How we can help?

What is Therapeutic Assessment or TA?

At Elumind Centres, we believe in treating the root cause of an individual’s symptoms and wish to provide them with long-term relief from their mental health conditions. To do so, we must first identify a person’s identity, her/his living conditions, goals, and challenges, upbringing, the support around that person’s traumatic experiences past history, general health, and non-psychiatric illnesses, nutrition, level of exercise, quality of sleep, the history of psychiatric conditions and the effectiveness of any therapy the individual may have undergone in the past. This process takes time, but the better we know our clients, the better we can serve them. TA or therapeutic assessment is an interview conducted by one of our clinicians for all of our new clients. It incorporates the components of a regular psychiatric or psychological assessment but emphasizes understanding our clients and envisioning their life. The session duration is around 60 minutes, providing our clients with a safe and non-judgmental environment to express themselves without feeling rushed. As the name of the assessment suggests, our goal is to understand how we can best help each client and meet her/his therapeutic needs. The end goal of our TA is to develop a strong understanding of our clients and their lives in order to provide them with a diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan. Read more>

What is QEEG Brain Mapping?

QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) brain mapping is a comprehensive analysis of individual frequencies or frequency bandwidths that make up your brain’s electrical activity. Looking at 55 brain areas, we identify both strengths and deficiencies in brain networks and the same in their interconnections. Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) is a quick and efficient tool that allows us to gather data and diagnostic information on your brain. It also allows to gain a better understanding of how your brain cells’ communication relate to behaviours, emotions and overall functioning. This then allows us to treat targeted areas of the brain and address underlying issues that may not have been noticed otherwise.  Advances in LORETA (Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography) and SKIL QEEG allow us to create a roadmap for the most accurate approach. Then, we use this information in neurofeedback brain training to optimize your brain function. Read more>

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that directs recurring magnetic energy pulses at specific regions of the brain. What is TMS used for? This procedure is used as a gentle treatment for a wide range of brain health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, pain, and addiction. What to expect TMS requires a series of treatment sessions to be effective. Generally, sessions are carried out daily; five times a week for four to six weeks. Read more>

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a specialized therapy that uses cutting-edge brain wave technology to engage your brain in a journey that is enjoyable and empowering. It enables you to participate in your brain’s healing process and helps you improve and regulate your brain function. Neurofeedback is brain training and it draws upon neuroplasticity; your brain’s innate ability to change and optimize.Using highly specialized non-invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) equipment, Neurofeedback takes advantage of principles of operant conditioning (a reward-based system) to heal, train and maximize the brain’s optimal potential. In a way, neurofeedback is brain therapy (or brain training) and once your brain’s pathways have reached their potential in terms of efficiency, you may choose to complement it with our counselling services (also referred to as psychotherapy or mind/emotion therapy) Read more>

What is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback is a therapy that allows you to control and regulate your body’s physiological functions more effectively, thereby reducing excess nervous excitability in your body. Whether you want to take charge of your emotions, control pain signals in your body or as an athlete reach higher levels, taking charge of your physiology through biofeedback allows you to optimize your body’s nervous system and puts you fully in charge of your life. During a session, our experts attach non-invasive electrical sensors to your skin (finger sensors could also be used) through which you receive instant feedback on your body’s functions. The feedback can be in the form of an image, a flash of light, as well as sounds that represent your physiological functions such as heart and breathing rate, skin temperature, and muscle activity. Under normal circumstances, these functions occur subconsciously. Read more>
