Here's How We Help You
Here you’ll find practical answers to you most important questions about how we approach and treat individual therapy through our specialized therapy services as a means to bring healing and balance back to your life.
What is play therapy?
Play therapy can be a powerful tool for helping children heal and grow with your support. Play therapy is a fun and engaging method that helps children express their feelings and cope with difficult situations through play. It’s important because it enables kids to communicate emotions, encourages creativity, and builds self-esteem.Â
In play therapy, a trained therapist uses toys and activities to help children work on their issues in a comfortable environment. To support your child in play therapy, be patient, stay involved, encourage play at home, and be open and understanding.
What is neurofeedback?
Fort Worth Counseling and Intervention offers a gentle, non-invasive brain training method called Passive Infrared Hemoencephalography (pIR HEG) neurofeedback to improve brain function. This technique does not involve electrodes or any direct interaction with the brain. Instead, clients wear a lightweight headband that measures the heat emitted from the forehead, specifically the prefrontal cortex area, which is associated with higher-order thinking. While wearing the headband, clients engage in a straightforward learning task, such as watching a movie, as the system monitors temperature changes in the prefrontal region. The software provides real-time feedback based on these temperature shifts, which reflect blood flow and neural activity. Through this process, the brain is trained to self-regulate, increasing activity in the prefrontal cortex while reducing overactivity in the limbic system, the brain’s emotional center.
The prefrontal cortex is critical for executive functions, such as planning, decision-making, problem-solving, reasoning, and impulse control. It also supports social behavior, working memory, and language processing. The limbic system, on the other hand, includes structures like the amygdala and hippocampus, which govern emotions, motivation, memory, and the body’s fight, flight, or freeze response to stress or perceived threats. By enhancing prefrontal activity and calming the limbic system, neurofeedback helps clients achieve better emotional balance and cognitive control.
Clients typically describe the experience as engaging, comfortable, and even enjoyable. Most notice improvements after approximately five sessions, with changes such as reduced stress, anxiety, anger, or depression, and improved focus or emotional resilience. The full benefits often develop gradually over 12 to 20 sessions, depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Many clients report feeling calmer in situations that previously triggered intense emotional reactions, such as trauma-related stimuli, and they often develop the ability to shift long-standing behavioral patterns. For example, individuals may find they respond more thoughtfully to challenges or maintain greater control over impulsive reactions.
The pIR HEG method is particularly appealing because it requires no medication or invasive procedures, and the sessions are tailored to be user-friendly. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, and the process is designed to be a low-stress, positive experience. Over time, clients often report not only symptom relief but also an enhanced ability to manage their emotions and make meaningful, lasting changes in their daily lives.

What is neurofeedback?
Couples therapy services are to help couples improve their relationship by addressing challenges and conflicts. Through couples therapy, partners can learn new communication skills, gain a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and perspectives, and work towards rebuilding trust and intimacy.Â
A trained therapist conducts this type of therapy structure, typically involving both partners working together. For example, the couple will work to identify and address issues that may be causing stress, tension, or discord in their relationship. Likewise, couples therapy is perfect for addressing various issues, such as infidelity, communication problems, financial conflicts, and other sources of relationship stress.Â
With the guidance and support of a skilled therapist, couples can work together to overcome obstacles and create a stronger, more satisfying relationship.
