Psychotherapy, otherwise known as talk therapy, involves patient-focused communication to understand one’s mood, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps individuals learn how to take control of their life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.
At Complete Mind Care of PA, our skilled psychotherapists consist of psychologists (PsyD), licensed clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC), and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT). Our providers utilize a variety of evidence-based methods to assist patients in understanding their diagnosis and identifying healthy coping skills. These strategies practiced during sessions can help manage and overcome negative feelings.
Our collaborative team ensures you have access to the right therapeutic approach for your unique needs. Depending on your specific diagnosis, psychotherapy alone may not be enough to ease symptoms of a mental health condition. Therefore, our providers can refer patients for additional service lines—including medication management, Deep TMS, SPRAVATO®, or Neurofeedback—to better ensure optimal care.
ADD and ADHD are not two separate disorders — they’re different presentations of the same condition.
Predominantly Inattentive (formerly ADD): Difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, trouble organizing, losing track of tasks
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive: Fidgeting, excessive talking, restlessness, acting without thinking
Combined Presentation: Symptoms from both categories — the most commonly diagnosed type
One Treatment for All Three: Neurofeedback addresses the brainwave dysregulation common to every ADD/ADHD presentation
Neurofeedback — also called EEG biofeedback — is brain training that uses real-time monitoring of electrical brain activity to teach self-regulation.
Individuals with ADD/ADHD show elevated theta-wave activity (drowsiness) and reduced beta-wave activity (focus). This theta/beta imbalance drives distractibility, impulsivity, and difficulty sustaining attention.
Sensors on the scalp read brainwave patterns and display them on-screen. When the brain produces desired frequencies, it’s rewarded. Over repeated sessions, the brain learns healthier electrical patterns on its own.
Through neuroplasticity, the brain forms new connections that support sustained attention, calm, and executive function. Research shows these improvements persist 6–24 months after treatment ends.
The evidence base for neurofeedback in ADD/ADHD continues to grow with peer-reviewed research and clinical endorsements.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes neurofeedback as a Level 1 “Best Support” intervention for ADHD — the same evidence tier as medication.
A Scientific Reports meta-analysis (Zhong et al., 2025) of 17 RCTs with 939 participants found significant improvements in inhibitory control and working memory sustained 6–12 months post-treatment.
Published in Brain and Behavior (Wu et al., 2024), this study confirmed that theta/beta ratio and slow cortical potential training significantly improved ADHD symptoms in children vs. controls.
Comparative research in the Asian Journal of Psychiatry found neurofeedback outperformed both medication and behavioral management for improving learning outcomes and peer relationships.
qEEG brain mapping is FDA-approved as a diagnostic tool for ADD/ADHD, and neurofeedback is FDA-cleared for stress reduction — a key co-occurring concern.
Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive. Sensors only read brain signals — nothing is transmitted. Side effects are limited to temporary fatigue or mild energization.
Psychiatric and neurological assessment to evaluate symptoms, medical history, and determine if neurofeedback fits — alone or with other therapies. We clarify which ADD/ADHD presentation is driving your symptoms.
A quantitative EEG records activity across 19 scalp sites and compares it to age-matched norms. This brain map reveals exactly where dysregulation exists and guides a personalized training protocol.
Each 30–45 minute session uses on-screen visual feedback. Training is painless and medication-free. A typical course runs 20–40 sessions depending on severity and response.
We track brainwave data alongside real-world outcomes — school performance, workplace productivity, emotional regulation. Protocols are refined as your brain responds.
Yes. Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive and safe for all ages. The sensors only record brain activity — they do not transmit electrical current. The most common side effects are temporary fatigue or feeling slightly energized, both resolving within hours.
Most patients complete 20–40 sessions, with initial improvements often noticeable within the first 10. Total number depends on severity, your specific ADD/ADHD presentation, and treatment goals.
For some patients, neurofeedback may reduce or eliminate medication. For others, it works best alongside their current plan. Our psychiatrists collaborate with your neurofeedback clinician to adjust medications safely as brain function improves.
At Complete Mind Care PA, neurofeedback is currently a cash-pay service. Contact our office at 215-607-7250 (Horsham) or 215-918-7939 (Villanova) to discuss pricing and payment options.
Research documents maintained improvements at 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-ups. Because neurofeedback trains the brain through neuroplasticity, changes tend to be durable — much like learning to ride a bike.
Not at all. Approximately 60% of children with ADHD continue to experience symptoms into adulthood. Neurofeedback addresses brainwave dysregulation at any age. Complete Mind Care PA treats patients across all age groups.
We serve patients across Montgomery and Delaware Counties, including the Main Line, Abington, Dresher, and surrounding communities.
