Neurofeedback Therapy in Nashville, TN

Neurofeedback in Nashville for Anxiety, ADHD, Brain Fog, and Cognitive Performance

Neurofeedback therapy is like physical therapy for your brain. At MaxWell Clinic, we begin with a 19-lead quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain map and cognitive performance testing, then use those insights to create a personalized training plan around your focus, mood, sleep, and long-term cognitive health goals.

Be your best self

Train your brain to be the best it can be.

Your brain is an amazing organ, capable of almost anything. But sometimes it needs a bit of a push to lead you back into healthier or more productive realms. That’s where Neurofeedback comes in! As you train specific areas of the brain, new neurons and neural pathways will be created that can help with sleep issues, attention problems, anxiety or depression symptoms.

Neurofeedback therapy targets the root of the problem.

Neurofeedback is noninvasive and does not use medication or surgery.

A typical training visit lasts about 60 minutes, including approximately 45 minutes of neurofeedback training.
The recommended schedule depends on the person’s assessment, goals, and response.

ADD & ADHD
Neurofeedback is a noninvasive, drug-free approach that may support attention, focus, and self-regulation. At MaxWell Clinic, each program is personalized using qEEG brain mapping, cognitive testing, symptoms, and individual goals.
Sleep Issues
When you’re asleep, your brain should cycle through three different states: alpha (a light state of relaxation), theta (the dream-state), and delta. If something is interrupting these rhythms it can make falling asleep really difficult. Through Neurofeedback, we can strengthen that pattern of activity in a positive way so you can sleep better.
Depression, Anxiety, Stress
It’s not uncommon for work or school to take a toll on people. Many people experience periods of anxiety, depression, and stress. QEEG brain map is conducted first to identify the dysregulated areas that cause this distressful feeling for an individual person. This then leads into subsequent training sessions which help regulate those parts of the brain so they are able to alleviate symptoms altogether with lasting relief!
Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury
A concussion can lead to lasting problems if left untreated or undertreated. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive and painless way to help professional athletes or active duty service members with brain injuries. With this technology, we can determine which parts of the brain have been altered by an injury or trauma and through treatment, help bring things back into balance again.
Seizures
Studies show seizure disorders like epilepsy respond well to neurofeedback training. Although drugs and surgery can often provide effective means of treating seizures, they also come with risks that can make this option undesirable or unavailable. Through neurofeedback training, the brain can learn to regulate and stabilize the nerve disruptions that cause their condition.
Migraines
If you’ve been having trouble with your migraines and are looking for a natural remedy, neurofeedback might be the answer. Neurofeedback training has been shown to help reduce both frequency and intensity of migraines. By balancing the brain so it operates better, your headaches are more likely to go away, occur less frequently or become less intense.
Behavioral Issues
Neurofeedback is a drug-free treatment for behavior issues that manifest with dysregulation. Brain training addresses the underlying issues in brain performance leading to difficulty concentrating, impulsiveness, and disorganization. By addressing these root causes of cognitive difficulties like attention span or behavior problems such as anger management, there can be sustained changes that reduce symptoms associated with mental disorders.
Focus & Productivity
A number of athletes and executives have utilized neurofeedback technologies to learn how to maximize their mental potential, but they’re not the only ones. Musicians, chess players, writers—anyone can use these tools for success in all fields. Neurofeedback is an increasingly popular practice among individuals who are looking for a competitive edge on one another or just want some help during stressful times at work or at school.
Addiction
Neurofeedback treatment is a form of therapy that has been proven to help in the recovery from addiction. It targets specific areas within your brain and is often combined with other forms of treatments including 12-step groups and therapy. Whether it be substance addiction, behavioral addiction, or an eating disorder, neurofeedback not only can help regulate your brain and lessen cravings but also restore healthy functioning.
*Neurofeedback may be one element of a treatment plan. Results vary from patient to patient.
As you train specific areas of the brain, new neurons, and neural pathways will be created that can help with sleep issues, attention problems, anxiety, or depression symptoms. Neurofeedback can offer lasting solutions for those looking for relief from ailments or for those looking to improve their brain potential.

  • We have many different types of Neurotherapy available. Your brain is unique and your treatment plan should be too.
  • We test and don’t guess. We don’t make assumptions about something as complex as your brain.

No two brains are alike.

