What is LENS?
LENS
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a gentle, non-invasive form of neurofeedback that helps the brain "reset" itself for improved function and well-being.
🧠 How LENS Neurofeedback Works
Brainwave Monitoring
Small sensors are gently placed on the scalp to measure your brain's electrical activity.Signal Feedback
The system delivers a tiny, non-invasive electromagnetic signal—much weaker than a cellphone's—back to the brain, based on its own activity.Brain Reset
This subtle feedback helps the brain recognize and release stuck patterns, promoting natural self-regulation and improved function.Positive Outcomes
Clients often experience benefits like reduced anxiety, enhanced focus, better sleep, and improved emotional balance. Many clients find LENS helpful for addressing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, concussion, ADHD, sleep issues, and more.Sessions are quick—often just a few minutes—and clients typically experience changes without needing to exert effort or learn new skills during treatment. Because LENS works at the brain’s own pace, it is tailored to each individual’s unique nervous system and healing process.
Why Try LENS Neurofeedback?
LENS can be a powerful option for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or chronically dysregulated—especially when traditional talk therapy or medication hasn't been enough. Unlike other approaches that require effort, practice, or introspection, LENS works passively with the brain's own signals to gently support healing and balance.
People often try LENS because they are looking for:
Relief from persistent symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, brain fog, headaches, or sleep issues
A non-invasive, medication-free option with minimal side effects
Support for trauma and nervous system regulation, especially when talk therapy feels too activating
Enhanced clarity, focus, and mood—even for those who aren’t in crisis but want to feel more balanced and present
A gentle and time-efficient therapy—sessions are brief and require no effort from the client
LENS is especially helpful for individuals whose nervous systems are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze modes. It doesn't require reliving painful memories or “working harder”—it simply helps the brain find its way back to equilibrium.
