Enhanced Focus on Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Memory Loss

We’ve expanded our website’s “Conditions We Treat”  and FAQ sections to reflect our expanded services and focus areas. Here, you’ll find detailed answers about our approaches to treating Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and memory loss.

Explore the Brain Like Never Before

A healthy brain requires all these areas to work together effectively. When a specific region is not functioning optimally, it can disrupt the delicate balance and contribute to emotional and behavioral problems.

How does each part of the brain effect behavior (1)

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobe is essential for regulating emotions, planning, and decision-making, making it key in controlling impulses and social behavior. Dysfunction here can manifest as poor judgment, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts, often linked to mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and ADHD.

  • Planning & Decision Making
  • Problem-Solving
  • Judgment & Impulse Control
  • Personality & Social Behavior

Temporal Lobe

The temporal lobe plays a pivotal role in processing emotions like fear and aggression while also being critical for memory and language. Issues in this lobe can disrupt communication and emotional regulation, contributing to mental health challenges, including anxiety disorders, memory problems, and schizophrenia.

  • Hearing & Auditory Processing
  • Memory
  • Language Comprehension

Parietal Lobe

The parietal lobe integrates sensory information to aid in spatial awareness and body knowledge, influencing how we navigate and interact with our environment. While not a direct player in emotion processing, its functionality impacts daily life and behavior, and dysfunctions are sometimes associated with neglect-based disorders.

  • Sensory Processing
  • Navigation & Body Awareness
  • Attention

Occipital Lobe

Primarily responsible for vision, the occipital lobe indirectly influences emotional processing through visual perception. Visual impairments can lead to difficulties in safely navigating and interacting with the world, potentially contributing to mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

  • Visual 
  • Color & Motion Detection
  • Visual Memory

Our Clients Say….

The Tim Project

Our Commitment to Prevention and Recovery

Tim Prummer’s life in Sandpoint, Idaho, was filled with community, laughter, and the love of a tight-knit family. A natural leader on the cross country and track teams, Tim was known for his humor and his heartfelt encouragement to others. Despite these strengths, Tim struggled with underlying challenges, including academic difficulties, sleep problems, and anxiety, which eventually led him to seek relief in ways that proved harmful.

Tragically, Tim’s struggles ended in November 2022 when he succumbed to an accidental drug overdose at just 28 years old. This profound loss highlighted a critical gap in available resources and support for those battling similar issues. 

Motivated by Tim’s story, North Idaho Neurotherapy has established The Tim Project to offer hope and specialized care to individuals facing drug and alcohol addictions, providing them with the neurotherapeutic support that could have made a difference in Tim’s life.

The Levi Project

Empowering Autistic Individuals Through Neurotherapy

At North Idaho Neurotherapy, we believe in harnessing the power of neurotherapy to enhance lives. The Levi Project, inspired by the remarkable progress of a young boy named Levi, is dedicated to helping the autistic community thrive.

Levi's Transformation

Diagnosed with moderate autism at a young age, Levi’s journey with neurotherapy has led to significant improvements in communication, social interaction, and emotional expression.

After initial hesitation, Levi’s mother chose to pursue neurotherapy, hoping to improve his quality of life without altering his unique personality. Eight months into treatment, the results have been nothing short of inspiring:

  • Enhanced Communication: Levi now speaks in sentences and engages more with others.
  • Regulated Behaviors: Notable decrease in self-soothing pacing, showing increased calmness and presence.
  • Improved Focus and Adaptability: More attentive to tasks and smoother transitions between activities.

Join The Levi Project

Levi’s story is a testament to the potential of neurotherapy to bring out the best in those on the autism spectrum, helping them integrate more fully with the world around them.

Yes, our services can be covered by some insurance. We will provide the necessary forms for you to submit to your insurance provider. We understand the importance of accessible care and offer several billing options, including Care Credit, and assistance with Superbill submissions for reimbursement. Contact our clinic for further details.

Who is an ideal candidate for neurotherapy?

Neurotherapy is suitable for individuals of all ages seeking to improve their mental health, cognitive functions or manage conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and stress. If you're looking for a drug-free, holistic approach to enhance your well-being, here it is!

How long will it take to see the results of neurotherapy?

Like building muscle through exercise, your brain strengthens with each neurofeedback session. Results can become apparent over time as your brain learns to self-regulate, offering lasting, medication-free improvements.

What should I expect during a neurotherapy session?

During neurotherapy sessions, it’s common to experience a range of emotions as the brain processes and integrates feedback, building new neural pathways. Some clients report feeling fatigued, experiencing headaches, or encountering fuzzy thinking and emotional vulnerability. This is a normal part of the healing process, and our team is here to support you through these transitions. We encourage you to discuss any significant effects with us, as well as with your current medical doctor or therapist, to ensure comprehensive care.

What are the potential side effects of neurotherapy?

While neurotherapy is designed to be a low-risk and comfortable treatment, like any therapeutic procedure, it may cause mild side effects in some individuals. These are usually temporary as your brain adapts to the therapy:

  • Headaches or Dizziness: Occasionally, clients might experience slight headaches or a brief sense of dizziness following a session.
  • Temporary Cognitive Changes: Some individuals may notice short-term cognitive changes, such as moments of forgetfulness or difficulty focusing, as the brain adjusts to new patterns of activity.
  • Muscle Tension: During sessions, you may inadvertently tense your muscles, which can lead to temporary stiffness or discomfort.
  • Variations in Energy Levels: It's not uncommon to feel unusually tired or to experience a dip in energy after a neurofeedback session, as your brain expends energy adjusting.

Emotional Sensitivity: As the therapy progresses, some clients might experience fluctuations in their emotional state, including increased anxiety or changes in mood.

Empower yourself to take the first step towards a healthier mind and a more fulfilling life.
