NEUROLOGICAL SERVICES  

Hello!  I'm Dr. Laura Standridge, a licensed neurofeedback professional, chiropractor, virtual tutor, and mother of a child with brain-based challenges, dedicated to helping you address the root causes of your symptoms in order to get your life back.

WELCOME TO

Brain and Stem Neurological Services

One in four Americans is struggling with psychological disorders. At the Brain + Stem, we can help you identify what is blocking your way through a comprehensive assessment process. Then we will work with you to develop a customized home tutoring plan to get you back on track and ready to move forward. Let’s take that next step together.

Roadmaps, not labels.

Some worry that a diagnosis will be used as a label. And no one likes labels. Not what we do. For us, understanding the problem doesn’t mean you are getting a label. It means you are getting a map, with guideposts that point the way to the solution. Most often, our clients are relieved when they finally know what’s wrong. For many, it allows them to accept the challenge and move ahead. It can remove the confusion, and reduce the guilt or self-blame. Most importantly, it can increase your motivation to do the tough work of change.

“[EEG biofeedback] should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy, it would be universally accepted and widely used…It is a field to be taken seriously by all.”


-Frank H. Duffy, M.D., Professor and Neurologist, Harvard Medical School.

Order Matters

Brain + Stem ought to be called Stem + Brain, because that is the order of brain development and thus, brain healing. Coherent Neurofeedback makes use of the higher brain’s capacity for change to reshape brain networks in the cortex and cerebrum. The healer inside wants us to start at the Stem.

Learning

Learning Disorders are not reading, writing or calculating disorders, they are brain problems. Primitive reflex integration and neurofeedback are research proven ways to improve brain function. Emerging research is showing that remediating these reflexes before cortical brain training is most effective. 

Open Book

In the Journals

The prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics recently reviewed scientific evidence about non-medical treatments for ADHD.  Interestingly, ADHD and ADD respond more favorably to lower brain (stem, cerebellum, vestibular) interventions than higher brain.
