Conditions We Treat

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel like constant worry, being overwhelmed, and stressed out. This is the overactivation of the nervous system, the fight, flight, freeze response. By addressing how the brain responds to fear and stress, relief and regulation become achievable.

Depression

Depression often shows up as emotional heaviness, disconnection, or a sense of moving through life on empty. By strengthening the brain’s capacity for motivation, resilience, and pleasure, meaningful engagement and energy can be rebuilt.

ADHD

ADHD affects focus, concentration, and impulse control, but it is rooted in how the brain processes attention and stimulation. With the right training approach, problem-solving, prioritizing, clarity, and consistency are achievable.

Autism Spectrum

Autism reflects a unique way the brain processes information, picks up on social cues, communicates, and receives sensory input. With training the brain, strengths can be maximized and challenges better understood.

Treatment Solutions We Offer

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you recognize and change the thought patterns that shape your emotions and actions. Automatic negative thoughts can happen so quickly that they feel true. CBT teaches you how to identify the negative thought patterns that create negative feelings and behaviors.

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a brain-based form of biofeedback that helps regulate how your brain functions. Today whole-brain training targets the networks and hubs that keep your brain connected and balanced. Stress, trauma, injury, and genetics can disrupt these patterns, leading to challenges with mood, focus, and decision-making. Neurofeedback helps retrain the brain toward healthier regulation, supporting clearer thinking, emotional balance, and lasting change.

LENS

Low Energy Neurofeedback System, directly stimulates biochemical changes that help the brain self-regulate, organize and calm down. A small electrode is placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity and deliver a brief, low-energy signal that disrupts the dominant frequency under the sensor. LENS can support improvements in anxiety, depression, mood, energy, focus, insomnia, and mental clarity.

Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt over time. The brain contains billions of neurons and supporting cells that are constantly communicating and forming new connections. While the brain can sometimes get stuck in certain patterns, it is shaped by our life experiences, environment, and behaviors, and can continue to develop through learning and practice throughout your life.

What Our Clients Say:

Claire BOver 2 years ago (Yelp)
Leigh and Sally are so knowledgeable, friendly and amazing! In just 7 sessions we saw significant changes in our son. He was more focused (he has ADHD), calmer and less anxious, his communication was clearer as well. I can't wait to see where we go from here. It feels so promising for the first time in a long time. We had tried neurotherapy in the past (a different state) for a long time and did not see the improvements during that time we saw in just these 7 sessions. The expertise that Leigh and Sally bring is priceless and I can't wait to see the future growth in my son. Thank you for making such an impactful change.
Travis D. Over 5 years ago (Yelp)
Mrs. Leigh Richardson is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have been coming to her for years, and I am truly thankful for her. The Brain Performance Center has really assisted with mental clarity and awareness. Thank you again Mrs. Richardson for all that you are doing for people.
Sheneka ROver 7 years ago (Yelp)
The Brain Performance Center is on the cutting edge of medical intervention. In an era of medications and surgery, it is imperative to have access to treatment that addresses the root cause. Since starting sessions with Leigh and Sally, I have noticed a drastic improvement in my ability to stay on task and follow through to completion goals that have, in the past, taken months - years to complete. My brain has gone from overactive to synchronized and steady and it feels great. Thanks BPC
Heather E. Over 4 years ago (Yelp)
This place helped me so much. When I first started, I was having panic attacks 24-7. Within the first few sessions, Leigh was able to calm me down and my anxiety improved tremendously with each session. I would say I've had at least a 90% improvement and feel much more equipped to handle anxiety and stress when it comes. We also worked on other things I was struggling with like migraines and sleep issues. I am so grateful for the experience.
Elle ROver 11 years ago (Yelp)
The director, Leigh, is extremely thorough and makes the science easy to understand. She has a warm manner and made my treatments pleasant and enjoyable. Best of all, the treatment worked – I came in with a severe problem and now my symptoms are nearly all gone. I can't speak highly enough of the center. Neurofeedback is fascinating and Leigh and her staff do it very well.
Lourdes RUpdated over 8–9 years ago (Yelp)
I cannot begin to thank The Brain Performance Center for truly making an impactful improvement that was seen by school system and we saw in our son who is 15 years old. Academically he soared, his sense of confidence soared as well so much so that his assistant principal and teachers wanted to know what were we doing differently that was causing this change in only 3 months. I cannot begin to express my sincere amazement at the progress my son has made academically thanks to the neuro-feedback sessions he has had at the Brain Performance Center. Both Leigh and Sally are truly passionate professionals who want to provide the Best Care and Results!
Debra B. Over 6 years ago (Yelp)
I'm more than pleased with the great symptom relief I've achieved after less than 2 months neurofeedback therapy. Leigh Richardson is a compassionate professional that knows brain health like no one I've ever met and I've worked in the medical sector for years. I highly recommend The Brain Performance Center and all staff.
Dani LOver 7 years ago (Yelp)
I hope there's plenty of space to do this review. There are very few cures in life for those of us challenged with an array of mental and emotional health issues. Through intensive LENS and Loretta treatments, my life transformed. I am at peace now, able to make solid decisions, and live in gratitude.
C. L.Over 6 years ago (Yelp)
I literally cannot say enough about what this treatment has done for my son. Depression and anxiety lifted dramatically after 8–12 sessions. Leigh's therapy has been life-altering and life-saving. Don't give this a second thought. Do it.

