Vital Brain Health offers different types of support, each serving a different purpose. Some of the support you may be recommended include:

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback utilizes advanced brain training to optimize your brain’s natural function using real‒time feedback.This can help the different parts of your brain communicate more effectively, which in turn improves focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance. Best of all, no part of this process requires medication.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is aimed at resolving responses in the body related to breathing, heart rate, and muscle responses. This can help teach clients methods to keep their breathing and heart rate steady, which can help prevent panic attacks and other physical anxiety symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Vital Brain Health help with anxiety?

Yes, supporting people with anxiety is one of our primary specialties, particularly women with anxiety disorders who represent our largest adult client group. Our Neurofeedback 3.0 integrated multi-modal approach helps optimize brain networks involved in emotional regulation, stress response, and cognitive control for individuals experiencing anxiety. We provide specialized protocols for various anxiety presentations including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and anxiety-related emotional dysregulation in both children and adults with anxiety.

How can Vital Brain Health help with anxiety?

Our protocols for people with anxiety use neurofeedback to help parts of the brain being overactive, emotional, or exhibiting stress responses learn to be calm and coordinate better with cognitive control areas. Through our visual feedback systems, these brain networks learn to communicate on more balanced frequency channels, developing new nerve connections during sleep that lead to reduced worry, better emotional regulation, and improved stress management in daily life for individuals with anxiety disorders.

How do you identify anxiety disorders?

Using our 19-room mansion model, individuals with anxiety typically experience specific communication patterns: • Emotional processing suite may be stuck on high-alert frequency channels in people with anxiety • Stress response systems might be over-communicating with other brain areas in individuals with anxiety disorders • Cognitive control rooms may struggle to regulate emotional responses in people experiencing anxiety • Executive function areas might have difficulty overriding anxious thoughts in individuals with anxiety
