Neurofeedback Therapy in Houston: qEEG-Guided Brain Training Alongside Trauma Therapy
Neurofeedback is non-invasive, medication-free brain training. We start with a qEEG brain map to see how your nervous system is behaving, then build a training protocol from that data. At Connect Clinical Services, neurofeedback sits alongside EMDR, Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing at one practice, so brain training and trauma therapy are planned together.
Private pay. Neurofeedback assessment $150, qEEG brain map $1,200, training session fees quoted on your call. We do not bill insurance; superbills on request.
Free Consultation With Our Care Team
A free, no-pressure consultation with our care team to see whether neurofeedback fits. The qEEG brain map is a separate paid step we will explain on the call.

Short answer
Neurofeedback is non-invasive EEG biofeedback: sensors read your brainwaves and a screen responds in real time while you train. At Connect Clinical Services in Houston, training starts from a $150 assessment and a $1,200 qEEG brain map, and runs alongside trauma therapy rather than replacing it. It is in person only, at 8100 Washington Ave.
The Science
What Neurofeedback Is, Without the Hype
Neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback, is training rather than treatment in the usual sense. Sensors on the scalp read the electrical activity your brain is already producing. Nothing is sent into your brain. When your brain produces the pattern being trained, the video you are watching stays bright and the sound stays clear. When it drifts, the screen dims. Over sessions, the brain practices holding the steadier pattern.
Neurofeedback at CCS is anchored in trauma care. A nervous system shaped by trauma often sits in hyperarousal: watchful, slow to settle, poor at sleeping. Understanding your triggers does not always change that. The aim of neurofeedback here is a calmer baseline, worked on alongside therapy. Results vary from person to person, and no responsible practice will promise you an outcome.
A qEEG brain map is not a medical EEG and is not used to diagnose ADHD or any other condition. CCS does not offer LENS neurofeedback or medical EEG testing. If that is what you are looking for, a free consultation with our care team is the place to say so, and we will point you somewhere better suited.
How It Works
Four Steps, Starting With Data
Every training plan at our Houston office is built from your own brain map and reviewed against your broader therapy goals.
Assessment and qEEG brain map
A $150 neurofeedback assessment comes first. The qEEG brain map ($1,200, 75 to 90 minutes) records your brainwave activity and compares it against normative data, showing where activity is higher, lower or less stable than typical.
Protocol design
Stephanie Bender, Director of Neurofeedback, leads qEEG brain mapping and individualized neurofeedback protocols. Your map is read alongside your history and therapy goals, and Guy Bender, LPC, Clinical Director, oversees the overall treatment plan.
Training sessions
Sensors are placed on the scalp. You watch a film, play a simple game or listen to music while the system responds to your brainwaves in real time. Most people find the session itself unremarkable.
Re-map and adjust
Progress is reviewed with you, including against repeat brain maps. Protocols are adjusted as you go, and neurofeedback is paired with trauma therapy when the plan calls for it.
Alongside Trauma Therapy
Where Neurofeedback Fits in a Trauma Plan
At Connect Clinical Services, neurofeedback is offered alongside EMDR, Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing at one practice, so a plan can change sequence without a referral out. Some clients start with neurofeedback to work on hyperarousal or sleep while trauma therapy continues. Others add it later, or not at all.
Neurofeedback does not explain why a pattern developed. That is the work of therapy, which is why the two are planned together here. Read more in neurofeedback or EMDR for trauma and neurofeedback for PTSD, or see our trauma therapy page.
| What people ask about | What we can say honestly |
|---|---|
| Hyperarousal after trauma | Training aims at a calmer baseline so that trauma therapy feels more tolerable. Whether and how quickly that happens varies. |
| Sleep | Sleep is a goal clients commonly name first. It is not something we can promise. |
| Anxiety | Training targets the patterns your own map shows, used alongside therapy rather than as a stand-alone answer. |
| Attention and focus | A qEEG can show patterns but does not diagnose ADHD. The research on neurofeedback for attention is mixed, and we make no promise about attention or ADHD symptoms. |

Cost and Payment
What Neurofeedback Costs Here
Connect Clinical Services is private pay and does not bill insurance. Neurofeedback is a course of work, not a single appointment, so read this table as a commitment rather than one session fee.
| Step | Length | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation call, phone or Zoom | 15 minutes | No charge |
| Neurofeedback assessment | 45 to 60 minutes | $150 |
| qEEG brain mapping | 75 to 90 minutes | $1,200 |
| Training sessions | Typically 20 to 40 across a course | Quoted on your call |
The brain map comes before any training and is a paid step, not part of the consultation call. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. You pay at the time of service and can request a superbill to submit to your insurer; what comes back, if anything, depends on your plan’s out-of-network benefit.
