Neuro-Integration Therapy Program at InDepth Therapy.
Welcome to some of the most innovative treatment options available for resolving mental health and addiction issues today. We are stacking our psychotherapy treatment with cutting edge modalities including Brain Maps, Brainspotting, Neurofeedback, Brain Entrainment and Vibroacoutic Therapy. Treatment outcomes are measurably effective and efficient in the quick resolution of presenting symptoms our client’s are present with.
Brain Maps are an integral part of the Neuro-integration Therapy (NIT) program at InDepth Therapy. We begin by measuring brainwave patterns using QEEG, which is a digitized version of a regular EEG. After analyzing the QEEG a “Brain Map” is created to show areas of higher or lower than normal brainwave activity, helping determine which frequencies need attention. After any of our offered treatments, another brain map can be conducted to measure changes in neuroplasticity and brain normalization.
Brain Entrainment Therapy (BET): The therapeutic use of using specific external stimuli, such as sound, light, or electromagnetic pulses, to influence the brain’s natural electrical activity. It encourages the brain to align with desired frequencies associated with specific mental states. The brain can use this stimuli to entrain itself for emotional well-being resulting in the reduction of stress, anxiety, insomnia, focus related challenges, and enhanced cognitive performance.
Neurofeedback Therapy: A type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to reach self-regulation of brain function. It involves monitoring brain wave patterns through sensors placed on
the scalp and providing feedback in the form of visual, auditory, or tactile signals. The goal of neurofeedback is to train the brain to maintain healthier patterns of activity, which can improve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. It is often used to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADD, PTSD, sleep disorders and chronic pain. The therapy is non-invasive can be performed in
clinic or in the comfort of your home. Over time the brain learns to operate more efficiently, leading to long-term benefits.
Vibroacoustic Therapy: The innovative treatment that is making waves in the world of mental health and addiction. Combining the power of music and vibration, vibroacoustic therapy offers a unique and effective approach to healing both the body and the mind. Experience the transformative power of vibroacoustic therapy, a profoundly relaxing and therapeutic treatment that has the potential to change your life.
How Does Vibroacoustic Therapy Work?
Clients lay on a specially designed table that has internal tactile transducers that apply vibrations directly to the body while listening through headphones to the music that is creating those exact vibrations.
This real-time “hearing and feeling” of the same frequencies simultaneously creates and immersive effect that gives VAT a unique ability to impact the total mind, body and spirit. True acoustic resonance occurs between the body and the table, inducing incredible feelings of euphoria and clarity.
VAT helps clients relax through its unique ability to reset their autonomic nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic in as little as 22 minutes! The sympathetic nervous system controls your “fight or flight” response while the parasympathetic nervous system brings your body into a state of calm, or “rest and digest”. This makes VAT a powerful tool for reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which can have numerous benefits for overall health and wellbeing. Our client’s experience a decrease in depression, anxiety, chronic pain, symptoms related to trauma and an overall improvement in mood.
We offer a myriad of ways to utilize all of these amazing technologies to help make our client’s treatment more impactful.
We cannot emphasize enough how unique this experience is in our industry. This transformative offering and experience has a tremendously positive impact on the care we provide.
For many of our clients, it’s the reason they chose InDepth Therapy and we’re excited to continue to grow these services as this technology blossoms.

Understanding BrainTap Technology
As part of our mental health services, we employ the use of several technologies one of these is called BrainTap. BrainTap’s innovative technology produces “brainwave entrainment”- the harmonization of brainwaves to a specialized sound- much like meditation but requires no special training or experience. BrainTap produces the same relaxation response as meditation without the need for years of disciplined practice, giving your body precisely what it needs to get back in balance and reverse the effect of stress on the body.
Four Key Elements of BrainTap
Guided Visualization
The visual imagery process involves you sitting aside a period of relaxation, during which you contemplate mental images depicting a desired result or goal. This exercise is done during the spoken word session to help you envision a consistent image (either literal or symbolic) of the results desired from the session. Visualization has been studied for decades, showing the power to affect mental states, improve physical and athletic performance and even heal the body. When combined with the other elements of BrainTap, these effects are increased and optimized.
10-Cycle Holographic Music
Another aid to the guided mediation is 10- cycle holographic music, which is a sonic technology that produces a 360-degree sound environment. In this sonic environment, the visualizations become more real to the mind, helping you take full advantage of the power of the visualizations by creating a more receptive learning state.
The Power of Light
The BrainTap headset delivers gentle light pulses that travel through the retina and ear meridians, sending direct signals to the brain and guiding you into unparalleled brain states. Pulsing light, in the correct pattern and intensity, can produce levels of deep relaxation known to affect serotonin and endorphin levels, which an average increase of 21% in one study. These increases not only can calm and relax the mind but also produce powerful effects in maintaining a positive outlook and optimistic thinking.
Binaural Beats
When two different tones, separated in frequency by only a few hertz, are introduced - one in each ear - the brain perceives a third, unique tone. Binaural beats work by creating this phantom frequency, which the brain then mimics. Your brain naturally follows this frequency, and you experience this deeply relaxed state. BrainTap’s algorithms have been shown to produce a state of calm and concentration in the brain, yielding the full effect of the guided visualization, and resulting in extraordinary levels of performance that would otherwise take years of practice to achieve.
This practice consists of equal intensity pulses of sound separated by an interval of silence. They turn on and off rapidly, but the speed depends on the desired brain frequency. The discrete nature of isochronic tones makes them particularly easy for the brain to follow. While binaural beats rely on balanced hearing in both ears, isochronic tones work effectively for nearly everyone, except for someone with complete hearing loss. This is the reason BrainTap’s algorithms incorporate both types of tones.
Benefits of Using BrainTap
BrainTap was developed after decades of research by Dr. Richard Porter to help patients achieve balanced brainwave activity needed for optimal function of body and mind. Each session on BrainTap is individually designed to ensure the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new
neural connections, resulting in a flexible and resilient brain. The BrainTap headset and programs help build mind-body balance just like balancing your exercise at the gym with a healthy diet.
• Deep relaxation stimulates the production of natural, stress and tension-relieving neurotransmitters, such as endorphins
• Helps change unwanted behaviors and habits, including those contributing to smoking and over-eating
• Balances the brain’s right and left hemispheres, inspiring both focus and creativity
• Promotes relaxation, which contributes to maintaining healthy sleep
• Brings more blood flow to the brain for clearer thinking and better concentration
• Alleviates negative mind chatter and enhances motivation and performance
• Decreases or eliminates jet lag
• Provides a natural ability to put stress in its place
Most users report stress relief through deep relaxation, maintaining healthy sleep patterns, improved memory, improved learning skills such as concentration and recall of information, a sense of calm, increased focus, lucid dreaming, and increased physical energy. Please be aware that while the BrainTap technology is designed to help you reach your full potential, we cannot guarantee your results. Please understand that results will vary from person to person.
