What to Expect in Your Training Journey

I understand that documentation is a critical component of court-recommended therapies. For clients requiring proof of attendance and engagement for legal proceedings:

Initial Brain Mapping

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to look at your unique brainwave patterns and identify the areas that need balancing.

Real-Time Training

During sessions, comfortable sensors read your brain's activity while you watch a movie or listen to music. The screen responds to your brainwaves, rewarding your brain when it enters a calm, focused state.

Lasting Neural Changes

Through consistent practice, your brain naturally builds new, healthier neural pathways, leading to long-term emotional and cognitive stability.

FAQ

Child and Adolescent Therapy

How long does a typical play therapy session last?

A standard session lasts for 50 minutes. The remaining 10 minutes of the therapeutic hour are dedicated to my clinical note-taking, room resetting, and brief administrative updates with you.

How do I know what my child is doing in therapy if the sessions are private?

To build a strong foundation of trust, your child needs to know the playroom is a private space. I do not share specific details of everything your child says or plays with. Instead, I share the themes of their play, their emotional progress, and actionable strategies you can use at home. If a safety concern ever arises, you will be notified immediately.

Can you provide an assessment or report for my family court case?

No. My role as a child therapist is strictly therapeutic, to provide a safe, neutral space for your child to heal away from parental conflict. To protect the integrity of the therapeutic bond and ensure your child feels safe expressing themselves, I do not conduct custody assessments or provide recommendations for court litigation.

How long will it take before I see changes in my child’s behaviour?

Play therapy is a process that depends entirely on your child's unique history and developmental needs. Some children show positive shifts within 8 to 12 sessions, while children healing from deeper trauma or navigating ongoing high-conflict family transitions may require longer, sustained support. Consistency is the key to lasting change.

How Does Neurofeedback Training Work?

FAQ

Neurofeedback

What is NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Brain Training?

NeurOptimal® is an advanced, non-invasive brain training system that provides your brain with real-time information about its own activity. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, it does not require a diagnosis, brain mapping (qEEG), or individualized protocols. During a session, NeurOptimal® simply reflects information back to your brain, allowing it to recognize its own patterns and naturally support self-regulation, flexibility, and resilience over time.

What happens during a NeurOptimal® session?

A typical session lasts about 33 minutes. Small sensors are gently placed on your scalp and ears to monitor your brain's electrical activity—nothing is sent into your brain. While you relax, listen to music, or watch a movie, the system detects changes in brain activity and briefly pauses the audio to provide your brain with real-time feedback. There is no effort required on your part; you simply sit comfortably while the system works in the background.

Can I combine NeurOptimal® Brain Training with psychotherapy?

This would let you explain how brain training and psychotherapy can complement one another while avoiding unsupported claims about treatment outcomes. It's a valuable distinction that many visitors are likely to appreciate.

Is NeurOptimal® Brain Training covered by extended health insurance?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Some insurers may reimburse sessions provided by a Registered Psychotherapist when they are part of psychotherapy services, while stand-alone brain training sessions may not be covered. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage and reimbursement eligibility before booking.

Non-Invasive, Evidence-Based Training for a Balanced Mind

Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive, and scientifically proven therapy that measures and trains your brainwave patterns in real-time. Just like physical exercise strengthens your body, neurofeedback trains your brain to function more efficiently.

Using advanced technology, this process helps your central nervous system transition out of exhausting, survival-driven patterns (like chronic fight-or-flight) and guides it toward a state of calm, flexibility, and lasting resilience.
