Expert Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback therapy, offered by Dr. David Helfand Psyd at LifeWise PLLC, is a non-invasive tool to retrain the brain. Similar to physical therapy for the brain, neurofeedback therapy enhances control, flexibility, and resilience. Scientifically proven to assist with various symptoms and medical issues, neurofeedback can now be done remotely from home. It targets issues like executive functioning, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disorders, ADHD, and peak performance. 

An additional modality, NeuroMeditation combines meditation with neurofeedback, optimizing results. Train your brain, boost focus, and awaken higher functioning areas with this innovative therapy.

Advanced Brain Mapping

qEEG Brain Mapping Expert Analysis provides a multipoint inspection of your brain. Think of it like a musical tuner for your brain. A Brain Map (or qEEG) measures brainwaves, revealing areas needing support and those functioning well. This information aids in improving relationships, career goals, and overall life fulfillment. The appointment takes about an hour, with immediate recommendations available after the test, and a full report ready in about four to six weeks. The test monitors brainwaves without sending signals to the brain. 

Play Therapy for Kids: Understanding and Healing Through Play

In child counseling, identifying the root cause of issues is crucial. Child Play Therapy, offered by Anna Helfand LCMHC, child behavioral therapist at LifeWise, focuses on children’s mental and emotional well-being through play. Here’s a concise overview:

Healthy Development: Observing a child’s play reveals insights into their developmental progress. Themes common to specific age groups help assess growth.

Grief Work: Children process loss differently. Providing a safe space for emotional expression aids in healthy coping and future development.

Depression: Play allows children to explore and process emotions indirectly, making it a valuable tool for addressing sadness.

Anxiety: Signs of anxiety emerge in play scenarios. Using play metaphorically helps teach healthier stress management.

Anna Helfand LCMHC, an expert play therapist, combines gentleness with firm support. Her extensive training in family and child counseling ensures a safe and transformative experience for families in Vermont and the surrounding communities.
