Brain Performance Center is proving to be a surprisingly helpful resource to me as I learn to sleep solidly through the night. The work that Brian and his staff, especially Katelin, have done with me is bringing a noticeable new calmness to my brain so that I can relax enough at night to sleep for hours. Amazing! I even occasionally am able to take a short nap in the afternoon, which I have not been able to do for so long. I'm grateful for their friendly, excellent care and their office is professional and comfortable in every way. I'll continue to heartily recommend them. read more

I am so grateful for discovering the Brain Performace Center. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, we feel like part of the family. We came to BPC 2 years ago because 2 of our 3 children have special needs, one with very little verbal skills. We wanted to explore every angle to help them. It was so incredibly fascinating to learn about how our brainwaves ​affect how we operate in our daily lives. When you make your initial appointment you are sent a video to learn about the names of the brainwaves and their functions. I found this so helpful and informative. My children can be hyperactive and all the staff have always been so kind, welcoming and patient with them. I have never doubted the benefit of neurofeedback, and yet I am still so blown away by the transformation of my children's behaviors. Whenever anyone would ask me how its changed, I would say that it allows me to be a more calm, patient parent. They still get upset, but for not as long or as often. I can communicate with them because we all arent disregulated and overstimulated. Our whole household is less volatile. ​​It also opened up my son's language abilities, which I will always be forever grateful for. We tell everyone about our transformative experience and have referred some families as well. If this is something you are thinking about or curious about, you owe it to yourself or loved ones to give it a try. ​ read more

Definitely worth every penny! I have been suffering from neurological issues for several years. Therapy, medication and doctors have not been able to help much. Therapy at.Brain Performance Center is the first therapy that has made a significant improvement in my symptoms and mental health. It can be exhausting when dealing with health issues but the staff here have been so amazing, encouraging, and really go of their way to see how they can help. I wish I would've found this center years ago. read more

Everyone here is amazing. Brian and Tanner have been extremely helpful, and every technician I worked with was so sweet and welcoming from the moment I started neurofeedback. This experience was very new to me, but I felt supported every step of the way. My sleep has improved a lot, and I feel much more at ease than when I first began. Huge thank you to Emma, Katelyn, Jarrick, Andrew, and Jenna- the staff truly made all the difference. read more

The Brain Performance center is the best place to go if you're dealing with any symptoms of mental illness like anxiety or depression. Emma is the best neurofeedback technician. She is always very sweet and helpful. I'd recommend the Brain Performance center to anyone looking to improve their mental health. read more

Highly recommend the Brain Performance Center! Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process! Luisa is an amazing resource as she checks in and is available any time I need her! I had great results with my sleep, reactions and felt calmer after doing the sessions and have the brain maps done. I have recommended to all my family and friends, I can't say enough! read more

I highly highly recommend the Brain Performance Center , the staff here are absolutely amazing , Katelyn , Kate , .Monica and all are absolutely Fantastic !!!! Neuofeedback sessions are very relaxing and the techs check in on you during each session. My sleep and dealing with stress has really improved after 10 sessions along with other small changes I have noticed . Thank you so much to all at the BPC !!!!! read more

Blessed Sleep! The impact of the neurofeedback on my sleep has been profound. With great sleep, I am functioning in life at a higher capacity , thinking better, remembering better, and able to get lots of different things accomplished. I also notice an improved, overall sense of well-being, especially when stressed. It was something unexpected. I was sick for a couple of weeks and struggling with coughing at night, etc., so I went in for a tune-up when I recovered. It worked that night with amazing success. I will probably have tune-ups now and then when needed. The staff is exceptional. They are bright, kind, friendly, helpful, accommodating and very safe. I am so grateful for Brian and his gift of this particular Brain Performance protocol to the world. My husband and daughter are in process now as well as many friends. Jump in! read more

