapy intake package consists of three appointments that are $700 in total (QEEG assessment, intake history session, and QEEG review/treatment planning session).
We are trained in many modalities of Neurofeedback, Amplitude, Z score, Loreta, etc., but we mostly use amplitude training. We also use several modalities of neurostimulation. pEMF, TDCS, TACS, and TPNS.
Yep. Many of our clients take medication while they are doing neurotherapy. However, as you progress with Neurotherapy, you and your doctor may need to discuss changing the amount of medication you take.
A typical treatment plan for Neurotherapy is 40 sessions completed 2-3 times a week. The high frequency is important for learning and for the entrainment to show lasting change in the brain. It is like training for a sporting event: if I run 45 minutes every other week, I will never get in shape for a marathon.
There is a lot of variability in the number of sessions if we include talk therapy with neurostimulation.
Many neurotherapy clinics leave you in a room on your own while the EEG machine casts your brainwaves on a screen. We believe all therapies should be in the context of a relationship - so you’ll have a counselor with you the whole time. This will help you integrate your experience with the information on the screen, allowing you to receive maximum benefit from each session as you learn to regulate your moods, stress, and specific neural activity.
In each session, we place a cap or individual electrodes on your head that sense brain activity.
Neurofeedback, neurotherapy, and neurostimulation have all been proven to be safe for children and adults. The process is non-invasive, comfortable, and requires no medication. There are no contra-indications for medications and neurotherapy treatments, though clients who have had a recent head injury, who experience seizures, or certain other medical conditions should consult with their doctor and inform their counselors.
See these studies for reference: Efficacy and safety, safety of repeated sessions.
Neurotherapies including neurofeedback and neurostimulation have shown promising results in various studies for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. While research is ongoing, here are some resource links highlighting its efficacy:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and neurofeedback are both therapeutic approaches used to address various mental health conditions, but they differ in their methodologies and focuses. EMDR is a psychotherapy technique using primarily eye movement to stimulate bilateral brain activity and help the brain reprocess emotional trauma.
Neurofeedback focuses on training individuals to self-regulate their brainwave activity by monitoring brainwave patterns. Typically, sensors are placed on the scalp, and real-time feedback is given to the subject through visual or auditory cues. Repeated sessions produce healthier patterns of brain activity, improving attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive function.
As a practice, we work with kids starting at age 7 and see clients all the way through adulthood. We offer many modalities of therapy including, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and play therapy to highlight a few. We also integrate neurostimulation with counseling for many of our clients.
Everyone has a textured, complex story, with old threads from the past still coloring every present moment. No matter your reason for seeking therapy, we’re here to deeply listen and understand your thoughts and perspectives so we can work together toward the future you’ve always wanted.
You will meet with your therapist to imagine what you want your life to look and feel like in the future. Then, you’ll explore the tapestry of your past and see how it impacts your experience of life today. You and your counselor will decide the best way to unravel the impact of the past and create a path toward the future you want. This process is relational and we’ll make sure you are seen, heard, and deeply known by your counselor and yourself.
It’s normal to want to know how long your treatment plan will last, but the duration varies for each individual. With counseling, it takes time to find the root patterns and past experiences informing your daily wellbeing. Everyone is different, and we can say that you already have the courage you need to make the whole journey when you choose to start your first session. Your counselor will be with you through it all, prompting growth and inviting healing.
Yes and no. We can definitely do neurostimulation and counseling at the same time. When doing neurofeedback, you are not able to talk or move much while training because the muscle movement impacts the EEG. That said, we pause the training often during the session and check in and often engage in some amounts of counseling.
Blending counseling and neurotherapy creates a unique and powerful approach to therapy, setting us apart at our clinic in Denver. While counseling helps individuals understand their struggles and develop new coping strategies, neurostimulation actively supports this process by encouraging the brain to create different patterns of activity in real time. By simultaneously addressing both the psychological and neurological aspects of healing, clients experience increased freedom, clarity, and relaxation.
For example, neurostimulation can enhance the effectiveness of techniques like EMDR by promoting a calm state, enabling clients to tolerate intense emotions more easily. Similarly, for individuals battling depression, neurostimulation can provide an energy boost, making it easier to engage in therapeutic work and create positive changes in thinking patterns.
In our sessions, you can expect to sit comfortably while electrodes are placed on your scalp. The electrodes will administer mild electrical stimulation. Depending on the focus of the session—whether it's to support therapeutic processes or to actively change brain function—the frequency of visits and duration of treatment may vary. For clients receiving neurostimulation alongside counseling, sessions typically range from 1-2 times per week, with no fixed number of sessions. However, for those undergoing focused neurostimulation therapy, the standard recommendation is 2-4 sessions per week for approximately 40 sessions.
Ultimately, our goal is the same whether you integrate both services or stick with one: we’ll provide a warm and supportive environment where you can experience transformative healing at both the emotional and neurological levels.