My experience with Dr. Leigh and her team has been life changing. I received treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and I have been given the greatest gift of the clearest ability to think, regulate emotions, and stay in the present through the work done here utilizing neurofeedback and biofeedback. The staff are kind, compassionate, intelligent, and able to walk with you and think critically through the highly personal process of renewing the mind through the science-backed discovery of neuroplasticity. This was a healing experience not just mentally, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually as well.

We began researching this treatment for anxiety and depression. After a call with a few other places and then Dr. Leigh, we decided to move forward with treatment at The Brain Performance Center. I am so thankful we selected this practice. We have seen huge improvements in overall mood as well as anxiety and depression symptoms. They are willing to be flexible and work with our schedule. They are always open to adjusting treatment plans based on current symptoms. I highly recommend this practice.

Leigh has been my saving grace during a debilitating TBI recovery. I came to her suffering with extreme anxiety and desperation to find direction and guidance during a time where I lacked an appropriate care team. Our weekly sessions guided me into making logical decisions and helped me take decisive actions so I could find better doctors for myself. I'm glad to say I am now at the point where I'm reintegrating back into society. She provides an optimistic outlook, and is a great motivator when I lack the will power to do anything. Wonderful counselor, with the feel of a life coach.
Cindy McMann 1 year ago (Google)
So grateful for The Brain Performance Center! Dr. Leigh and the entire team are so passionate about their work because of their own life experiences. We started our daughter with anxiety treatment including both counseling and neurofeedback when she was in middle school. She is now a thriving soon to be Junior in high school! I myself can vouch for the amazing positive impact neurofeedback has provided me with recent bouts of anxiety. Thanks to the customized plan Dr. Leigh and her team developed I not only feel like I’ve regained my confidence and peace but now I’m a better version of myself!

The office went above and beyond to ameliorate a scheduling issue due to miscommunication. Dr. Richardson offered to meet me on a Sunday since I was from out of town! The office staff were amazing and were invested in my success. They genuinely care and wanted to share information and resources. A quality experience!

I have been visiting The Brain Performance Center for about a month and a half getting treated for panic attacks and anxiety. I can say that I have seen an improvement in my mental health, insomnia, and being able to avoid my panic attacks with neurofeedback treatment and the support of Dr. Leigh and Sally, and clinicians Ami and Melissa. They are all so kind, understanding, and so helpful offering advice and encouraging you in the right direction. Very grateful for this place and the work they do! Thank you!
Lydia Stuart 2 years ago (Google)
Its amazing what a little talk therapy will do for your soul. After just 3 sessions with Leigh I have better clarity and confidence in myself. I have already started pushing the negative thoughts far away and replacing my thoughts with healthier, wonderful positive thinking energy. Her calm soothing voice gives me comfort. Her suggestions have helped me reach a greater outlook for a future life. I know she will see this so, Thank You Leigh, you are making a difference for me. I look forward to our Tuesday mornings

I can not say enough good about my experience with Dr. Leigh and the Brain Performance Center. The treatments worked better than anything I have ever tried in the past. I was able to get off of my anti-anxiety medication and my anxiety and depression is completely under control. I am actually going to miss going and seeing her. It was like a counseling session wrapped up into the treatments. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Leigh to anyone and without hesitation can say that she is the best in the business!!
Olga Alvarado
Dr. Leigh has helped me get through a lot. She helps me look at things from different angles, and I love how she's supportive but still holds me accountable in a gentle way. It's really helped me grow.
Marcie Comiskey
I started at The Brain Performance Center with both myself and my 3-year-old daughter, and the results honestly surprised me. After just one session, I noticed a real shift in my daughter. She was noticeably calmer and more connected with others- especially her peers-in a way I hadn't seen before. As for me, I had a single BRT session, and the impact was just as significant. I'm a mom of four, and right after my session, three of my kids got sick-normally that would send my stress through the roof. But this time, it didn't. I felt steady, clear, and fully capable of handling everything without that usual overwhelm. I moved through my to-do list faster, with more focus, while still being present for my family and work. What stood out most was how effortless it felt. I didn't feel like I was "trying" to be different-it was more like my body was regulated and naturally knew what to do. My daughter is having her 3rd session and I just finished my 2nd as I write this review. I was genuinely blown away by the change after just one session, and I'm excited to continue.
