Lourdes is a Neurofeedback Provider Specializing in the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS).
LENS treatments are ONLY in-person:
What is LENS Neurofeedback?
The Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) is an EEG based, direct neurofeedback system that challenges the brain to greater efficiency and effectiveness to achieve optimal performance. Neuroscientists believe that the brain’s defenses against stressors and trauma can create a “neural gridlock.” LENS works around these blockages. Addressing the brain in its own electromagnetic language, LENS allows the brain to “reboot,” restoring optimal functioning.
Who Can LENS Therapy Help?
Congratulations for prioritizing your mental health and “Dare 2B Curious” about Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) therapy. I am super excited to offer you the powerful benefits of (LENS) therapy to help free people of all ages from the symptoms of trauma, depression, dissociation, phobias, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. LENS therapy has significantly helped people with neurological issues, performance enhancement, sleep, and traumatic brain injuries and have experienced relief from symptoms as quickly and permanently as in one (1) session.
Clinical studies support the effectiveness of LENS, as well as the results of over 75,000 people who have already been treated. Doctors and researchers recommend LENS for adults, teens, children to improve emotions & behaviors.
LENS -Has significantly helped people with:
- ADD/ADHD
- Addiction
- Anxiety
- Autism and Asperger’s
- Depression
- Head Injury
- Neurological Issues
- Panic Attacks
- Post-Partum Depression
- Sensory Processing Difficulties
- OCD
- Trauma/Post Traumatic Stress
LENS is also recommended for improving general functioning, athletic performance, clarity of thinking, energy level, motivation, and focus.
It can enhance your progress in therapy, meditation, or spiritual practices
Are you ready to live without these challenges? I can help you… I have successfully treated clients in my private practice in the past year with positive outcomes using Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) therapy.
Unlike “traditional neurofeedback” sessions,
LENS:
Traditional neurofeedback trains the brain, whereas LENS Neurofeedback dis-entrains the brain from where it is stuck and frozen.
LENS is passive, the patient sits for a few seconds at a time, very easy, and you don’t have to do anything. Whereas, in TN, you spend countless hours sitting in front of a monitor.
With LENS, the session is very short and quick and may last a couple of seconds to 6 minutes is( the average time per session).
With LENS, there are a third fewer sessions(11 sessions are the average #) compared to about 40+ sessions in TN.
In LENS, results are often seen within the 1st session, compare to TN
LENS can be the primary modality or use as an adjunct to other therapies.
Your LENS Session:
- Pre-screening Patient Questionnaire to assess client’s sensitivity, reactivity, and hardiness/resiliency levels to determine how much LENS to apply in the first session. To go to the Patient Questionnaire
- In the initial interview, the following areas will be assessed before determining LENS protocol:
- Check for any physical ailments
- Recent changes in medication/supplements
- Other current therapies
- History of Tinnitus
- Assess for any illness/conditions such as: seizures, tics, migraines, headaches, cluster headaches, stuttering, Tourette, explosiveness
- Determine how you may experience stress, anxiety, & frustration, upset etc.(e.g. volatility, explosiveness, unusual quietness, etc.)
- Based the information gathered, the LENS neurofeedback treatment will be explained, and the sensors will be applied to the head or body.
- Post treatment, will check with the client to see how they are feeling, and they are noticing?
- A customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals will be created.
- Post-treatment interview to assess and support your adaption to positive changes from treatment.
