Applying neurofeedback clinically comes with a learning curve. You’ve got a new set of tools, and you’ve heard a lot about how they work—but how do you see results in practice? What should you do if something doesn’t go as planned? How can you approach neurofeedback with confidence and bring that same assurance to your clients?

These are the questions this eight-week mentoring program is designed to help you answer!

What to Expect From This Mentoring Group

Your Case Consultations: Students will learn to prepare and present their own neurofeedback case consultations from real neurofeedback sessions. Ask questions, get clinical guidance, then apply it.

Core Neurofeedback Skills: Each consultation presents unique opportunities for applying and refining essential techniques. Rather than theoretical, students are guided from initial assessment to review. 

Peer Support: You'll learn alongside other students by hearing their case consultations and asking questions of your own.

Foundational Understanding: Along with the 12-hour mentoring program, students receive access to on-demand courses about tracking results, using assessments, and building connection with clients.

There are many technical and theoretical questions in your first few months with neurofeedback. It's easy to fall down a rabbit hole and pretty quickly not know where you've ended up, or how to use what you've learned. The advice from experienced clinicians is often the simplest and, if you're here, something you're already skilled with: understanding and connecting with your clients.

This eight-week mentoring program is designed to help students align with a client-centered, attuned approach to neurofeedback. Through practical case consultations, students take what they've learned in introductory training and are guided through application during a real neurofeedback session.

Students prepare a case consultations based on a session they've run (either self-training or with a client), walking through assessment, evaluation, and review. This helps to identify areas to focus on, strengthen  core skills, and build upon the therapeutic concepts they're familiar with.

Attunement - a deep, empathetic connection with your client - is at the heart of this approach. Over the course of eight weeks, students will gain hands-on experience with every aspect of running a neurofeedback session, building confidence and refining their approach along the way.

Whether you're just starting to apply neurofeedback clinically or looking to refine your skills, this course will deepen your understanding of the tools you’re working with and enhance your ability to create meaningful, impactful change for your clients.

How Students Find Success

Students are supported through the mentoring program by the expertise of instructor Ellen Shaw-Smith. A long-time neurofeedback provider, mentor, and a valued member of the EEGer community, Ellen has supported new clinicians learning and applying neurofeedback for decades.

Ellen Shaw-Smith, LICSW, BCN

Since beginning with neurofeedback in 2002, Ellen has been passionately committed to understanding the brain’s language of intelligent electrical communication. Her commitment rests on her early recognition that this communication, when respectfully harnessed, supports deep change in the brain and central nervous system.

In private practice, Ellen's work has an emphasis on the importance of early attachment and treatment for those with early and ongoing trauma. Her teaching reflects an appreciation for the art and science of neurofeedback in combination with psychotherapy and psychoeducation, all in support of deep regulation in each unique human nervous system.

Ellen is a founding member of Attuned Neurofeedback, an approach deeply rooted in the work of brain training pioneers Sebern Fisher, MA, BCN, Dr. Ed Hamlin, and Dr. Ruth Lanius.
