Improving Mental Health with a Comprehensive Approach: Combining CBT and Neurofeedback

Idaho Counseling & Neurofeedback is a mental health practice that offers a unique approach to therapy by combining Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with Neurofeedback. This innovative approach has proven to be highly effective in helping clients overcome a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and more.

What is Cognitive Behavior Therapy?

CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health problems. The goal of CBT is to help clients develop healthier thinking and coping skills to manage their emotions and improve their overall quality of life.

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that uses advanced brain-monitoring technology to train clients to regulate their brainwave activity. This therapy helps clients gain control over their brain function and reduce symptoms associated with mental health issues. During a neurofeedback session, clients wear sensors on their scalp, and their brain activity is displayed on a computer screen. This visual feedback allows clients to see how their thoughts and behaviors impact their brainwaves and learn to regulate them.

The combination of these two therapies allows clients to address the root causes of their mental health issues while learning to regulate their brain function.
