Since no one single modality can be 100% successful every time, we have combined Neurotherapy with Hypnotherapy and nutritional counseling to maximize positive results. We offer Continuous Performance evaluations using TOVA, Connors and IVA, including medication dosage evaluations for medical professionals in the area. Since we do not bill insurance companies your confidentiality is assured and you or your child will not have ADD or other disability labels following you. We utilize the latest and most advanced software and equipment in the United States, including those offered by EEG Spectrum, as well as Multi-Trace-ProComp+.
