EMDR -
Amazingly Effective Emotional Healing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is simple, powerful, well-studied, and effective. With it, we heal horrible, haunting, memories; strengthen your confidence; and increase your overall well being.
Activate your brain’s natural capacity to release traumatic memories and calm emotional overreactions.
Get Emotionally Unstuck. Calm negative memories. Feel free.
BrainPaint® Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven way to improve the way you feel and function in the world by improving how your brain operates.
Think of your brain as a beautiful, powerful horse. A calm, well-trained, rider can control their horse to stay calm and go where the rider directs. An overwhelmed rider easily loses control of the horse when it spooks and bolts, leaving the rider trying not to be thrown and trampled! Ever have a day like that? BrainPaint® trains our powerful horse of a brain not to spook, bolt or shut down; to take us where we need to go, calmly, consistently, at the the right speed. BrainPaint®. LEARN HOW BRAINPAINT WORKS

I started going to the Better Minds Group in August of 2024. I started Biofeedback right away and it has changed my life. After doing the screening it was determined that I do Neuroptimal and after a handful of sessions it has truly changed my life. Traditional talk therapy can be hard for people and with the biofeedback, you don't have to talk about it. There is no other time in my week that I don't have some sort of break from the world around me. My temper is less, my anxiety is less, and my ability to cope is more. I don't bite my fingernails and I don't lose my cool with my two small children as often. Dr. Barkett and his team are outstanding. They are warm, funny, and caring. Not only has the biofeedback changed me, but they have too. I worked in the fire service for years, and during that time I saw some really uncomfortable things. Things that we don't think continue to mess with our daily lives but I am here to tell you that they do. And through biofeedback I have been able to heal the things I didn't consciously know were still hurting. I'm rambling at this point but words aren't seeming to do it justice. Give it a try. Seriously.

Words cannot begin to express the experience and compassion this whole team brings to the table. They have set the bar on what help looks like and should be. I’ve been a firefighter and paramedic for over 15 years. They helped me when I needed it most and through this treatment helped me identify trauma I didn’t know I carried. The whole team approach from therapy to biofeedback and their outreach with the fire and EMS community is second to none. Thank you for helping me! I highly recommend anyone come to Better Minds. Using the latest technology mixed with experience they build treatment for the individual. At no point was it akward. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and over all they will help you to be better.
