- AD(H)D In my practice I am able to use both play therapyand psychotherapy to address the emotional and family issues that often plague the child and family dealing with attentional issues as well as neurotherapy which can correct the underlying brainwave inefficiencies, permanently.
Neurotherapy is an extremely efficient and safe method for treatment of ADD, ADHD or other Learning Disorders. There are many different types of AD(H)D and they each have their own definitive brainwave patterns. With the precision that the sophisticated equipment that is used, precise targeting of specific brainwaves for each type of AD(H)D is possible thus tailoring the treatment to style of the child. Learning Disorders , such as dyslexia , also show brainwave deficiencies that can be corrected with neurotherapy.

- Defiance and The Conduct Disorders Of Children
Neurotherapy may help in such conditions if the child (or parent!) is facing some neurological inefficiency, such as an attention or a stress tolerance deficiency.
Recognizing that family/parenting issues are always critical, there are neurological conditions that are associated with behavior problems in children. Oppositional and Defiance Disorders (ODD) are usually associated with problems in the frontal regions of the brain, and often a deficiency in the back of the brain as well. The problem in the front of the brain can be thought of as the brain not being efficient in acquiring or accessing social skills. Also, we often find an imbalance in the frontal cortex that is associated with impulse control problems. Correcting these inefficiencies with neurotherapy in conjunction with strengthening parental skills can make a marked improvement in the child’s behavior.
- Autism
- In our approach to children on the autistic spectrum we use neurotherapy as an adjunct to play therapy. Some ASD children have a considerable excess of brainwave amplitude over the entire brain. Reduction of that excess can be very effective in the treatment of these children. However, there are many locations that must be avoided or calmed during treatment to prevent the exacerbation of the autistic behaviors while other brain areas are being treated. This is a very difficult disorder to treat, however, by systematic and sensitive treatment in conjunction with the child’s other treatment providers the neurotherapist can help the child learn how to filter overwhelming stimuli and calm excessive brain wave production while maintaining appropriate focus on tasks and learn social skills.
- Since I am both an experienced child and family therapist as well as a neurotherapist I am able to sensitively handle family coping issues as well as to liaison with schools or other professionals who may be working with the child or parents.
