Psychotherapy

At Lighthouse we encourage our therapists to take a balanced perspective with therapy

At Lighthouse Neurofeedback & Behavioral Health, we align our services with the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework

NIMH’s research represents a shift away from traditional symptom-based diagnoses towards a neuroscience-informed, dimensional understanding of mental health. 

Instead of viewing mental disorders as isolated diagnoses, RDoC emphasizes dysfunction in brain networks and behavioral systems that cut across many diagnostic categories. This framework is deeply compatible with how we approach healing and growth in our clinic. 

  • Enhanced Effectiveness

    Adding neurofeedback to your psychotherapy regime can make the brain more receptive to psychological interventions by stabilizing neural activity. This can potentially accelerate the therapeutic process, making insights gained in psychotherapy more impactful and sustainable.

  • Treatment-Resistant Conditions

    For individuals with conditions like treatment-resistant depression or trauma-induced negative self-perceptions, combining neurofeedback with psychotherapy can offer significant improvements. Neurofeedback can help reduce symptoms, making it easier for individuals to engage in and benefit from psychotherapy.

  • Sustained Benefits

    The combination of neurofeedback and psychotherapy can lead to long-lasting improvements. For example, individuals with anxiety who undergo neurofeedback often maintain their improvements long after the treatment ends, especially when combined with ongoing psychotherapy

  • Holistic Approach

    While neurofeedback focuses on regulating brainwave patterns to improve mental health, psychotherapy addresses the cognitive and emotional aspects. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to mental well-being.
