What is Neurofeedback? When the output of a system is fed back to itself, there is a corresponding corrective effect. In this way, neurofeedback training is sort of like holding a mirror up to your brain and central nervous system. When your brain sees its behavior and patterning more clearly, it naturally starts to make beneficial adjustments. New healthy brain patterns are formed while patterns that lead to unnecessary suffering or sub-optimal performance are bypassed.
NeurOptimal Neurofeedback tracks the brain's millisecond-by-millisecond electrical activity. The software reads 256 data points of electrical output from the scalp per second. When sub-optimal patterning is detected, an alert is sent to the brain through interruptions in auditory input. These interruptions cue the brain to pay attention to what's happening habitually and to make changes in the direction of coherence, harmony, and balance. Through the process, we can reset our mental and emotional patterns, relieve a host of brain-related disorders, and improve how we experience ourselves and life.
LENS Neurofeedback uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate brainwave activity and restore brain flexibility and responsiveness. Instead of training parts of the brain to produce desired brainwave patterns, LENS improves overall performance by slightly altering the brain waves before sending them back to the patient's brain. We are hypersensitive to our dominant brain waves, and when brain waves are sent back to the brain at a slight offset, the waves lose amplitude and break up dysfunctional patterns. This methodology treats a wide range of ailments in all types of patients, including young children.
The ultimate goal of LENS is to encourage more flexibility in neural functioning. Therefore, it is considered an essential alternative to chemical therapies for chronic problems such as anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, PTSD, and depression.
Low-Level Laser Therapy penetrates the skull to aid damaged neurological tissue directly. Low-Level Laser also helps repair neurological pathways, enabling patients to restore clarity of thinking, a sense of well-being, and calmness. In many cases, Low-Level Laser for PTSD is a crucial adjunct therapy for establishing renewed mental clarity and emotional health.
Testimonials
I went to Colin for Neurofeedback while dealing with the stress of working for a startup. I was having difficulty sleeping, had anxiety, and felt stressed out. The sessions with Colin helped alleviate the stress, reduced my anxiety, and allowed me to have restful sleep. As a result, I feel sharper and more focused at work resulting in improved business results! Highly recommended.

I had been taking Xanax regularly for over a year. Since I started seeing Colin, I have taken Xanax twice.
Laura, 36 years old - Boulder, CO
Neurofeedback is just awesome. There’s plenty of research and testimonials on that. So, what makes Colin so special? He has been wonderful to work with! Very kind, compassionate, and personable. Colin has really seen and understood me in what I have been going through. And he has demonstrated insight, skill, and creativity in delivering neurofeedback, meeting the needs of my very sensitive nervous system.
In addition to neurofeedback, Colin introduced multiple complimentary healing resources and strategies -- some he utilizes simultaneously in session. And many options are provided for supporting deeper neurological changes between sessions, dealing with the daily intensity of emotions and stimulation, and increasing more relaxed recovery states.
I can confidently say this has had the most profound therapeutic impact on my recovery in the four years of struggling with an acquired brain injury.
Since beginning neurofeedback, I have experienced a significant decrease in anxiety, sensory overload, seizures, and sleep disturbances… and an incredible increase in relaxation, confidence, mental clarity, and nervous system regulation. As a result, I can now engage again in daily activities with much more joy and an improved sense of well-being.
I am so grateful to have found Colin! He is just the right neurofeedback guy for me.
Josie, 50 years old - Boulder, CO
As a professional cyclist and Tour de France competitor, I am always looking for an edge to improve my performance. During the session with Colin, I experienced a relaxed state like never before which has helped me to further improve my mental game. Looking forward to my next session!

Colin Barber is a phenomenal human being, and Neurofeedback has been the most helpful and supportive element of my healing process. I started working with Colin to address chronic TBI, ocular migraines, and PTSD. My nervous system was so overwhelmed that I had to take an 8-month medical leave from law school. Several doctors told me that I would not be able to recover enough to complete my degree. But I started doing Neurofeedback, and I am happy to say that I defied all expectations and was able to finish my degree in December 2021. Neurofeedback helped with anxiety, depression, migraines, night terrors, and appetite. I have done almost every healing modality: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Ketamine Infusions, TMS, etc. Neurofeedback is by far the most effective and easiest treatment I have ever received. I cannot recommend Colin’s services enough; he literally saved my life.
Blair, 36 years old - Boulder, Colorado
I booked a 90-minute session with Colin because of Hypothyroidism and elevated TSH levels, despite medication to lower my levels. After ONE session with Colin, I was thrilled to find out my labs went from THS levels of 4.6 (danger zone) to of 1.14 (perfect). Colin deeply understands the connection between Thyroid and Anxiety, but is also a skilled therapist who actively listens, is present, and goes on your healing journey with you. I cant wait to see Colin again next week!
Laura, 36 years old - Denver, Colorado
After my first Neurofeedback session with Colin, I felt a deep sense of peace and calm. Before receiving Neurofeedback, my nervous system was fried due to not sleeping well and challenging life circumstances. After each session, I felt like I had just woken up from a good night's rest. I noticed early on that I lost interest in drinking wine. My mind is more clear, and I notice that I remain calm in situations that used to cause me a lot of stress. My base level is much more relaxed, and no longer in a chronic state of fight or flight.

It's remarkable. Purely after my first session with Colin, I noticed an increase in my ability to organize my thoughts and make better choices. I am also able to regulate anxiety much more easily.

I have never slept better. I am thinking more clearly, and, without even thinking about it, I have not had a drink since I started receiving Neurofeedback. Thank you so much!

Neurofeedback has dramatically improved my life. Since I started working with Colin, I am much more capable of staying present and regulated in my marriage and family life. I literally don't know where I, or my family, would be without this type of support.
