Do you accept insurance?

Brain Balance is not a medical program and does not provide a diagnosis, nor is it covered by health insurance. Our staff are all trained and certified through Brain Balance, and can receive additional certifications as Board Certified Cognitive Coaches, and Behavior Management through outside accrediting agencies.

Is there any research behind the program?

Harvard University’s McLean Hospital completed a study which demonstrated that the Brain Balance Program is as effective as stimulant medication in alleviating ADHD symptoms among children. Cambridge Brain Sciences also collaborated with Brain Balance on a study the results of which show that children who completed three months of the Brain Balance Program displayed significant improvements in cognition, particularly in areas of memory, reasoning, verbal ability, and concentration. Research published in the Journal of Mental Health and Clinical Psychology found that the Brain Balance Program is an effective, non-drug option for improving mental well-being, specifically in areas including overall happiness, emotional functioning, anxiety and social engagement.
