4-Channel Z Score Training with BrainAvatar
Neurofeedback is an interesting field, because it is not just one technique done a standard way across all clinicians and therapists.

In our office, we have the ability to train in many of these techniques, and we use some of the most up to date software and hardware in the indust

NIMH director talks about “Brain Disorders” instead of Mental Health Disorders
By Dr. Allen Novian In this TED Talk by Thomas Insel, the director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), he discusses the need to redefine “mental health disorders” and “behavioral disorders” by acknowledging their source: they are brain disorders.

In the talk, he discusses early detection and intervent

Relationships and Boundaries
By Dr. Allen Novian Have you ever seen a brother and sister sharing the back seat of a car? It seems inevitable that one will begin to pester the other by pushing boundaries. One of them crosses the invisible “middle line” and the other immediately complains about it. The same thing happens between spouses as invisible boundaries and expectations are not respected. Arguments between parents and children also often come from the breaking of unspoken or unseen boundaries. O

Families and ADD
By Dr. Allen Novian When parents bring their kids in for ADD testing, they are often surprised to find that many of the problems their children have are actually reflected in their own lives as well.

What's Going on Between Your Ears
By Dr. Allen Novian What if you knew what was going on behind that perfect haircut? Sometimes, it seems as if there is nothing but air, other times, it feels like the gears are turning so fast that you can’t shut them off! Well, we can actually take a look and see what your brain is doing, without even opening up the skull. We look at the brain’s activity electrically… yes, I said electrically. Did you know that your brain works off of electricity, just like computers and
