Some select sites now up & running and taking clients - SEE BELOW. Thanks to ODHS for this innovative partnership!

"It’s like holding up a mirror to the brain so it can make its own adjustments." ~NeurOptimal®

“In my practice, I use neurofeedback primarily to help with the hyperarousal, confusion, and concentration problems of people who suffer from developmental trauma. However, it has also shown good results for numerous issues and conditions..." ~Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score & en español

Through ORPARC's NAAP program, a small group of foster adoption competent mental health therapists around Oregon are getting equipped and trained in NeurOptimal® neurofeedback. Among this select group of therapists includes those of color, with a variety of identities and lived experience, those of strong faith, and some bilingual Spanish speaking. Download flyer here!

Space and location permitting, state adoptive and guardianship parents or children can get a free referral - while free sessions last - by contacting ORPARC. Hear what clients have to say:

"...it makes him feel much calmer in his body and brain." ~Parent

"It settles me down so I have better dreams..." ~Child

"In [my child], the changes were miraculous." ~Parent

"Part of why it helps me calm down is because sometimes at the start I am not calm...it makes me calm at the end." ~Child

"...the first session was a lifting of the brain fog and repetitive thoughts... It was so quiet in my brain that everything felt lighter...the world looked brighter..." ~Parent

"She has only gone to sleep without medication twice - and once was during (and then after) her session!" ~Parent
