Discover the Benefits of Neurofeedback for Concussion Recovery

If you’ve experienced a concussion or are dealing with persistent brain fog, fatigue, or mood changes, you're not alone. These symptoms are common after mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). For many adults, these issues can linger for months or even years.

As a licensed therapist and neurofeedback provider, I've worked with clients such as athletes, first responders, and veterans. Many of them have struggled to fully bounce back from their injuries. That's why a new study from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is exciting news for those affected by concussion symptoms. The VA study on neurofeedback for concussion showed promising results in a 2025 publication, and the same neurofeedback training is available here in Huntington Beach.

VA Research: Neurofeedback a Game-Changer for Post-Concussion Recovery

In a 2025 study published in Brain Stimulation, VA researchers investigated how individualized neurofeedback could relieve post-concussion symptoms.

Participants trained their brains using real-time EEG feedback tailored to their specific needs. The result?

Those receiving personalized neurofeedback training showed significantly more improvement than those following a standard protocol. Overall, participants reported feeling less foggy, less anxious, and more focused.

What Is Neurofeedback, Exactly?

Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive brain training method that involves using EEG sensors to monitor brainwaves in real time. When your brain produces healthier patterns, the system provides positive feedback, helping your nervous system learn how to self-regulate.

This form of training is commonly used to support various issues, including:

• Post-concussion recovery

• Anxiety and stress

• Sleep disturbances

• ADHD or focus challenges

• Trauma and burnout

  
  

Unlike medication, neurofeedback promotes long-term brain resilience, providing a natural approach to healing.

Why This Matters for You

Many of my clients come in expressing concerns such as:

• “I just don’t feel sharp anymore.”

• “I’m exhausted but can’t sleep.”

• “I used to manage stress fine—now I snap or shut down.”

  
  

If any of this sounds familiar, neurofeedback may offer the reset your brain needs. It addresses emotional and cognitive challenges, allowing you to reclaim your mental clarity.

My Approach

At my practice, I offer:

• Evidence-based neurofeedback protocols that are tailored to individual needs.

• Trauma-informed therapy for holistic and integrated healing.

• A quiet, private setting that facilitates deep nervous system recovery.

  
  

You don’t need to navigate this journey alone. Whether you’re an athlete, first responder, veteran, or an overwhelmed professional, we can work together to support your brain’s natural healing capacity.
