neurofeedback

At Rochester Therapy Center, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to live with anxiety, ADHD, depression, or chronic stress. Sometimes, traditional talk therapy alone isn’t enough to bring the relief you’re seeking. That’s where neurofeedback therapy comes in—a science-backed, non-invasive approach that helps regulate your brain’s activity and unlock your potential for mental clarity, calm, and focus.

Whether you’re struggling with emotional reactivity, sleep issues, or attention problems, neurofeedback therapy in Rochester, Minnesota could be a powerful addition to your wellness journey.

What Is Neurofeedback Therapy?

Neurofeedback (also known as EEG biofeedback) is a form of brain training that helps your brain learn to self-regulate by giving it real-time feedback about its electrical activity. Using sensors placed on the scalp, a computer system monitors your brainwaves and provides gentle visual or audio cues that encourage healthier patterns.

Think of it like a mirror for your brain. Over time, this training helps reinforce more balanced brain activity—which can improve emotional regulation, attention, sleep, and overall mental performance.

What Can Neurofeedback Help With?

Neurofeedback therapy has been shown to support a wide range of mental health and neurological conditions. At Rochester Therapy Center, our experienced neurofeedback practitioners use it as part of personalized treatment plans for:

How Does Neurofeedback Work?

Neurofeedback begins with a brain map—a painless, non-invasive recording of your brain’s electrical activity, called a qEEG (quantitative EEG). This helps us identify areas of the brain that may be overactive, underactive, or dysregulated.

During your neurofeedback sessions:

Sensors are gently placed on your scalp to monitor brainwave activity (nothing is inserted or painful).
You’ll watch a video or listen to music, and the neurofeedback system provides subtle changes in sound or image based on how your brain is functioning.
Your brain begins to associate certain patterns with positive outcomes (clearer video or sound), learning to “rewire” itself toward greater balance.

Over time—and with consistent sessions—clients typically begin to notice improvements in focus, calmness, mood stability, and mental sharpness.

Is Neurofeedback Safe?

Yes! Neurofeedback is safe, non-invasive, and drug-free. It doesn’t force your brain to do anything—it simply provides information. Your brain does the work, learning and adapting naturally. It’s suitable for both children and adults and has decades of research backing its effectiveness.