Truly life-changing! The brain performance center has been a gift to our family. We had four family members go through the process, so I have a lot to share... We first learned of them through a friend at school and I immediately brought my 10 year old daughter in for a brain map. When I saw it, my heart broke. But Brian was so caring and empathetic. He took the time to explain everything and answer each and every question we had. He was able to identify the many issues that she was struggling with, which we didn't understand (including her sleep issues, anxiety and ADHD). My daughter loved all 40 of her sessions. She enjoyed the process and looked forward to seeing the Brain Performance family every time she went in. A very interesting side note: Brian brought our attention to something else he saw in her brain map and recommended a sinus CT for our daughter. This discovery led us to the root cause of a respiratory issue that she had been wrestling with for years. She had been in and out of the ER and Urgent Cares, seen countless doctors and continued to dread the next common cold that would start the cycle again... and it is all behind us. Her life is forever changed in the best way possible by the Brain Performance team. My 8 year old son was up next. As soon as Brian saw his brain map, he knew there was a vision issue (and which eye it was) as well as where my son had suffered a concussion when he was younger. 20 sessions later and my son is seeing 20/20 for the first time in his life while wearing his glasses. The eye doctor was shocked. (He has been wearing glasses since he was 2 years old for his lazy eye.) His brain map is clear, his sleep is much better and so is his impulse control! Now my husband was skeptical when my kids went in for brain mapping. They had only just started their neurofeedback sessions so we hadn't yet seen the progress, but I was able to get him in for a brain map. My husband struggles with PTSD, sleep issues, social anxiety and basically just turning his brain off. When he met with Brian to go over his brain map, he teared up. As he explained it to me later, no one had ever understood his struggle or been able to explain it to him until that moment. He was floored and he immediately signed up for neurofeedback. 20 sessions later and he is sleeping better, the anxiety has subsided and he is so much happier. I will add that we had one family member who was brain mapped and told there was nothing to do and no neurofeedback needed. We are forever grateful to the Brain Performance team! THANK YOU!! (And we miss you!) read more

Sorry, this will be long. I've never been more grateful to be able to avail myself of a health-promoting modality. My journey with Brain Performance Center is already proving to be life-changing for me. I never realized I have *anxiety* since I don't get panic attacks. Upon reviewing my initial brain map with the awesome Bryan Hixson (who is brilliant and kind), I realized for the first time why I experience a lot of symptoms that I do. I always knew I was "high-strung" (just ask my husband) and also quick to trigger (especially when it comes to my oldest daughter, who is an expert at pushing my buttons). I even started getting heart palpitations (I think that's what they are?) in the last couple of years. That is just my baseline. That is almost completely gone since undergoing neurofeedback sessions at BPC. I had a constant tightness in my chest, that is/was my norm. I feel like a fist is slowly unclenching as my brain rewires itself, I'm not sure how else to explain it. I feel more peaceful. I had no idea why I was the way I was but looking at my map and learning how my brain and body was trying to compensate just to make it...it all made sense. Bryan told me "this is probably the first time your brain has seen itself" and that I probably didn't even know that my experience was different than "normal" because how can you know what's different if this is your only frame of reference (he was more articulate than that, I'm paraphrasing). I actually teared up with sympathy for myself, my poor brain, validation, I'm not sure what. I have tried SO MANY THINGS to address this and nothing worked, until now. The part that is most noticeable for me on a day-to-day basis is my stressful morning routines with my kids. As a conscientious parent, I have read books and taken workshops about communicating with kids, becoming a calm parent, etc., but all the techniques in the world really don't help when you can't realize you need to take a breath and step away...until after it's too late and you've become totally emotionally dysregulated. And lost your...you know what. And I was always very conscious of "this is not the behavior I want to be modeling for my kids"...but in those moments when my brain was going into fight-or-flight mode, it feels hopeless. When you start to understand exactly what happens when certain parts of the brain are over-activated and how that corresponds to resulting behaviors, it all falls into place (and good news is, you don't have to understand or get into the neurophysiology of it all for it to be effective, I just prefer to because I have a medical background and find it fascinating). And I understood from a cognitive, medically-inquisitive level before that, but felt powerless to change the way I'm wired. How do you change how your brain is wired? Honestly, here's the answer. We actually have the technology. I'm not even done with my treatments and I am already more able to take a deep breath and implement all the strategies I tried to implement before. This is one way that my journey with BPC is helping me to be a better mom, a better wife, better friend, and better to myself. And that sends ripple waves into the world that impact everyone. I want to show up for my kids as the best version of myself, and BPC is helping me do that. Full disclosure, the one downside is that once you realize the potential of this, you lament that everyone you love is not availing themselves of it (and maybe also people you don't love...lol). I realize that this is not accessible to everyone, and that's a shame because it should be. If this is at all accessible to you, or there is a way it could be, I urge you to start with a brain map and go from there. Try this first. Upgrading the brain's pathophysiology should be the first step in addressing all these things that so many of us grapple with for ourselves and our kids, and our aging parents (so yeah basically, ALL of us). Unfortunately many of us come to this journey as a last step, after pouring untold money, time, and wasted hope into countless other modalities (and some of those modalities will be more effective, once we change the brain's pathophysiology). I wish we could all start here first. I am so beyond grateful that this technology exists and specifically the family that runs it with their expertise and enormous hearts. And also while I'm at it, all the staff who work there are top notch, just warm and caring and knowledgeable. They work with professional sports players and celebrities and just regular moms like me, and we all get the best care and treatment. I am nowhere near done with my journey at BPC and am already blown away. I had to take a moment to let people know, who might be on the fence or just learning of this. Please look into it. We have the absolute best of the best right here in Westlake (and apparently they can set it up for remote sessions if you're not local). read more

