What to Expect Before Intake

  • One 30-min intake is provided in the treatment package. The second 30-min portion is spent on the Brain Map. Please have all parties involved present for the talk portion of the intake.

  • Feel free to ask any questions here about Lighthouse and our mission in terms of your specialized treatment! 

  • Come to intake with a list of symptoms or areas in need of improvement (ex: behaviorally, socially, cognitively, etc.) 

  • List of current and/or past medications (dosage is preferred but not required) 

  • Double check the office you are scheduled to be at. We have 3 locations for neurofeedback services.

What to Expect Before a QEEG (Brain Mapping)

  • 30 min total recording process. Approximately 5 min total for Eyes Opened and 5 min total for Eyes Closed (recording time can vary)

  • Try your best to get a good night's sleep prior to coming for your first session   

  • If taking medications can prolong consumption, please do so. (Only if it does not affect you drastically)

  • We use gel during this process, and it will be in your hair after we finish!  May want to wait to shower for that day. We will wipe down scalp and hair the best we can following the map! 

  • Let the therapist know if you have any sensitivities to salt-based products (We have hypoallergenic gel as well!) 

  • We will want to focus on relaxing muscles during the recording to reduce any tension in the forehead, jaw, eyebrows, or even neck and shoulders!  

  • Please let your therapist know if you need any extra accommodation to feel the most comfortable during this process (ex: blankets, pillows, lights dim, etc.) 

  • Enter the therapy space with an open mind
