You may have an image of a clinician in a white lab coat ready to tweak your brain, but fear not, our staff is extremely personable and easygoing. People seek our neurofeedback treatment services for a variety of reasons, and the type of equipment and software varies somewhat depending on the objective of the session. So you may get a better feel for the environment, we've assembled (with the generous permission of the parents) a cross-section of a typical night at our Schaumburg location.

Regular sessions help Austin keep things in check, and homework isn't an issue anymore. He's also on a casein and gluten restricted diet to help with related issues. This is a good example of a multi-modal approach by parents who combine treatment options for greater results.
Josh, a 5th grader and sports fanatic who can recite stats most adults wouldn't know plays a Smartbrain™ game. Making a connection is what it's all about. Before coming for biofeedback treatment, Josh was depressed and struggling in school. After brain-mapping confirmed the existence of ADD, he began coming twice a week and supplements his sessions with talk therapy.

At first, Patrick was suffering from a bad depression. Now he regulates his own brain waves to help himself. After several different medications which they were unable to regulate, his doctors found one that seemed to agree with him. About the same time, he began coming to Dr. O'Donnell for a biofeedback program.
As you can see, here's another multi-modal approach that works. Treatment need not be an either/or situation in every case, and this is a nice example of how the two can work together for the benefit of the client.
Our service area includes Northwest Suburban and Chicago Northshore, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Glenview and Northbrook in Cook County, IL.

The biggest thing that blew me away with the brain map was in a year of doing feedback the hot spots cleared up! AMAZING things happened and we tell everyone how beneficial feedback is.
