🧠✨ Healing the Brain From the Inside Out ✨🧠

At Afton Therapy, we specialize in neurofeedback—a cutting-edge, non-invasive way to help the brain heal, regulate, and perform at its best.

This elastic, comfortable Muse headband may look simple, but it holds powerful technology. It allows us to listen to the brain in real time and gently guide it back into balance.

Neurofeedback works by training the brain to recognize and correct dysregulated patterns associated with:
• anxiety and stress
• attention and focus challenges
• emotional dysregulation
• sleep difficulties
• trauma and nervous-system overload

Rather than masking symptoms, neurofeedback helps the brain learn how to self-regulate. Over time, the brain becomes more efficient, resilient, and calm—often leading to lasting improvements in mood, cognition, and overall well-being.

✨ No medication
✨ No side effects
✨ Just the brain learning to do what it was designed to do—heal itself

At Afton Therapy, we don’t guess. We use data-driven brain mapping and personalized neurofeedback protocols to support true, root-level healing.

When the brain finds balance, everything changes.

Why Afton Therapy Assesses Differently

Cognitive symptoms don’t come from one place—and they shouldn’t be assessed with one tool.

At Afton Therapy, we go beyond surface-level testing to uncover the root cause of attention, learning, and executive-function challenges.

We integrate:
• T.O.V.A. for objective attention data
• Nesplora Virtual Reality to assess real-world cognitive functioning
• DSM-5 self-reports & observer checklists for cross-environment insight
• qEEG / brain mapping to measure how the brain is actually functioning
• Dr. Daniel Amen–based brain health questionnaires to evaluate functional brain patterns
• Dr. Thomas Brown Executive Function questionnaires (Brown EF/A Scales) to assess real-life executive functioning across settings

Most clinics stop at behavior.
We look at the brain.

There is nothing I love more than watching live brainwaves.
These frequencies tell the truth long before a person finds the words.

Every spike, every rhythm, every shift in color or amplitude…
reveals a window into how someone is actually feeling on the inside.

Anxiety has a pattern.
Trauma has a pattern.
Focus, clarity, exhaustion, overwhelm —
the brain shows us all of it.

This is the power of qEEG brain mapping:
It gives us answers.
It gives us direction.
It gives us a way forward.

And when we combine that data with neurofeedback training,
the brain learns to calm, regulate, balance, and perform at its highest potential.
It’s gentle.
It’s non-invasive.
And it genuinely changes lives.

Watching these waves move reminds me of this truth:
Your brain is not the problem — it’s the pathway to healing.
And when we train it, everything changes.

Most people have no idea what happens inside the brain during a tic attack.
This slideshow breaks it down in a simple, visual way—so parents, teens, and educators can finally understand it’s not behavioral… it’s neurological.

A tic attack is a surge of misfiring motor circuits, emotional overload, sensory overwhelm, and a fight-or-flight response all happening at once. Teens aren’t “choosing” it. Their brain is flooded.

This is why qEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback are such powerful tools—we can actually see the dysregulation and retrain the brain from the inside out.

If your teen struggles with tics, sensory overwhelm, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation…
there is hope, and there are solutions.

Afton Therapy Now Offering Expanded Evening ADHD Testing

If you or your child has been struggling with focus, impulsivity, overwhelm, or emotional regulation, a comprehensive ADHD evaluation can be life-changing. At Afton Therapy, we use T.O.V.A., Nesplora, and qEEG brain mapping with Myndlift to provide accurate, in-depth data so treatment plans are truly effective.

ADHD can impact every age:
• Kids: academic and behavioral challenges
• Teens: anxiety, executive dysfunction, social frustration
• Adults: burnout, disorganization, difficulty balancing responsibilities

A proper diagnosis brings clarity — and often leads to radical improvement in focus, confidence, sleep, emotional stability, and day-to-day functioning.

We now have additional evening appointment availability for ADHD assessments.

📩 Message Afton Therapy to schedule an appointment and get the answers you’ve been searching for.

🧠 What Would Your Brain Reveal?

One of the most powerful ways to heal is by starting at the top: your brain. A qEEG brain map shows how your brain is actually functioning—what’s overactive, underactive, stressed, or out of balance.

At Afton Therapy, we offer remote neurofeedback, which works like exercise for the brain to retrain patterns that impact:

✔️ Anxiety & stress
✔️ ADHD & focus
✔️ Sleep
✔️ Mood
✔️ Trauma
✔️ Cognitive fog
✔️ Peak performance

The holidays can be overwhelming—there is no better time to get clarity, regulate your nervous system, and support your mental health.

If you’re ready to understand your brain and finally feel better from the inside out…

PANS/PANDAS isn’t “behavior.” It’s brain inflammation. And when you support the immune system, healing becomes possible. 💚🧠

What you’re looking at is real brain data from a college student experiencing anxiety.
This qEEG/brain map shows elevated Beta and High-Beta activity — the fast “thinking” frequencies. While we need beta waves for focus, too much of them (especially in the front of the brain) can feel like:
• constant worry
• racing thoughts
• trouble shutting the mind off
• physical tension
• difficulty relaxing
• overwhelm in academic or social situations

For someone trying to thrive in college, this can be exhausting.

How Brainwaves Affect Mental Health:

Your brain communicates using electrical signals — brainwaves — and each type plays a different role in how you think, feel, and function.

Slow waves (delta/theta): deep rest, emotional processing

Alpha: calm, relaxed attention

Beta/High-Beta: focus, analysis, stress, problem-solving

When stress or anxiety takes over, the brain can shift into a pattern of overactive fast waves, especially when it’s supposed to be in a calmer, more regulated state. This is exactly what we see here.

The Power of Neurofeedback:

The most encouraging part?
Your brain can learn to regulate itself.

Through neurofeedback, we train the brain to shift out of dysregulated patterns and into healthier ones — naturally and without medication.

Neurofeedback helps by:
• lowering excessive high-beta linked with anxiety
• strengthening calm, centered alpha waves
• improving emotional regulation
• enhancing focus and cognitive performance
• supporting overall mental well-being

With consistent training, the brain becomes more flexible, more resilient, and more capable of returning to a calm baseline — even under stress.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, you’re not “broken.”

Your brain is simply sending signals that can be retrained.
And the transformation I see every day in clients is remarkable.

If you’re curious about neurofeedback, qEEG mapping, or how this process works, I’d love to share more.

When the brain enters a state of hyperarousal, it begins operating at speeds that are far too fast. This “overactive” state can make everyday sounds—breathing, chewing, tapping, clicking—feel unbearable. For many, these noises don’t just irritate; they trigger overwhelm, panic, or a flood of emotional and physical discomfort.

This isn’t a character flaw. It’s a brain-based response.

When brainwave frequencies become unbalanced and excessively fast, the nervous system loses its ability to filter or tolerate sensory input. The world feels louder. Stress feels heavier. And the smallest stimuli can feel like too much.

Brain mapping (qEEG) allows us to see this clearly.
It reveals whether a person’s brain is stuck in anxious, high-frequency patterns—and most importantly, it shows us where the imbalance begins.

With neurofeedback, we can retrain these patterns.
We gently teach the brain how to shift out of hyperarousal and into homeostasis—where calm, focus, and emotional regulation become possible again.

If noises feel overwhelming or your brain feels “always on,” there is a neurological reason… and there is a path back to peace.

Afton Therapy specializes in brain mapping and neurofeedback to help restore balance to the brain and ease to the mind.
