Neurocognitive Optimization

We take your brain health seriously. That’s why your treatments are led by board-certified physicians trained by Dr. Daniel Amen, one of the leading researchers and pioneers in the field. Combined with our integrative approach, we personalize your plan to include a focus on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and other key lifestyle factors. Most importantly, your success is driven by cutting-edge technology that allows us to track your progress every step of the way.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that encourages the brain to develop healthier activity patterns. The goal of treatment is not only to change how you think and feel but also to change your brain at a cellular level for better functioning. Neurofeedback has actually been around since the 1950s, but it’s only in the last decade that we’ve been able to use it successfully in the office setting due to advancements in computer technology.

Neurofeedback helps to improve functions such as concentration, short-term memory, speech, motor skills, sleep, energy level, and emotional balance. It has been effectively used to modify anxiety, depression, and addictions and has been found to help stabilize some people with epilepsy. There is evidence that neurofeedback therapy can speed recovery after concussion, and may help damaged, reactive areas of the brain. It can also assist in the treatment of conditions like ADHD. We’ve also seen neurofeedback therapy help athletes and business executives achieve peak performance.

How quickly our patients see results vary based on many factors, including general health, exercise, stress, diet, and the length of time that the condition being addressed has been present. Research shows that improvements can begin within 20 sessions, but long-lasting results can take up to 40 – 60 sessions.

Training is easy! Simply pick your favorite TV show, sit back, and let our technology do its work. During your 30-minute “training” session, our computers analyze your brainwave activity. When activity is in the desired frequencies, the screen and audio are light, bright, and loud. When activity slides into undesired patterns, the screen and audio fade – this response automatically causes you to focus more, which will move your brainwaves back into normal ranges. With repetition of this process over multiple sessions, your brain can learn to stay within healthy ranges on its own without neurofeedback.

You don’t have to make any changes to your medication to safely get started with neurofeedback training. As you progress, you may be able to slowly reduce or eliminate certain medications related to the condition that you are addressing with the guidance of our physicians. Since every person is unique, the decision to reduce medication will be up to your physician.

Some parts of your neurocognitive treatments at VYVE may be covered by your insurance! During your initial consultation, one of our physicians will build a treatment plan best suited for your goals and determine how to maximize your insurance benefits. And because we understand how frustrating it can be when insurance does not cover important treatments for your health, we offer cash payment options, allowing you to receive the outcomes you deserve.
