A New Way to Treat/Manage ADD & ADHD
ADHD/ADD affect far more than attention. They can impact learning, productivity, emotional regulation, confidence, and daily functioning for both children and adults.
At Brain Resource Center, we provide personalized, neuroscience-based care. Our approach focuses on understanding how each individual brain functions — then using that information to guide targeted training and treatment.
Led by a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ of experience, our clinic specializes in neurofeedback and qEEG brain mapping designed to support lasting improvements in focus, regulation, and cognitive performance.
Neurofeedback for ADHD/ADD
In adults and children with ADHD/ADD, there are characteristic differences in brain activity. Most notably, there is weaker functioning in the prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain that is responsible for regulating attention, behavior, emotion, and behavioral inhibition. Pharmaceutical drugs work by stimulating this and other regions of the brain, but they often have other system-wide adverse effects and are only effective as long as you are taking the drug.
Neurofeedback therapy offers a groundbreaking alternative. Unlike medication, neurofeedback selectively targets and strengthens the prefrontal cortex, leading to physiological changes in brain activity and functioning.
A growing body of research validates what we have seen with hundreds of clients at Brain Resource Center, that neurofeedback therapy can have immediate and long-term benefits for those with ADD & ADHD.

ADHD/ADD Treatment for Adolescents
ADD/ADHD can have serious effects on children’s social, emotional, and educational development, especially if it is left untreated. An early ADD/ADHD diagnosis and early intervention can help parents, teachers, and care-takers ensure that every child receives the support and accommodations they need to improve self-regulation, self-esteem, and integration into social and academic environments.
Children with ADHD often struggle with:
Classroom focus
Behavioral regulation
Homework completion
Social confidence
Emotional control
Our child and adolescent programs focus on helping the brain strengthen attention, self-regulation, and learning readiness in a supportive and structured environment. We work with parents to monitor progress and help reinforce skills outside of sessions.
How does Neurofeedback work?
-
1. Brain map
Brainwave assessment identifies imbalances and helps to create a personalized treatment plan.
-
2. Treatment setup
Non-invasive sensors and headphones are placed on your head and the treatment session begins.
-
3. Brain activation
Software translates your brainwave data and stops or starts audio/visual media based on your brain activity.
-
4. Conditioning
In response to the audio/visual feedback, your brain adapts and learns to regulate your brainwaves and build new, healthy neural pathways.
-
5. Brain Training
Over time with continuous brain training, healthy brain activity in target regions increases, and symptom-associated activity decreases.