This place is magic! Suddenly, my son started developing very active facial tics at age five. A Neurologist surprising said it was normal, I wanted a better answer. So I took my pediatricians advice and had him do neurofeedback at the Brain Performance Center. His tics plummeted significantly, but occasionally flared. Dr. Bryan Hixson (who is amazing and brilliant) did extra research and directed me to try a supplement that could assist in the long term. And it did! I am so happy my son didn't need medication or injections to solve this problem. I even decided to get brainmapped myself and found out my sleep pattern never finished the cycle and that's why I was tired all the time. After decades of feeling sluggish, taking naps, and lots of coffee, I finally wake up with energy excited to start my day. And a lot more productive. It took 20 sessions to get here, each 30 minutes long. It's transformed my life. Another major perk is the staff. Tanner is the nicest, smartest, and professional person who walked us through the brain maps and Nuerofeedback session. My son doesn't ever say he's going to the doctors, he say's he's going to see his friend Tanner. Also, Eileen is wonderful and very responsive with helping to coordinate the sessions. read more

This experience has been so amazing. Taking the reins on my mental health in a different way and seeing improvement is so exciting. I am so grateful for the entire team here. Everyone is so kind and supportive. I was a little skeptical if it would actually work for me because I have been dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety for so long. I have tried every kind of therapy including antidepressants. I decided to trust the process and I am seeing the benefits. I am excited to see how my journey unfolds going forward. Brain health is body health and my brain is finally healthy! I have seen changes in myself that I have never seen. Changes in feelings and behaviors I have had for almost 40 years. If you are on the fence, I say invest in yourself and let the Brain Performance Center guide you into discovering your true self and navigate your way through life a little easier, a little clearer, a lot calmer! You deserve it! Thank you everyone at Brain Performance Center, I am so grateful for each and every one of you. All my gratitude and support. Elise read more

If i could give them more than five stars, I would! I found Brain Performance Center after a car accident, which led to a concussion. I was miserable and could not function and BFC was the first (and only!) solution to give me hope for recovery. Their entire staff is caring, competent, professional, passionate about what they do and easy to communicate with. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for relief from any type of brain trauma/injury/chronic headaches/ etc. It's been a total game changer and I am SO thankful!! read more

Not only is everyone here kind and helpful, the treatments were highly effective. They helped with significant pain in my body, greatly lowered stress, brain fog was gone, GI issues were positively effected as well. I am truly amazed at the difference this has made in my life. I highly recommend it! I am very grateful for this wonderful team working diligently to help people in this way. read more

Brian, Tanner, and Luisa along with all of the staff at the brain performance center were amazing! They truly care about improving your brain health and helping see results as soon as possible.

