Does your teenager seem unusually anxious, experience panic attacks, or avoid social situations? Then it’s possible they suffer from an anxiety disorder. These issues are more common than we think, affecting 25% of all teens and 30% of teen girls alone. In fact, many experts note a rise in the level of anxiety and the diagnosis of anxiety disorders in both adults and teenagers. In this describes your teen, seek help from a qualified professional. 

Teens frequently have anxieties about the broad new world they are encountering. For most, these are just phases they grow through, but for others, anxiety becomes a pattern of life that is carried into adulthood. If these anxieties can be addressed before they become part of the teenager’s mental template, this could avoid unnecessary pain in later years.

In our experience at the Brain Wave Center—and supported by research—neurofeedback appears to be effective for both children and teens. We notice the most remarkable benefits when working with young and flexible brains before habits mature and become their template in adulthood. Neurofeedback achieves this by directly training of the brain in real time which helps it learn to function more efficiently.

Neurofeedback addresses brain dysregulation, a cause of issues like anxiety, depression and ADHD. Improved mental performance equals better learning, reduced stress develops better test results, and mitigated emotional and behavioral issues enhance social interactions. We provide brain mapping, neurofeedback, psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy and more.
