A gentle reset for a nervous system that won't slow down.
Regulating your nervous system to improve how you feel, faster.
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a drug-free, non-invasive way to help the brain settle out of the stuck, over-activated patterns that drive anxiety, poor sleep, and trouble focusing. I'm a Level-2 LENS provider, and LENS is one of the things I'm asked about most. When people land on this page, they tend to read every word — so here's the honest version of what it is and whether it might help you.
Not sure if this is you? Take the quick 2-minute nervous-system self-check — it'll help you tell whether yours might be stuck in a high-alert pattern.
A quick look at what happens in a LENS session, from Ochs Labs — the makers of LENS.
You don't have to "do" anything. That's the point.
With traditional neurofeedback, you watch a screen and try to train your brainwaves over many sessions. LENS is different. It uses a tiny, imperceptible signal — far weaker than what your phone emits — delivered through sensors placed on the scalp. Your brain does the rest, gently nudging itself back toward a more flexible, regulated state.
Sessions are short and completely passive. You sit, relax, and the work happens on its own. Many people notice shifts — calmer, sharper, sleeping better — within the first several sessions.
What clients report
- Anxiety relief — a mind that finally quiets down
- Better focus and follow-through
- Deeper, less restless sleep
- Steadier moods, fewer meltdowns
- Less stress, overwhelm, and "wired but tired"
- More emotional availability for the people around you
Worth saying plainly: LENS isn't magic and it isn't for everyone. On a free consult I'll give you a straight answer about whether it's a sensible fit for what you're dealing with.
People bring LENS a wide range of things
- Cognition — ADHD, autism-spectrum support
- Mood — depression, bipolar
- Anxiety — PTSD, OCD, panic
- Emotional reactivity — short fuses, big swings
- Motivation — procrastination, follow-through
- Motor — coordination, clumsiness
- Pain — fibromyalgia, migraines
- Addiction — reducing substance use
If you found yourself in that list, that's exactly what a free consult is for. LENS supports — it doesn't replace — appropriate medical and therapeutic care, and results vary person to person.

Most people feel a difference sooner than they expect.
In my experience the majority of clients see a noticeable change once we get going — steadier mood, clearer focus, easier sleep. We track how you're doing as we go, so you're never guessing whether it's working.
I also run a weekly LENS program at a local private school — ask me about it if you'd like to know more.
The things people ask before booking a first LENS session.
Is it safe?
Yes. LENS is non-invasive and uses an extremely low-energy signal. It's well-tolerated; the most common side effect is feeling tired or unusually relaxed afterward. We start gently and adjust to how you respond.
Does it hurt? Will I feel anything?
No. The signal is below the threshold of sensation — most people feel nothing during the session itself. You simply sit comfortably while it runs.
How much does it cost, and how long are sessions?
New clients start with a brain-mapping session ($225, about 50 minutes). After that, LENS sessions are $115 each and short — typically 15–20 minutes. Reduced rates for first responders, educators, veterans, healthcare workers, and fellow therapists. Most people do LENS in a series, so packages bring the per-session cost down. See the fees page for the full picture, or ask on a free consult.
Can you bring LENS to a school or organization?
Yes. Alongside individual sessions and multi-session packages, I work with schools and organizations who want to bring LENS to their people — and I'm available for live demonstrations so your group can see exactly how it works. Reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense.
Can I do LENS and talk therapy together?
Often, yes — many people do both. We'll figure out the right mix for what you're working on rather than forcing everything into one approach.
