Episode 14: What the heck is Neurofeedback? featuring Susan Dunaway

Stuff You Wish You Learned in Grad School with Jennifer Agee, LCPC

During this episode, I talk with Susan Dunaway (she/her), LCPC, BCN about Neurofeedback. It’s something we’ve all heard of, but don’t necessarily understand. I ask the questions we want to know!

Susan has been a therapist for over 20 years and is the co-owner of Amend Neurocounseling. Amend specializes in neurofeedback, a tool that helps the brain regulate attention, mood, and energy. They combine neurofeedback with talk therapy, parenting work and couples work.

Her clients deal with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and post-concussion symptoms. A large part of her practice also addresses screen-based issues in children and teens.

Susan is also a sought-after speaker for educators, parents, and the general community on screen-related issues.
