Non-invasive, evidence-based neurofeedback for adults and children — helping your brain self-regulate, so you can think clearly, sleep deeply, and feel like yourself again.
Neurofeedback is a safe, painless process that teaches your brain to regulate itself more efficiently — without drugs, without discomfort.
"Imagine your brain is like a car engine that sometimes runs too fast, too slow, or out of tune. Neurofeedback is like a mechanic who shows the engine a mirror — and the engine fixes itself."
We place tiny sensors on your scalp that read your brainwaves — like a thermometer reading temperature, but for your brain. A computer shows those brainwaves back to you through a video or sound. When your brain sees its own activity, it instinctively moves toward a calmer, more balanced pattern — the same way you naturally adjust your posture when you see yourself in a mirror. No electricity goes in. Nothing is done to your brain. It simply gets to see itself, and it learns.
Small electrodes placed on your scalp measure your brain's electrical activity in real time. Nothing is sent into your brain — we only listen.
That activity is shown back to you through a video or audio signal. When your brain moves toward a healthier pattern, the signal rewards it.
Over sessions, your brain reorganizes its activity. Most clients notice improvements in focus, sleep, mood, and calm within the first several sessions.
Neurofeedback supports a wide range of brain-based challenges — for children and adults alike.
Improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and build sustained attention without stimulant medications.
Calm an overactive nervous system and cultivate a baseline of inner steadiness.
Support mood regulation and emotional resilience through targeted brainwave training.
Gently re-regulate the nervous system without requiring verbal retelling of trauma.
Train the brain toward healthier sleep architecture — fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer.
Support cognitive recovery and neuroplasticity following TBI, concussion, or stroke.
Address sensory dysregulation, anxiety, and attention challenges common in ASD.
Executives, athletes, and students seeking sharper cognition, calm under pressure, and mental edge.
Support cognitive vitality, clarity, and memory in aging adults and early cognitive decline.
Developed by Sue and Siegfried Othmer over 35+ years, ILF Neurofeedback works at ultra-low frequencies — below 0.1 Hz — to regulate the brain's core arousal networks. The result is faster, deeper, and more durable change than traditional neurofeedback.
Unlike protocol-based approaches that apply fixed frequencies to everyone, the Othmer Method is entirely individualized — every session adapts to your brain's unique optimal response frequency, delivering results that are felt in as few as one to three sessions.
The Othmer Method works primarily at Infra-Low frequencies — where arousal regulation, emotional stability, and autonomic function are governed.
A clear, supportive process from first contact to lasting results.
We discuss your history, symptoms, and goals. No pressure — just a conversation to see if neurofeedback is right for you.
We complete a full intake, review any relevant reports, and design your individualized protocol.
30-minute sessions, typically twice per week. You relax and watch a screen while your brain does the work.
We monitor your responses session by session, adjusting frequencies to maintain your brain's optimal trajectory.
"Neurofeedback gave us our family back. Now I give others that same gift."

Decades of clinical data and peer-reviewed research confirm what our clients feel: ILF Neurofeedback produces fast, measurable, and lasting change.
Real outcomes from real people who trained their brains with Othmer ILF / EEG Neurofeedback.
I came in completely overwhelmed with anxiety I'd had for years. After six sessions I noticed the constant noise in my head had quieted. By session twelve, my husband said I seemed like a different person.
We tried everything for our son's ADHD. Neurofeedback was the only thing that worked without making him feel medicated. His teachers noticed before we even told them what we were doing.
After my TBI I couldn't hold a thought. I did 20 sessions at North County Neurofeedback and I'm back to running my business. The focus and memory I thought I'd lost came back, gradually and then all at once.
Serving North San Diego County from Encinitas and San Marcos.
North County Neurofeedback is a sister practice to THINK! Therapy Center — offering the same Othmer Method neurofeedback in a clinical setting focused on adult outcomes, peak performance, and neurorecovery.
