Assess

The choices of assesment measures is typically decided in an initial diagnostic interview.  This enables us to select out the most likely tests, and symptom checklists to adequately document and differentially diagnose. Lastly, a quantitative electro-encephlagram (qEEG) is given.  The qEEG  enables us to identify the unique neurological contributions to your struggles.

Plan

If the assessment identifies the presence of a disorder, you will receive a referral to a physician.  Regardless of severity, the qEEG can be used to identify areas of the brain that can be a target of neurotherapy  With your agreement, the physician may receive a copy of the qEEG and psychological testing report as well.

Practice

Once the planning stage is complete, biofeedback, neurotherapy/ neurofeedback and psychotherapy will commence.  Often this will begin with breath and heart rate training known as HRV.  Another training is also common among individuals with anger problems is Sensory Motor Rhythm (SMR) training.  Other forms of neurotherapy may be used to improve regional and network neurological functioning.  Lastly, more traditional forms of psychotherapy may be provided to address emotional and behavioral challenges experienced by those with anger problems.
