Cathy River - What is NewMind

Speakers: Cathy River, Owner, NF Technician, Madison Brain Center

Cathy River: I'm Cathy River, a neurofeedback technician with the Madison Brain Center in Madison Wisconsin. We work with a variety of clients from infants to our oldest client who is 95 years old. Our clients come to us with a variety of issues from peak performance anxiety, post traumatic stress behavior issues, ADD, ADHD, traumatic brain injuries, post stroke recovery, chemo brain and sibling rivalries.

Cathy River: We were looking for a comprehensive neurofeedback system that offered technical support, continuing education, evaluation tools, and a way to provide QEEGs that were outstanding without having to be experts at reading them. After careful and time-consuming research, multiple conversations with various neurofeedback companies, and other neurofeedback clinicians. We chose NewMind, basically because every provider who was using them raved about them about the owners and everyone in the company. The whole tech department were awesome and had more than one person, which believe me comes in very handy. They also had a team of code designers who were committed to keeping the software up to date and state of the art. Pricing was affordable and tiered. The ability to provide cognitive performance testing was a big plus. And the fact that we could right away buy the QEEG Web Course and started our training right away and not have to spend thousands of dollars in travel or wait until the next course was offering was a big plus, especially over the holidays because we think we bought ours right around Thanksgiving. The three times a week Lunch and Learns that they have one of them of course, is a Dinner and Learn at six, my time, Central time. Was, and is, has been epic over the last five years, so we really love it.