Thorough assessments enable us to custom-tailor your neurofeedback treatment plans. When we’re able to understand your unique brain function, it allows us to look beyond just the symptoms you may be experiencing and identify brain activity that may be at the root of the cause.
Here’s our approach:

Brain Mapping

Brain mapping, also known as QEEG, allows us to look at your brainwave activity in 19 different locations. Each of these areas has a unique electrical fingerprint that we call the Brain Map. The qEEG is a simple and painless procedure that takes about 1 hour in our office. During the qEEG, we’ll place electrode gel and sensors on your scalp and have you complete a series of simple brain exercises while we record your brain activity. We compare your map against many other maps from years of extensive research and know what biomarkers or common traits are associated with various disorders. The results will reveal any imbalances that can be addressed with Neurofeedback or other neuropathy training methods.

Cognitive Performance Testing

Cognitive Performance Testing takes about 45 minutes to complete and measures neurocognitive and behavioral states using a series of questions. This brain exercise stress test generates results that add insight and objective validity to our assessment of your brain function. The results may indicate brain challenges such as attention problems, and mild to late-stage memory loss that can then be addressed with Neurofeedback Sessions. Knowing where you are starting and where your clinical course is going are very important questions that Cognitive Performance Testing helps us answer.

Customized Neurotherapy Protocol

Your custom-tailored Neurotherapy protocol is unique to your circumstances and goals! While the preliminary testing results will reveal any imbalances that can be addressed with Neurofeedback Sessions, we also take special care to hear and understand your experiences and insights because it may hold additional clues to your struggles. Your clinician reviews all of your assessments and data to create a customized protocol. We offer Neurofeedback, Neurostimulation, Neuromodulation, and Cognitive Exercise as treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Neurofeedback trains the brain using real-time EEG. At MaxWell Clinic we use a 19-lead full-cap system to read activity across your brain. Software gives immediate visual or audio feedback and your brain learns to self-regulate toward healthier patterns. It is noninvasive and drug-free.
Patients seek neurofeedback for attention challenges, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, concussion and TBI symptoms, PTSD, migraines, cognitive fog, and performance goals. Your plan is tailored to your goals and test results.
Good candidates want a noninvasive way to improve focus, mood, sleep, or performance. Tell us about any photosensitive seizures, recent severe head injury, unmanaged mania or psychosis, or medical instability so we time and tailor care safely. Every plan is reviewed by a clinician first.
Everyone starts with a 19-lead qEEG brain map, Cognitive Performance Testing (CNSVS), and a review of key biomarkers related to brain health. We analyze your unique patterns and set clear training targets. After 20 sessions we repeat the brain map and cognitive testing to measure progress and refine your plan.
You sit in a comfortable chair while our technician places the full-cap with conductive gel. You watch a screen or listen to audio that responds to your brain activity in real time. The system rewards more efficient patterns and reduces dysregulation. You remain awake and engaged the whole time.
Training time is about 45 minutes. Plan for a 60-minute visit. The initial brain-mapping appointment takes about 60 minutes, and Cognitive Performance Testing takes about 45 minutes.
Most people start with 20 sessions, then we reassess with a repeat brain map and cognitive testing. Many reach goals in 30 to 40 total sessions. Complex cases may need more.
We use a 19-lead full-cap system. Most clinics use a 3-lead setup that trains one small area at a time. Full-cap training lets us train multiple regions simultaneously for faster, more dynamic results, and it helps prevent over-training a single region. Your protocol is custom, based on your map, testing, symptoms, and goals.
Side effects are uncommon and usually mild and short-lived, such as temporary fatigue, headache, feeling wired, or vivid dreams. We monitor every session and adjust targets and pacing to your tolerance. Our full-cap approach supports balanced training across regions.
Yes. Peer-reviewed studies support neurofeedback for attention, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, and more. We pair this evidence with objective measures, qEEG and cognitive testing, before and after training to track your progress.
MaxWell Clinic practices outside the insurance model. Insurance and Medicare do not reimburse our neurofeedback services here. HSA and FSA funds are typically acceptable. We provide detailed receipts.
Neurofeedback trains brain activity measured by EEG. Biofeedback trains body signals such as heart rate, breathing, or muscle tension. We may combine approaches when helpful.
Pricing depends on your plan and number of sessions. We review all costs after your brain map and consult. Packages are available. HSA/FSA are usually accepted, and financing options are available. Your 20-session progress re-map and cognitive retest are provided at no additional charge.
