She trained in clinical mental illness, psychophysiology, biofeedback, and neurofeedback at the Behavioral Physiology Institutes. She also received training in both biofeedback and neurofeedback at the Biofeedback Institute of San Francisco. Most recently she continued her training in neurofeedback at the EEG Institute in southern California and is listed in the EEG Institute's directory of neurofeedback practitioners.
Meet the Practitioners Michael Newman, LCSW , began his professional career as a counselor on a multi-disciplinary chronic pain management team Josh Wattenbarger. Neurofeedback is training your brain to self-regulate. Good self-regulation is necessary for optimal brain function. Self-regulation enhances the function of the central nervous system and thereby improves mental performance, emotional control, and physiological stability. Neurofeedback is done by placing sensors on the head.
The brain waves are measured and recorded. A computer processes the brain waves. Then this information creates the feedback. Neurofeedback is used to alleviate attention problems, anxiety, and depression. It is useful to help in the recovery of traumatic brain injury. Improvement is usually noticed within the first five sessions. The advantages of LENS is that results are produced faster than with traditional neurofeedback, it can be used with very young children, and with individuals who are have low motivation, and impulse control.
It is important for anyone doing Neurofeedback training to let their physicians know because medications may not be needed or may have to be lowered due to better brain functioning.

The electroencephalogram EEG is another name for the brain wave recordings and, in this context, biofeedback refers to the process by which you learn to change your brainwaves and hence change your control of brain states.
How can Neurofeedback help? Neurofeedback training improves attention, cognitive abilities, and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback can help to reduce or eliminate a number of common symptoms such as anxiety, stress reactions, depression, sleep problems, headaches, migraines, and emotional distress. Neurofeedback can also help relieve a variety of conditions such as mood swings, PMS, and organic brain disorders including seizures, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.
Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. Good self-regulation is necessary for optimal brain function. Self-regulation training enhances the function of the central nervous system and thereby improves mental performance, emotional control and physiological stability.
Does Neurofeedback cure symptoms or conditions? In the case of organic brain disorders, it is just a matter of getting the brain to function better rather than curing the condition. In the case of disregulation there really is no disease to be cured. Where disregulation is the primary issue, self-regulation is likely the remedy. But the term cure again would not apply.
