Dr. Zukiwski provides specialized psychological services for a wide range of disorders using brainmapping and neurofeedback (brainwave biofeedback). Measurement of brain activity can help reveal why you or your loved one is suffering from problems with mood, relationship, cognitive, or academic function. Once the abnormality in brain function is identified, brainwave biofeedback can likely be used to help retrain and normalize the brain activity.

Quote from the journal Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America:

Neurofeedback "meets the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry ‘Clinical Guidelines’ for treatment of ADHD, seizure disorders, anxiety (eg, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, phobias), depression, reading disabilities, and addictive disorders. This finding suggests that (neurofeedback) always should be considered as an intervention for these disorders by the clinician….Specific recommendations based on the body of empirical evidence currently available suggest that (neurofeedback) be considered by clinicians and parents as a first line treatment of ADHD when parents prefer not to use medication and as an empirically supported treatment choice when significant side effects or insufficient improvement occurs with medication.
