Whether you're managing anxiety, recovering from a brain injury, or simply seeking greater clarity and calm — neurofeedback meets your brain where it is and trains it toward where you want to be.
Susan Addams is a certified Othmer Method Neurofeedback provider and Educational Therapist with over two decades of experience helping children and adults optimize brain function. She is the founder of THINK! Therapy Center, serving North San Diego County from Encinitas and San Marcos.
Her approach is deeply personal — rooted in faith, science, and a conviction that every brain has the capacity to change. She works with clients one-on-one, tailoring every session protocol to the individual rather than the diagnosis.
North County Neurofeedback exists because the tools that transformed her family's life deserve to be accessible to every adult seeking clarity, calm, and restored function.
Neurofeedback is particularly powerful for adult brains navigating stress, trauma, cognitive challenges, and the desire to perform at their best.
Train the nervous system out of its hypervigilant baseline. Clients often describe a quieting of the internal noise within the first several sessions.
Re-regulate the nervous system without requiring verbal retelling of trauma. ILF neurofeedback works at the level where trauma is stored.
Support natural regulation of mood and emotional resilience through targeted left/right hemisphere training protocols.
Neurofeedback supports neuroplasticity following traumatic brain injury, stroke, or concussion — helping restore focus, memory, and processing speed.
Train the brain toward healthier sleep patterns — falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, and waking with genuine restoration.
Executives, athletes, and creatives train their brains for sharper focus, calm under pressure, better decision-making, and mental endurance.
Support cognitive vitality, memory retention, and mental clarity in aging adults, including early-stage cognitive decline and brain fog.
Many adults go undiagnosed for years. Neurofeedback offers a non-medication path to sustainable attention, organization, and impulse regulation.
Restore the brain's capacity for sustained energy, motivation, and engagement — without stimulants or medication.
Sessions are calm, comfortable, and entirely painless. Here's what your journey looks like.
We start with a conversation — your history, your symptoms, your goals. No forms, no pressure. Just listening.
Your first in-person visit. We complete a detailed intake, identify your starting protocol, and run your first session.
Sessions are 30 minutes. You sit comfortably and watch a video — your brain does the work. Most clients notice changes within 6–8 sessions.
After each session we review your response and adjust frequencies. The Othmer Method is always adapting to your brain's feedback.
Most clients reach meaningful stability in 15–20 sessions. The changes made are durable — the brain retains what it learns.
"The most common thing clients tell us after their first few sessions is that the noise inside their head has gotten quieter. That's your nervous system learning a new baseline."
— Susan Addams
After my TBI I couldn't hold a thought. Twenty sessions at North County Neurofeedback and I'm running my business again. The focus and memory I thought I'd lost came back — gradually, then all at once.
I came in completely overwhelmed. Six sessions in, the constant noise in my head had quieted. By session twelve, my husband said I seemed like a different person. I felt it too.
I was skeptical. I'm a physician. But the science is solid and my results were undeniable — better sleep, calmer baseline, sharper decision-making. I recommend it to my own patients now.
Your free consultation is a no-obligation conversation. We'll listen to your story and tell you honestly if neurofeedback is right for you.
