Being certified as Neurofeedback therapist, Dr. Farshid Fard incorporates Neurofeedback treatment to the traditional therapies, believing that, while other modalities are beneficial in their places, there are cases and challenges—such as, but not limited to, ADHD, anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, tension-related headaches, etc.—that can be addressed and treated more efficiently with Neurofeedback.
It is now documented in research-based science that not only people with mental health challenges but also even healthy people with normal functionality can benefit from Neurofeedback to better self-regulate their brains, enhance their capabilities, and experience Peak Performance by getting Neurofeedback training.
Dr. Farshid Fard, a bilingual and multi-cultural oriented practitioner, utilizes these new advances in modern psychotherapy, along with traditional approaches, to help his clients in different age groups with a variety of challenges.
