Common BRAIN HEALTH Challenges We Address
ADD/ADHD
ADHD is defined by inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, often with executive function challenges (planning, working memory, task initiation/completion) and emotion regulation difficulties. Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a common comorbidity, not a core feature. Many people with ADHD also bring meaningful strengths—divergent thinking, creativity, curiosity, high energy, and the capacity for deep “hyperfocus” on intrinsically interesting goals.
Our approach is results-focused and collaborative: we use evidence-based psychotherapy (e.g., CBT, EMDR, Brainspotting), coach practical executive-function skills, and integrate neurofeedback or HRV biofeedback to support self-regulation, sleep, and stress resilience. For some clients, these adjuncts can complement core treatments and help translate gains into daily life; for others, we emphasize behavioral and medical first-line options and revisit add-ons as goals evolve.
“The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different ~ to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.” John Martin Fisher
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety
Anxiety isn’t simply “mild fear.” It’s a future-oriented threat response marked by heightened autonomic arousal—especially sympathetic “fight-or-flight” activity—often alongside disrupted sleep, breathing, and focus. Our neurofeedback protocols train the brain’s regulation of arousal and attention; over time, many clients report steadier mood, less reactivity, and an easier shift from stress to calm. By supporting autonomic balance (greater parasympathetic engagement) and more efficient brain rhythms, neurofeedback can complement psychotherapy and skills training to strengthen overall brain health.
Depression
Depression is common—roughly one in five adults will face a major episode—and it ranges from major depression (deep loss of interest, slowed thinking, impaired concentration, hopelessness) to persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), a longer-lasting, lower-grade form that can look “high functioning” on the outside. Across the spectrum, many people struggle with rumination—repetitive, sticky negative thoughts that drain energy and hijack attention. At KCNPI, we pair evidence-based psychotherapy with targeted skills to reduce rumination and rebuild motivation, and we incorporate The Depression Cure methodology (behavioral activation, sleep optimization, movement, nutrition/omega-3s, sunlight/bright light exposure, and social connection) as part of a personalized treatment plan.
Mood Disorders & Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback trains the brain’s regulation of arousal and attention—working with the nervous system to support mental health. As an adjunct to evidence-based care, it can help reduce overactivation and improve flexibility. Many clients report early gains such as fewer negative thought loops and less self-blame, alongside more energy, social engagement, and hope. While responses vary, we monitor progress session by session and integrate neurofeedback with psychotherapy, behavioral activation, sleep support, and lifestyle changes for more durable results.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism & Neurofeedback
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental profile that affects social communication, sensory processing, and patterns of behavior/interests. Support plans are most effective when they’re individualized and may include education services, speech/OT, behavioral interventions, medication for specific symptoms, and caregiver coaching—approaches endorsed by major pediatric guidelines
At KCNPI, we use neurofeedback as part of a coordinated plan—alongside evidence-based therapies—to target attention and executive-function challenges, anxiety, mood dysregulation, and repetitive negative thinking when these are present. We collaborate with families and other providers to set clear goals, monitor progress, and adjust the plan so gains translate into everyday life.
