Bronwyn von Niessen Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback

LENS Neurofeedback

LENS Neurofeedback works directly with the brain, the "primary command center" of the central nervous system. It is helpful for a range issues including emotional dysregulation, insomnia, chronic pain, depression, mood swings, panic, tics & tremors, brain fog, and more. It works by lifting brainwave "suppression" patterns which can happen due to past physical or emotional traumas. It can also be used for brain optimization such as in peak performance academics or athletics.

​

It is a direct form of neurofeedback, which means the client does not need to do any kinds of tasks or training activities. During an appointment, the client sits comfortably in a chair while the clinician attaches sensors to the ear lobes and scalp. Feedback is delivered for a short amount of time to the brain, which self-corrects on its own. The sensors are then moved to different locations on the scalp. Many clients notice positive change within the first few appointments.

Persistent negative emotions can be an indicator of unresolved or unprocessed past experiences. Appointments are focused on resolving the root of the issue, oftentimes at a level deeper than the conscious mind is aware of. Bronwyn uses mind-body therapies such as EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT-Tapping), Somatic Therapy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Each appointment is uniquely tailored to the individual.

​

The therapies used in this type of appointment will provide long-lasting change because they target maladaptive memory networks rather than surface level cognitions. This type of appointment is suitable for working with past, current, and future events that hold any kind of emotional charge. 50 or 80 minute appointment length available.
