Ep 158: Rewiring the Brain | Neurofeedback for Kids and Teens

from TAKING THE HELM with Lynn McLaughlin · host Lynn McLaughlin

How can non-invasive neurofeedback can help children and adolescents struggling with ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and more. Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and neurofeedback specialist Lisa Cramer explains how brainwave patterns influence focus, behavior, and emotions—and how neurotherapy can gently guide the brain toward healthier, more functional states.Key topics:💥 What happens during a neurofeedback assessment💥 When it should be considered, and why it’s becoming an increasingly trusted option for families💥 Real-life success stories💥 The science of brainwaves and neuroplasticity. What does the research say?💥 How to find a qualified practitioner. 💥 Safety and contraindications parents need to consider💥 Emotional regulation can be brain based💥 Neurofeedback in training, not treatmentOver the past 26 years, Lisa has worked with clients of all ages, supporting them through challenges of emotional dysregulation, trauma, and brain injury. In 2016, Lisa expanded her practice to include neurofeedback, recognizing its transformative impact with complex cases and individuals who felt they had “tried everything.” Since then, she has become a leader in integrative neurotherapy, blending QEEG brain mapping, advanced neurofeedback modalities, psychotherapy, and functional medicine. Lisa is the founder and director of Mind Body Neuro of Illinois and Mind Body Neuro of Colorado. Through these clinics (and virtually), she leads a team of skilled providers dedicated to offering cutting-edge brain-based treatments alongside compassionate, individualized care for all ages.
