Harness the Power of Your Mind & Gain Control of Your Health
Welcome to the Advanced Neurofeedback and Family Therapy Center located in Dallas, TX. At ANFTC patients learn how to retrain and enhance their brain function to help symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, OCD, Asperger’s/Autism, Early Dementia, Eating Disorders, Epilepsy, Stroke, Headaches, and Cognitive problems.
At ANFTC we utilize an OBB Integrative Neurotherapy Program™, a Neurotherapy approach which combines several Neurotherapy modalities to optimize and personalize Neurotherapy for each individual. Everyone has a different need and that is best addressed by utilizing your evaluation and brainmap and a data driven selection of training approaches. We do not use canned protocols that are best described as a one size fits all approach. Our OBB Integrative Neurotherapy Program™ approach utilizes the most advanced Neurotherapy modalities available today: Loreta Live Z Score Neurofeedback, 19 Channel surface Z Score Training, pEMF, and Radio Wave. We have integrated the swLORETA z score neurofeedback in 2020 and it has been a remarkable improvement beyond the sLORETA z score neurofeedback that we were using since 2014. It includes the cerebellum of the brain and has effectively increased the brain regions by about 80%. This is the difference in being in outer space and landing on the moon! It helps us to link symptoms to the brain more effectively. We also implement 19 channel surface z score training for some cases, pEMF (pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency) which is a tiny amount of energy that is not feelable to the person receiving it but can make a huge change for an over excited or hyperactive nervous system.
Your need for Neurotherapy may include cognitive problems, depression, anxiety, memory and sleep problems due to TBI (mild or severe concussion). You may also be dealing with life-long difficulty from inherited traits such as OCD, bi polar disorder, ADHD, and learning problems such as dyslexia; or you may have epilepsy or Parkinson’s. Many people who are peak performers and driven to excel may want peak performance training to keep their brain in top preforming condition. This is a non-pharmaceutical approach to remediation and optimizing brain functioning. Most patients at the Advanced Neurofeedback Center are able to eliminate or reduce medications for these conditions over the course of their sessions with the consultation of their prescribing provider.
WHY CHOOSE A BCIA CLINICIAN?
BCIA-certified professionals are internationally respected for six reasons.
1. BCIA is a non-profit institute that has been an effective advocate for our field. The American Psychological Association (APA) has recognized biofeedback as a proficiency in professional psychology because of the petition that BCIA filed with them. BCIA has been dedicated to a singular mission since 1981:
“BCIA certifies individuals who meet education and training standards in biofeedback and progressively recertifies those who advance their knowledge through continuing education.”
2. BCIA’s biofeedback certification is the only program that is recognized by the three major international membership organizations: the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), theBiofeedback Foundation of Europe (BFE), and the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR).
3. BCIA’s biofeedback certification is based on scientific evidence published in refereed journals. BCIA rejects narrow, unsubstantiated perspectives and the conflict of interest that exists when certification depends on a specific vendor’s equipment, databases, and protocols. BCIA certification is based on a reading list, Blueprint of Knowledge, and Professional Standards and Ethical Principles that were developed following an extensive job analysis and that are regularly updated by a task force of international authorities in biofeedback. BCIA continually gathers data to validate and revise its exams through the psychometric process to ensure the relevance, integrity, and value of our certification program.
4. BCIA’s biofeedback certification exam adheres to the highest psychometric standards. We painstakingly evaluate and revise our exam on a regular basis. Several independent experts, who include clinicians and the most experienced educators in our field, regularly review exam items to ensure that the they represent key blueprint concepts, are sourced to our suggested reading list, and are psychometrically sound. We regularly replace outdated exam questions with new ones that are contributed by biofeedback authorities and then validated by our certificants.
5. BCIA requires that our certificants adhere to one of the strongest ethical codes in our field. In addition, we require that our certificants complete 3 hours of ethics continuing education when they renew their certification. Our rigorous ethical standards are one of the many reasons that our international colleagues have chosen BCIA biofeedback certification.
6. BCIA’s Board of Directors consists of clinicians, educators, and researchers who have guided the development of biofeedback. Our Board includes leaders of the three major international membership organizations who have contributed decades of service to our field.
