Neurofeedback & Neuromodulation

Brain-based, evidence-informed neurofeedback and neuromodulation in Arlington, MA and across Massachusetts

Neurofeedback and neuromodulation are non-invasive, brain-based approaches that support the brain’s ability to regulate itself more efficiently. These methods are used to improve focus, emotional regulation, sleep, pain sensitivity, and cognitive resilience across a wide range of concerns. At Integrative Psychology, we offer neurofeedback and neuromodulation, including photobiomodulation, as part of a thoughtful, evidence-informed, and integrative treatment approach. Services are available in Arlington, Massachusetts, with select options for guided at-home training and telehealth support across Massachusetts.

Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation to Support Brain Regulation, Resilience, and Performance

Paragraph

Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that uses real-time information about brain activity to help the brain develop more flexible and efficient patterns. By measuring your brainwaves in real time we can see your unique QEEG “brain map” which shows us how your brain is responding, and then which types of neurofeedback (eeg brain wave training) are likely to be most helpful. Over time, as you train your brain to respond in new ways, this can support improvements in attention, emotional regulation, stress tolerance, sleep, and cognitive performance.

Neuromodulation refers to non-invasive methods that influence brain function and regulation, such as photobiomodulation or cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), often by supporting neural activity, connectivity, or metabolic processes. These approaches are designed to work with the brain’s natural capacity for change (neuroplasticity).
All approaches are non-invasive, comfortable, and do not involve medication.






What Are Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation?

Paragraph

At Integrative Psychology, neurofeedback and neuromodulation are never used in a one-size-fits-all way. We integrate these tools within a broader health psychology, behavioral medicine, and neuroscience-informed framework.

Our approach includes:
 • Careful assessment and clinical context
 • Selection of protocols based on goals and symptoms
 • Integration with psychotherapy and mind-body approaches
 • Ongoing monitoring and adjustment
 • Emphasis on safety, pacing, and sustainability

These methods are used to support broader therapeutic goals—not replace psychotherapy or medical care.


Our Integrative Approach

Paragraph

Your licensed psychologist uses sensors placed on the scalp to measure brain wave activity. That information is translated into visual or auditory feedback, allowing you and your brain to learn new regulatory patterns through repetition and reinforcement.

Neurofeedback is often used to support:

 • Attention and executive functioning
 • Emotional regulation
 • Stress and anxiety reduction
 • Sleep quality
 • Recovery from brain injury
 • Pain sensitivity and nervous system balance

Training is gradual and individualized, with protocols adjusted over time based on response and data.







Neurofeedback: How It Works

Paragraph

We primarily use clinical-grade neurofeedback systems, including:

• iMediSync
 • BrainMaster systems
 • Thought Technology systems
These systems allow for flexible, clinician-guided training based on your specific goals and presentation.

For some clients, we also offer guided, customized at-home neurofeedback practice using devices and platforms such as:

 • Muse via the Myndlift platform
 • Brainmaster Atlantis

At-home training is used selectively and always in coordination with clinical oversight.








Neurofeedback Technologies We Use

Neuromodulation and Photobiomodulation

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a form of neuromodulation that uses specific wavelengths of light to support brain function and cellular energy processes.

At Integrative Psychology, photobiomodulation may be used to support:
 • Cognitive clarity and mental energy
 • Nervous system regulation
 • Recovery after brain injury
 • Healthy aging and cognitive resilience

We use clinical-grade neuromodulation and photobiomodulation devices, including:

 -AlphaStim
 • iMediSync systems
 • Neuronic devices
PBM is non-invasive and is integrated thoughtfully based on individual needs and goals.




Conditions and Goals Neurofeedback & Neuromodulation May Support

Clients may seek neurofeedback or neuromodulation for:

• ADHD and executive functioning challenges
 • Stress, anxiety, or burnout
 • Sleep and insomnia concerns
 • Trauma-related nervous system dysregulation
 • Chronic pain and pain sensitivity
 • Brain injury or post-concussion symptoms; seizure disorders
 • Cognitive performance and mental efficiency
 • Healthy aging and brain resilience
Not every client is a candidate for these approaches, and recommendations are always individualized.




Paragraph

These approaches are often combined with:

 • ADHD & Neurodivergent Care
 • Stress Management & Burnout Therapy
 • Chronic Pain & Health-Related Conditions
 • Brain Injury & TBI Support
 • Behavioral Medicine and Life Transitions
This integrated model helps support lasting, real-world change and uses cutting edge technology to support and measure change in meaningful and enjoyable ways.




Neurofeedback Within an Integrative Framework

Paragraph

• Neurofeedback sessions are typically held weekly or more
 • Some protocols involve a series of sessions over time
 • Care is available in-person in Arlington, MA
 • At-home training may be incorporated selectively
 • Progress is monitored and protocols adjusted as needed
Neurofeedback and neuromodulation may be used as stand-alone training or as part of a broader, integrative treatment plan.
