Waking Up the "Idling" Brain

Often, depression is a biological state. Many individuals suffer from Left-Frontal Alpha Asymmetry. Research shows that when the left side of the brain (responsible for positive emotion and motivation) is "idling" with excessive Alpha waves, it becomes very difficult to "logic" your way into a better mood.

Top-Down: Processing & Strategy

Counseling helps navigate emotions and build life systems that support recovery.

Bottom-Up: Biological Activation Optional Booster

Neurofeedback helps "wake up" the left prefrontal cortex, reducing the biological heaviness so talk therapy can be more effective.

Alpha Asymmetry Brain Map for Depression

Data-Driven Depression Care

By mapping your brain via the 10-20 international system, we can move past subjective surveys. If we see a "Low-Arousal" pattern, we can customize your treatment to focus on activation rather than just "managing" the mood.

This objective data provides a roadmap for our therapists, ensuring your clinical counseling is targeted for maximum relief.
