Understanding Your Teen’s Brain: The Key to Lasting Recovery
Your teen’s brain is the command center for everything they feel, experience, and do. When they struggle with mental health challenges or addiction, it’s not a personal failing—it’s their brain seeking balance.
At Horizon Recovery, we offer comprehensive neuroimaging and neurofeedback services designed specifically for adolescents. Rather than treating symptoms alone, we address the actual brain patterns that drive challenging behaviors and emotions.
“We make a mistake by thinking mental health is controlled by consciousness… but we ignore the actual physical reality of how the brain operates.” – Dr. Serin. Internationally Recognized Neuropsychologist & Teen Brain Health Pioneer
Our Brain-Based Approach
Based on your teen’s QEEG results, we create a customized program that trains their brain toward greater efficiency:
- 19-Channel Training: Unlike most facilities that use only 2-4 electrodes, our comprehensive approach targets up to 800-900 brain networks simultaneously
- Lasting Results: Similar to orthodontic treatment, the teeth can be permanently realigned if the braces are left in place long enough. With the brain, if the treatments and corrections are in place long enough, the brain can be permanently realigned.
- Multiple Benefits: While targeting specific issues like anxiety, benefits often include improved sleep, enhanced memory, better focus, and reduced stress
- Comfortable, Non-Invasive Sessions: No medication, no side effects—just your teen’s brain learning to function at its best

Bilateral Stimulation
Our stress-reduction technology offers immediate relief from emotional distress:
- 62% Stress Reduction: Research shows just 30 seconds of bilateral stimulation can significantly decrease stress levels
- Faster Recovery: Helps the body restore normal cortisol levels more quickly after stressful experiences
- User-Friendly Tool: A portable device your teen can use anytime they feel overwhelmed
- Pattern Interruption: Prevents stressful moments from becoming established trauma patterns
Why Choose Brain-Based Treatment for Your Teen
Beyond Traditional Talk Therapy and Medication
While traditional approaches have their place, they often only address symptoms rather than root causes:
- From Guesswork to Precision: We measure before we treat, ending the cycle of trial and error
- Addressing the Source: We target the specific brain networks responsible for troubling behaviors and emotions
- Reducing Medication Dependence: Many teens can reduce or eliminate medications as their brains become more efficient
- Breaking the Cycle: Unlike approaches that require indefinite treatment, our goal is lasting transformation

Adolescence: A Critical Window for Intervention
The teen years represent a crucial time when the right intervention can change a lifetime trajectory:
- Enhanced Neural Flexibility: Teen brains are still developing, making them especially responsive to neurofeedback
- Preventing Chronic Conditions: Early intervention can prevent temporary struggles from becoming lifelong diagnoses
- Neurological Restoration: Our methods can help reverse damage from substances like high-potency THC and vaping
- Identity Beyond Diagnosis: We don’t see your teen as their diagnosis—we see their potential for complete healing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive, involves no radiation, medication, or injections, and has no significant side effects. We’re simply reading your teen’s brain activity and helping it function more efficiently.
Though each teen is different, most require 20-40 neurofeedback sessions to achieve lasting results. We’ll provide a more specific estimate after completing their QEEG assessment.
Our neuroimaging and neurofeedback services enhance the effectiveness of therapy by optimizing brain function. Most teens continue with some therapy, but often find they need less intensive intervention as their brain function improves.
Many parents notice subtle improvements after 5-10 sessions, with more significant changes becoming apparent after 15-20 sessions. Because we’re creating lasting brain changes, improvements tend to be cumulative rather than temporary.
Most treatments focus on managing symptoms through medication or behavioral strategies. Our approach addresses the underlying brain patterns that drive those symptoms, creating the potential for true healing rather than ongoing management.
Many teens appreciate that neurofeedback doesn’t require them to talk about their feelings. We can explain it as similar to getting an X-ray for a broken ankle—we’re looking at how their brain is functioning to understand why they’re struggling, without blame or judgment.
