Mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and ADHD often disrupt daily life, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and stuck. While medication and therapy can help, some patients seek alternatives that work with the brain’s natural ability to heal itself. BrainCore Neurofeedback Therapy offers a revolutionary, non-invasive approach to mental health care. At New Direction Wellness Functional Psychiatry, we provide Medicaid-covered BrainCore therapy to residents in Pennsylvania, making cutting-edge treatment accessible to all.
What Is BrainCore Neurofeedback Therapy?
BrainCore Neurofeedback Therapy is a science-backed treatment that uses advanced technology to retrain the brain and restore balance. Neurofeedback works by providing real-time feedback on brainwave activity, teaching the brain to self-regulate and form healthier patterns.
How It Works:
- Sensor Placement: Sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity.
- Real-Time Feedback: Patients engage in activities while receiving feedback, such as visual or audio cues, based on their brainwave activity.
- Brain Training: Over time, the brain learns to optimize its function, reducing symptoms of mental health conditions.

BrainCore therapy is a safe, effective, and medication-free option for addressing mental health challenges. Key benefits include:
- Improved Focus and Attention: Ideal for ADHD patients.
- Reduced Anxiety and Stress: Helps regulate overactive brainwave activity.
- Better Sleep Patterns: Promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Supports individuals with depression or mood disorders.