Highly highly recommend exceptional team. read more

Has helped my family in many ways from anxiety issues as well as sleep issues. The staff is amazing and guide you along the way. Results are life changing! read more

My wife and I learned about Brain Performance Neurofeedback Center thru a lot of internet research. Our goal was to help our 10 year old daughter with focus, and the ability to handle her emotions better. While visiting the West Los Angeles office where our daughter was receiving her inital scan I decided to spend my time reading the BPNC pamphlet in the waiting room. During that time I mentioned to my wife that this might really help me out as well. I suffer/suffered from ADHD, Anxiety, Addiction and migraine headaches. We decided that I should also have an initial scan done and am I glad I did. My daughter completed 30 sessions of therapy following her first scan and boy were we pleasantly surprised. Our daughter is thriving. Her focus is incredible, her emotional outburts are milder and shorter, and her ability let go is nothing less than remarkable. She doesnt fidgit anymore while reading and is more engaged even when somthing isn't as interesting as she would like it to be. Now to ME...I have also completed 30 sessions of therapy and my life has changed since about session 4. Since July of last year about a week into my therapy I was able to stop taking my anxiety and depression medication after 7 years. My temper and ability to handle stress is that of a healthy 50 year human being. I have lessened my drinking by about 90% which has led to a better home life, more energy, and almost never get a migraine. When i do get a migraine it last for a few minutes rather than hours or days. This was the best investment We have ever made for our families health and wellness. MONEY WELL SPENT! I cant imagine returning to the life i lived before BPNC and doctor Hixon and his staffs help. Thank You and We highly recommend this therapy!! LIFE CHANGING Thank You, Scot, Lisa & Lindsay Wallach read more

The staff, services, and offices are top-notch, but this review is solely on the brain mapping and ADHD Neurofeedback, both my wife and I received. Bryan gave us a thorough and detailed explanation of what this is and guided us through the services we received, never with impatience, but always with a heart to teach and share his vast experience. We are grateful for the services received. read more

We had an amazing experience with the Brain Performance Center. All of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My teenage son is successfully focusing better in school due to improvements in his brain mapping. No more ADHD medication! I wish we had known about this type of treatment sooner. I highly recommend it. read more

Brain Performance center truly helped my migraines and sleep issues. I have worked with their team to help my patients and families with all things brain health--migraines, sleep, adhd, concussions, etc. Highly recommend! read more

I'm 30. I've spent more than two decades suffering with depression, anxiety, OCD--the works, more than a decade in therapy, and a little over a year on an intensive program consisting of good ol' fashioned talk therapy, OCD therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and medication management. The intensive has been life changing, but it wasn't until adding neurofeedback to the mix that I could implement all the new tools and skills I learned. Neurofeedback was the missing puzzle piece, and I couldn't imagine doing it anywhere other than BPC. First off, they should be charging a million dollars a session. Having said that, I wasn't working at the time and couldn't commit to full treatment, so I was able to go on a payment plan. Their generosity doesn't stop here. You pay for 20 sessions, they throw in an extra 10 for good measure, and if you don't see significant results after 30, they will offer an unlimited amount of neurofeedback sessions until your brain map shows healthy activity. This genuine care in the well-being of their clients vs. seeing only dollar signs is too rare these days. Needless to say, I highly recommend BPC and neurofeedback. It didn't make my problems disappear (nothing can), but it got my brain firing at the healthy level to tackle life's woes, come what may. read more

