Do My Benefits Cover Sessions?

Neurofeedback is excellent for post-concussive or post-traumatic symptoms often associated with recovering from an accident. While we are currently unable to direct bill with ICBC, many of our clients pay for your sessions out of pocket and submit receipts to ICBC for reimbursement.
How Do I Know If I Should Seek Counselling?
Both counselling and neurofeedback can provide relief from mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, adhd, ptsd etc. However, you don’t have to be diagnosed with a specific condition to access our services. Perhaps you are going through a big transition in life, are experiencing a loss, or maybe you just feel like there’s something holding you back from meeting your full potential. We’ll meet you wherever you’re at to provide you with the tools you need to be your best self. Book a free confidential consultation for help on deciding on a treatment plan at NeurAlive.
Are There Different Kinds Of Counselling?
NeurAlive’s therapists customize their therapeutic approaches based on the individual needs of each client. Some approaches focus on changing thoughts and behaviours, and provide you with weekly tasks. Others are more trauma-focused and can help you gain insight into your emotional history. An effective counselling relationship allows for collaboration between you and your therapist to meet your specific needs. Read the bios of our therapists to learn more about their individual approaches.
What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, also called neurotherapy or EEG Biofeedback, is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain function. Your brain knows best how to heal itself, neurofeedback simply acts as a mirror for your brain, giving it the opportunity to self-correct.
Who Can Benefit From Neurofeedback And How?
Neurofeedback restores the natural resiliency and flexibility of the nervous system and is a powerful tool for any brain. It’s suitable for all ages (4+), and can help alleviate symptoms of a variety of conditions, while improving sleep, mood, focus, performance, creativity and overall well-being.

How Long Before I Start Seeing Results?
While every brain is different and every training is unique, our experience working with many hundreds of clients validates the research in this field, that 20 sessions offered at regular intervals represents a complete training protocol. In some cases, 10 sessions will be sufficient, particularly with children. The vast majority of our clients will begin to notice significant change between 1-8 sessions. Still, it’s important to complete an initial series of 10, 20 or more sessions for deep lasting results. We therefore only offer packages of 10 and 20 sessions to our new clients, and then individual ‘tune-up’ sessions thereafter to maintain the results long term. We also offer rental systems for more intensive at-home training for the whole family.
The length of treatment for counselling is entirely up to the individual and will depend on your history, and mental health goals. Many people feel satisfied with the results of their treatment in around 12 sessions. Some people may need less, especially if they are tackling a shorter-term problem, while others will need more, particularly if they are trying to make changes to long-term patterns. Your relationship with your therapist doesn’t end when treatment is over, you are always welcome back if anything changes in your life and you need additional support.
