A Natural Treatment for Anxiety
Stress is a normal part of the human experience, however for some the anxiety is constant. In these individuals very often the brain has been trained to stay in a constant level of arousal.
When we look at the brain of an individual that is dealing with anxiety we often see an over active area of the brain called the cortex. The cortex is the area of the brain that deals with us having conscious thoughts. When this part of the brain becomes overactive we get 1 thought that leads to 10 that lead to 100 and we get overwhelmed and anxious.

Neurofeedback as an Anxiety Treatment
Neurofeedback, also called biofeedback or neurofeedback, is one of the quickest and most efficient ways to teach people how to help themselves. Brain retraining has been used for many years with solid, proven results. Learning this life skill decreases the need for dependence upon medications, and improves the quality of life by teaching the brain to make healthier patterns on a more consistent basis so anxiety responses are avoided and a calmer brain stays in control more often.
We have helped hundreds of clients end the racing thoughts and the emotional roller coaster of anxiety and get their life back.
Once initial information has been gathered from nineteen specific sites on the head, neurofeedback can be used to track brain wave activity, and train the brain to operate more efficiently by providing visual and auditory feedback to the client as their brain wave patterns improve and self-regulation occurs.
The retraining of the brain is accomplished by experiencing visual stimulation that darkens and lightens as brainwave patterns change. By adjusting the brightness with the brain waves, you retrain and engage the brain. Over the course of the treatments, neurofeedback creates permanent positive changes.

Anxiety Treatment Timeline
For informational purposes only. Individual anxiety treatment plans may vary.
Initial Anxiety Treatment Consultation
We meet and discuss your or your child’s case details and suggest a tailored anxiety treatment plan specific to your scenario.
Testing and First Treatment
In the first anxiety treatment session we test the brainwave patterns using a sophisticated EEG equipment and establish a baseline. Imbalances are recorded and a specific course of at home anxiety treatment is established. Patient receives neurofeedback equipment to take home in order to proceed with anxiety treatments from the comfort of their own home which saves both time and costs from a more traditional strictly in-clinic approach.

In Home Neurofeedback Training
Patients conduct in home neurofeedback training with equipment proved by St. Louis Neurotherapy Institute 4-5 times per week. It takes approximately 40 minutes to conduct the neurofeedback training for best results.
Final Review and Retest
This in-clinic session will retest the new brainwave patterns to confirm anxiety treatment effectiveness. Most clients will already see the results first hand in changes prior to the retest.