I really went into this quite skeptical with my 7y/o son who was having weekly meltdowns, trouble regulating his emotions, various attention and sensory issues, and burgeoning anxiety issues. To say we've seen a turnaround from nearly all of these issues is an understatement; he is far more resilient, content and much less anxious. He takes less prodding to move from one task to the next, his focus has improved, and his sensory aversions seem to have calmed notably. I am left in awe over this experience. My hope is that these changes are truly as long lasting/permanent as I've been told they are. read more

Didn't help me or my 2 daughters. Some anxiety and some add. We did 20 sessions. They said they would continue doing it until we got better but after 2o, they said there's not much left we can do. read more

Thank you to everyone at Brain Performance Center of Southern California. I was experiencing prolonged neurological effects from COVID that lasted for over a year. A QEEG at the center confirmed that a part of my brain had been impacted by COVID and the diagnosis was exactly what I had been experiencing. Ten targeted Neurofeedback sessions healed the issue and my brain function is back to pre-COVID, honestly a bit better. Everyone at the center is professional, knowledgeable and patient. I actually looked forward to the sessions! I chose to watch TedTalks in my retraining sessions. In short, I would recommend the Brain Performance Center to anyone seeking to optimize brain function. Neurofeedback performed by the right people in the right setting is very powerful. I wouldn't trust my brain to anyone but Bryan Hixson and his team. read more

The Brain Performance Center has given me back my husband. I was losing him a little bit everyday for years, not knowing what was wrong. After many doctor and neurology appointments, tests, scans, sleep studies, a friend recommended the Brain Performance Center. They discovered the problem and after going through the recommended neurofeedback therapies, the improvement has been remarkable! The man I know is back! I believe they saved his life and without their intervention I would have lost him. This should be recommended by every neurologist. It is life changing and life saving! I am forever grateful. read more

My son was having horrible withdrawal symptoms after his doctor tapered him too quickly off his antidepressant. He developed intrusive thoughts that were very frightening for him. He was unable to drive, go to movies, or do any of the things he has enjoyed his whole life. He couldn't go places because of anxiety and the fear of being triggered and having more intrusive thoughts. I heard about neurofeedback from a woman who also suffered with intrusive thoughts. It helped her a lot, so we decided to contact Brain Performance Center of Southern California. We met with Bryan Hixson and our son had his first brain map done a few days later. It showed a great amount of anxiety in his brain. Our son began the neurofeedback sessions, and now after completing them he is doing so much better! He's going to movies again with us, he's able to socialize with people again, and is ready to start driving again. Thank you so much, Bryan! read more

Very unsafe covid precautions here. No one wears a mask. The technician refused but finally gave in and said - "if thats a thing". The front desk receptionist said "covid isn't that bad". I had young kids with me so was very surprised at how relaxed everyone was here about covid. I would find a more safer place to go to. read more

Awesome Center and very professional team!. They have definitely helped my son so much! Highly recommend!

This place is for real. After 20 sessions, my son got great results and his old concussive injury disappeared on the brain scan. This business is pretty amazing, word needs to get out. read more

The Brain Performance Center helped my daughter several years ago. A new issue has cropped up and they are helping her again. Brian is extremely patient and helpful with explaining the results of brain scans and a recommended protocol to resolve any issues. If you or a family member or friend have suffered from a concussion, have brain fog, memory issues, balance issues and the like, I recommend you check out the Brain Performance center. read more

Leigh Richardson has been seeing me for help with depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and physical pain. I started getting substantial improvement after very few individualized treatment sessions. She really cares and knows so much about the brain. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot recommend this program enough. I knew I suffered from PTSD and anxiety, but it wasn't until I did a brain map with them that I discovered I also had damage from a concussion I was not aware of. They know how to treat the key issues effectively. I went through this program and it provides relief, understanding, and hope. The staff is amazing and so caring. They do so much good work! It is completely worth it! read more
