Interested in putting neurofeedback into your practice?
It's a powerful modality. Clients like doing it, and they like having an alternative to meds.
Psychiatrists like having an effective alternative to meds also, and like seeing tangible progress in refractory patients. It generates cash flow for a practice.
But there are a number of decisions and steps to get it started in a practice.
We've helped psychiatrists, psychologists and organizations implement neurofeedback faster, and with less effort. If you you'd like to discuss how we can help, email or call Michael Cohen, mcoheneeg@yahoo.com or 561-747-0565.
What clinicians say about Michael Cohen, Neurofeedback Solutions
"Mike has been an invaluable resource to me in developing the neurofeedback program at the NeuroDevelopment Center. He was also quite helpful with the task of determining the most appropriate authors for the Child and Adolescent Clinics of North America special issue on neurofeedback. He seems to know virtually everyone in the field, and has discerning judgment in knowing who can be helpful with what. He is knowledgeable but cautious and realistic about new developments in the field and about new equipment options. (He does not subscribe to the new brain gadget of the month club!) He also has a nose for the business side of the neurofeedback enterprise and good common business sense. Recently I called him for advice on two possible new locations for our Center. His response was acute and enormously helpful. I'm confident that his consulting service will be a great benefit to many in the field. "
Larry Hirshberg, Ph.D. Neurodevelopmental Centers, Providence, RI
Re: An advanced skills course in Neurofeedback. "Having co-taught this course on two occasions with Mike, I can tell you that Mike is a terrific teacher. He seamlessly integrates the clinical with the technical aspects of our work. You will learn how to get the most out of the software -- how to use your eyes, ears, brain and clinical judgment to know what to look for on the screens, what to look for in your client, and what to do with all those keys on your keyboard. Let's face it, to do this work effectively and confidently, we have to be good clinicians and good technicians. This is the course that will help you put it all together"
Edward Jacobs, Ph.D., Londonderry, NH, Author of ADHD: Helping Parents Help their Children.
In regards to helping set up the American Psychiatric Association workshop:
" A very special acknowledgement to Mike, my co-chair. It's amazing how you do it, with all the burdens of your other work. In fact, you have been responsive and so easy to work with, I'm profoundly touched."
Thomas M Brod MD, DFAPA,
Los Angeles CA
Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA
"Michael is dynamic and knowledgeable. He makes complicated material understandable, taking a very step by step approach. He can work with beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. He's not only skilled as a teacher but he has a wide knowledge of equipment without necessarily being locked in to any one approach. He's been instrumental in helping our practice grow over the last several years."
Barry Belt, Licensed Psychologist, Certified School Psychologist,
"Mike has been the single most valuable resource in my foray into the
field of neurofeedback. As a teacher, Mike listens carefully and
delivers his message in as many ways as needed for his students to
learn. As a consultant, Mike can analyze a situation, technical or
strategic, and make a series of recommendations, honestly examining the
advantages and disadvantages of each. As a resource for information and
networking in the field, Mike has no peer--he talks to everyone, the
newcomers, the veterans, the researchers and the entrepreneurs--and he
takes the time to understand what each is up to. In summary, when I
have an idea or a question related to neurofeedback, Mike is the first
person I think of to contact."
David A. Mitnick, M.D., Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist,
The Center for Neurofeedback and Integrative Health, Inc., Paramus, New Jersey
Mike is a valuable resource for clinicians who are just getting started as well as for experienced professionals. He has a superb understanding of the different models for doing neurofeedback and is knowlegeable about the advantages and disadvantages of the variety of equipment on the market. Mike is a compassionate guy who has a gift in being able to communicate complex ideas to one's level of understanding.

"I really like your new website. . . This is one of the best information sites I have seen and I will direct prospective clients there. So many questions can be answered in a trip through your site."
Richard Dombrowski, Ph.D., Lansing, MI
"We have found Michael's insights and theoretical model to be invaluable to us in our very active practice. His perspective has provided a framework to further our understanding and use of neurofeedback. He's been an amazingly knowledgeable resource for us. Phone consultations have not only furthered our grasp of the field, increased our confidence level in our own work, but inspired us with our clients, which is the reason we're here anyway.
Avery Bratt, Ph.D. and Laura Bratt, , AHA Psychological Services, Kansas City, KS
"I continue to get a LOT out of the phone forums (a series of monthly interviews with leaders in neruofeedback by Mike Cohen). Excellent interviews and information. The forum helps keep me informed of the exciting and important work going on in the field of neurofeedback. Also, I just visited your new website. It looks terrific! Patients often ask me for resources to learn about neurofeedback. It's good to know that I can add another link to my own website.
Dr. Stephen Rothenberg, Framingham, MA.
Over the span of several months Mike has provided me with critical information relative to specific cases, and with regard to general practice procedures. You helped me gain enhanced understanding of various underlying concepts related to brain functioning, EEG reading, protocol suggestions, and technical assistance. I was particularly grateful for your responsiveness, patience and willingness to make yourself available despite your busy schedule. Many thanks!
Susan Parente, Psy.D., Montclair, NJ
"Mike Cohen's skills and ability to teach those skills are a valuable resource to anyone looking to learn Neurofeedback."
