Neurofeedback
Gentle brain training for anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and nervous system regulation.
Restore Balance with Neurofeedback
If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or sleep issues, you’re not alone. Many of our clients come to us feeling stuck in stress responses that don’t match their current lives. Neurofeedback offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support your brain and nervous system regulation in finding balance again. As part of our Colorado neurofeedback services, we support individuals seeking both emotional relief and cognitive resilience.
“Neurofeedback helps individuals tap into their brain’s innate capacity to self-regulate and heal.”
~ Siegfried Othmer
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a science-backed method that helps retrain your brain to regulate itself more effectively. By measuring your brain’s electrical activity (EEG) and providing real-time feedback, this approach encourages the brain to shift out of stuck patterns and into more flexible, regulated states.
At The Catalyst Center, we use the NeurOptimal® neurofeedback system—a dynamical neurofeedback approach. NeurOptimal® does not require diagnosis or targeting specific brainwave patterns. Instead, it provides feedback that allows the brain to recognize inefficient patterns and shift organically toward more optimal functioning.
Neurofeedback can support a wide range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety and panic
- PTSD and trauma symptoms
- ADHD and attention challenges
- Sleep difficulties and fatigue
- Mood dysregulation
- Performance blocks (academic, athletic, creative)
Unlike medication, neurofeedback doesn’t introduce anything into the body. It teaches your brain to self-correct—improving resilience, focus, and calm from the inside out.
How Neurofeedback Works
What to Expect in a Session
During a session, you’ll sit comfortably with sensors placed on your scalp while listening to music. The NeurOptimal® system monitors brainwave activity in real time and provides subtle interruptions in the audio whenever the system detects turbulence. These micro-signals invite the brain to shift toward greater efficiency and stability.
Neurofeedback is safe, gentle, and suitable for adults, teens, and children. Many clients begin to notice shifts in emotional regulation, attention, and sleep within just a few sessions.
Flexible Options to Fit Your Needs
We offer multiple options to fit your needs:
- In-office neurofeedback sessions (standalone or integrated with therapy)
- Neurofeedback before or after EMDR or Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to support nervous system regulation
- Take-home neurofeedback rentals for clients who prefer training from home
This flexibility allows us to tailor neurofeedback to your lifestyle, goals, and healing journey. Our commitment to whole-system care makes us a trusted provider of Colorado neurofeedback.
Who Can Benefit from Neurofeedback and Nervous System Regulation?
Neurofeedback can be especially helpful for those who:
- Feel overwhelmed, anxious, or reactive
- Are in trauma recovery and need support for nervous system regulation
- Want non-medication options for ADHD, anxiety, or sleep issues
- Have tried talk therapy and want a body-brain connection approach
- Prefer a gentle, client-led healing process
Because NeurOptimal® is a dynamical system, it doesn’t push or direct your brain in a specific way. This makes it ideal for individuals who are sensitive to overstimulation, have experienced trauma, or are seeking a gentle, non-invasive approach—it supports the brain without forcing change.
Our Experience with Neurofeedback
Our team includes certified NeurOptimal® trainers who are deeply experienced in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Clients often integrate neurofeedback into a broader treatment plan to enhance emotional resilience and regulation.
Neurofeedback can be a powerful standalone tool, or it can complement other therapies such as EMDR, talk therapy, or KAP. Many clients use it before or after sessions to enhance regulation and integration. We also offer flexible take-home rentals, making neurofeedback in Colorado it more accessible to clients statewide.
Common Questions about Neurofeedback
What Neurofeedback Can Help With?
Because it supports whole-system regulation, clients often experience improvements in:
- PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression
- Sleep, fatigue, and chronic stress
- Focus, concentration, and performance
- Emotional reactivity and mood swings
- Cognitive clarity and age-related brain health
It also supports general wellness and complements other treatments such as therapy, medication, supplements, and lifestyle practices.
What is a Neurofeedback Session actually like?
Your neurofeedback journey starts with a personalized consultation. One of our trained providers will meet with you to understand your goals and hopes—whether that’s improved sleep, emotional balance, or support with trauma recovery.
During your session:
– You’ll relax in a quiet, comfortable space while sensors are placed on your scalp.
– The system tracks brain activity and offers real-time feedback via momentary audio interruptions.
– You simply listen to music and allow your brain to adjust—there’s no task or effort involved.
Sessions last about 45 minutes. Many clients report feeling more centered, calm, or mentally clear even after the first few sessions. Because NeurOptimal® mirrors the brain’s natural rhythms, side effects are rare.
Why Chose NeurOptimal® for your Neurofeedback System?
After extensively researching multiple neurofeedback systems, we chose NeurOptimal® because:
– It adapts to your brain, rather than forcing change. Older systems tried to “fix” brainwaves and sometimes caused unintended effects. NeurOptimal® offers real-time feedback that allows the brain to adjust organically.
– It’s gentle, safe, and non-invasive. It doesn’t override your system—it simply mirrors it, allowing self-correction.
– It’s effortless for clients. Just relax and listen to music—your brain does the work. This ease of use is ideal for all ages and supports long-term integration.
