NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback · Gilbert, AZ

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback for the Whole Family, at Home or in Our Gilbert Office

Racing thoughts at bedtime. Trouble focusing. Feeling on edge even when nothing is wrong. Sometimes your brain gets stuck in patterns that are hard to shift on your own.

NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is a gentle, non-invasive way to help your brain settle, adjust and find its balance. You sit back, relax and listen to music. Your brain does the work.

And with Thrive's family home rental program, you can do it from your own couch, as often as you like, with everyone in your household.

Home rental: our most popular option

Most Thrive families choose to rent a NeurOptimal® system and train at home. It's the easiest way to fit brain training into real life.

  • The whole household can use it. Parents, kids and teens can all train on the same system.
  • Train as often as you want. There's no limit on sessions, so you can train daily if you like, on your own schedule.
  • No appointments or driving. Train in the evening, on weekends, or whenever fits your family's routine.
  • Simple to use. We show you exactly how to set up and run a session before you take it home.
  • Support whenever you need it. Questions while you're renting? Call or text us anytime.

Rentals start at one month, and you can continue as long as it's helping.

How it starts: you'll come to our Gilbert office for one appointment of about an hour. We'll walk you through the equipment, show you how to run a session, answer your questions and send you home ready to train.

Prefer to train with us? You can also book individual NeurOptimal® sessions at our Gilbert office. Some people start with an in-office session to try it before renting.

How it works

What is NeurOptimal® neurofeedback?

NeurOptimal® is a brain training system. Small sensors on your scalp and ears read your brain's electrical activity in real time. When the system notices a sudden shift, it briefly pauses the music or show you're enjoying.

That tiny pause works like a gentle nudge. It brings your brain's attention back to the present moment and gives it information about what it just did, and your brain uses that information to adjust on its own. No diagnosis is needed, and no one has to tell your brain what to do. There's nothing to practice and no way to get it wrong.

A short explainer from NeurOptimal® on how brain training works.

During a session

What does a session feel like?

You relax

Sit comfortably and listen to music, or watch a show. Kids often like the show option.

The music pauses

Now and then. That's the feedback working. You don't need to do anything.

Nothing goes in

The sensors only read activity. There's no electrical stimulation.

You feel relaxed

Most people go right back to their day.

How long does it take? About 30 minutes for adults and teens, about 20 minutes for kids.

Who uses brain training?

NeurOptimal® is safe for all ages, and families use it for all kinds of reasons. People often come to us wanting support with:

  • Managing everyday stress and relaxing more easily
  • Sleep management
  • Feeling calmer and more focused
  • Focus and follow-through at school and work
  • Feeling more confident and emotionally flexible
  • Coping better during hard seasons of life
  • Performance, including sports and test nerves
  • More good days than bad

Others simply want to rest better, think more clearly, or perform at their best at work, school or in sports.

NeurOptimal® is a wellness and brain training tool. It supports your brain's natural ability to regulate itself, and it is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. Many Thrive clients pair it with counseling.

Can we do brain training alongside therapy or medication?

Yes. Many Thrive families use NeurOptimal® alongside counseling or medication management. If you're working with a therapist, they can talk with you about how brain training might fit with the work you're already doing.
