Who Offers Neurofeedback? 

Neurofeedback is not yet widespread. But a growing number of psychologists, Licensed Social Workers (LCSW's), marriage and family counselors, RN's, therapists, neuropsychologists and MD's offer it.  It is also offered by non-health professionals or unlicensed providers.

Many locations have relatively few neurofeedback clinicians.  St. Louis, Nashville and Atlanta are just three examples of good size cities that have few providers for their size.  New York City has approximately 10 or 12 providers. Even in Los Angeles, the number of clinicians is a small minority. The largest per capita locations for neurofeedback are Northampton, Massachusetts and Asheville, North Carolina.

Finding Providers On The Web
Check out the credentials and experience of the clinicians before you visit them.  Ask as many questions as you can. No web site provides a guarantee of someone's experience, training, knowledge or skill at using neurofeedback.  

eegspectrum.com/providers
The largest provider of professional training courses for neurofeedback.  They have some criteria for education and licensing to take their course and to become a member and be listed.  This includes a specific required course that meets education requirements by the APA and BCIA.  Those listed are supposed to meet licensing or credentialing requirements.

ISNR.org
A large membership organization for neurofeedback professionals that are is made up primarily of health professionals.  They hold an annual conference in the fall on neurofeedback and qEEG brain mapping.  

BCIA.org
The primary certification group in the field of biofeedback and neurofeedback. It certifies that anyone listed meet their minimum criteria - that they have a certain number of practice and supervision hours, education requirements, and have passed their certification test.  Some highly credentialed clinicians are not BCIA certified.  That's because BCIA certification is not currently a state requirement, so some have not  taken the time to be certified or feel their professional licensure is sufficient.  Those who have obtained BCIA certification have invested time and effort to meet the the criteria set and have passed the test.  Note: Passing the test does not measure clinical or applied neurofeedback skills, but it does suggest this is a person who has put forth some effort to study neurofeedback. 

AAPB.org
This is the other biofeedback membership group (in addition to ISNR).  They include all types of biofeedback, including EEG/Neurofeedback, and many other traditional types such as EMG, breathing, and many others.  They also hold an annual conference for biofeedback (in spring). Most of their members are health professionals.

Other Lists

eegdirectory.com has more non-licensed members because they do not require members to be licensed.  They also provide training courses, and do not require attendees to be licensed.  A good percentage of their clinicians are probably licensed. You should always check credentials of any clinician you are working with.   

Other sites may list neurofeedback providers. For example, some vendors list individuals who have purchased their hardware and have asked to be listed as providers.  We cannot list all of them. The lists do not assess competency. 
 
Questions and Considerations

• Look carefully at credentials, experience and training in neurofeedback.
• Be willing to ask specific questions about background. Some professionals act like you shouldn't be quizzing them.  Explain that you don't know them, you don't know anything about them, and you'd appreciate if they could work with you.  If they are highly regarded, then they should be able to point to someone outside themselves or their staff who can confirm that.
• Find out where they got trained professionally.  If the credentials sound unusual or you are unfamiliar with their graduate schools or licensure, write it down exactly.  Then check them out on the internet.  
• How much training do they have in Neurofeedback? How many courses have they had? How often do they take additional courses? 
•  Are they licensed or certified?  If you want to get their license or certification number and the name of the licensing board, you can always call (or sometimes look on the internet) to verify they are still licensed.  Note that just because they are licensed does not guarantee competence or knowledge.  But it does mean that if there is a problem, there is a licensing or certification board you can report to.
• How long have they been doing neurofeedback?  How many clients have they actually done neurofeedback with?  Note: some clinicians who have only been doing neurofeedback for 6 months can be good.  They may do a lot of training, and work with a mentor or get supervision on difficult cases.  You just want to know.  You may not be able to find out all this information.  Really good professionals are very up front about what their experience is.  If they are the only one close by, they are very worth talking to carefully. 
• How many people with your kind of problem have they dealt with?
• What other kinds of therapies and modalities do they use for this problem.
• References of clients/patients are recommended.  There are many who may not be willing to share names, because of confidentiality.  However, it is possible for clients to sign a paper indicating that their name can be shared. Perhaps they have a client who has provided permission?
