Services
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
REBT is a problem-solving therapy that addresses self-defeating thought patterns through active-directive techniques. This evidence-based approach helps patients develop cognitive skills to manage emotional distress and improve interpersonal relationships. Our practice has specialized in REBT since 1981, making it the foundation of our therapeutic interventions.
Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback uses real-time brain activity monitoring to train patients in self-regulating neural patterns. This non-invasive treatment addresses conditions like anxiety, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury through personalized training protocols. We've integrated neurotherapy since 1998 as a complementary approach to traditional psychological treatment.
Psychological Testing
Our comprehensive testing services include personality evaluations, intellectual assessments, and computerized cognitive screening. These objective measures identify strengths and challenges related to memory, attention, and emotional regulation. Testing informs personalized treatment plans and tracks progress over time through quantitative metrics.
Child Counseling
We provide specialized care for children aged five through 18 addressing behavioral issues, learning disabilities, and emotional regulation challenges. Treatment combines parent coaching with targeted interventions to improve academic performance and social functioning without relying on medication as a first resort.
Brain Mapping
Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) brain mapping identifies connectivity issues through advanced neuroimaging technology. This diagnostic tool helps create targeted neurofeedback protocols for conditions like migraines, PTSD, and stroke recovery. The non-invasive procedure provides baseline data for tracking treatment effectiveness over time.
