Train your brain to settle, focus, and sleep — drug-free
Neurofeedback is gentle, non-invasive brain training. No medication, no side effects — just your brain learning healthier patterns. It can ease anxiety, sharpen focus, and improve sleep, and it works beautifully alongside your therapy.

Is neurofeedback right for you?
- You want a drug-free option for anxiety, focus, or sleep.
- Medication hasn’t suited you, or you’d simply rather avoid it.
- You’re already in therapy and want to accelerate your progress.
- You or your child struggle with attention or emotional regulation.
- You’re curious about a science-based, measurable approach.
How it works
We begin with a brief assessment, then your brain receives real-time feedback that gently reinforces calmer, more focused patterns — no effort needed on your part, and most people find it deeply relaxing. One thing I’m always clear about: neurofeedback is an optional add-on to counselling, never a replacement. Therapy does the deeper work; neurofeedback can help it land faster.

Why do neurofeedback here
Brain training supervised by a doctorate-level clinician — not a technician. QEEG-informed neurofeedback, integrated with doctoral-level psychotherapy when you need both.
Doctorate-level depth, a therapist’s ear
Doctorate in Health Sciences, with credentials verified by the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) and the US Federation of State Medical Boards. Sam understands your medications, your sleep, your body — most counsellors simply can’t.
Trauma experience no classroom teaches
Twelve years with the Red Crescent in refugee camps across three countries, then five years with Veterans Affairs Canada. Whatever you’re carrying — he has already seen its edges.
Therapy plus neurofeedback, one practice
One of very few clinicians in BC combining doctoral-level psychotherapy with brain training — for when talking alone hasn’t been enough.
No gatekeepers
No receptionist, no intake forms before a human hears you. You call, he answers. First 20 minutes free.
What happens when you call?
Dr. Samuel answers personally. No secretary, no forms, no gatekeeping.
Ask anything: fees, insurance coverage, whether therapy or neurofeedback fits you. Completely confidential.
Book a first session — or don’t. Either way, you leave the call with clarity and zero obligation.
The Science Behind Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback operates on a principle of operant conditioning applied to brain activity. When the brain produces a desired brainwave pattern — say, a shift from excess theta (associated with distraction) toward beta (associated with focus) — the feedback signal rewards that shift. Over repeated trials and sessions, the brain learns to produce the desired pattern more reliably and sustain it without conscious effort. This is neuroplasticity in a very direct form: the brain changing its own default patterns through targeted practice.
The field has evolved significantly from its origins in the 1960s. Modern neurofeedback uses 19-channel QEEG-guided protocols (LORETA and sLORETA) that can target specific brain networks — the default mode network, the salience network, the prefrontal-parietal attention network — rather than just training individual electrode sites. This precision is one reason results have improved markedly over older single-channel approaches.
Conditions and the Evidence
ADHD has the strongest and most replicated evidence base, with over 40 randomized controlled trials. PTSD and trauma — neurofeedback stabilizes the hyperaroused nervous system and reduces intrusive symptoms, often serving as an important preparatory step before EMDR or other trauma processing. Anxiety — protocols targeting excess high-frequency beta or promoting alpha coherence reduce physiological and psychological anxiety markers. Depression — alpha asymmetry training has shown effects across multiple controlled studies. Sleep disorders — delta/sigma protocols improve sleep onset and quality, particularly for trauma-related insomnia. Peak performance — used by athletes, musicians, and executives to sharpen focus and reduce performance anxiety.
