Joy's amazing. If you're looking for an extremely knowledgeable and skilled Neurofeedback practitioner who's a delight to work with, call Joy. I've been coming to Joy since April and have seen the benefits of her work in my life. Everyone close to me has. More relaxed, calmer, at peace...able to process situations more quickly and in a much more objective manner. Able to let go more quickly and keep moving. Better sleep, more able to establish and maintain healthy habits. My personal and professional life have improved greatly. The list goes on. I've been so excited by the results I've seen, I end up being that person who brings up the new thing in their lives in every new conversation. "Have you heard of Neurofeedback?" Joy's been at this for 29 years, so she has a deep well of experience to draw from in terms of where to get started and how to adjust in real time to keep the positive results flowing. She has a background in nursing, which seems to keep her curious and tenacious (in a kind, warm way) in figuring out how to be of most help. When you think about it, nurses are presented with life or death situations regularly and have to use empathy, observation, and experience to quickly come up with solutions. There's no one-size-fits-all as a nurse and Joy brings that dynamic ability to her Neurofeedback work. I called just about every Neurofeedback person in LA and OC and, while they were all engaging and bright, I got the sense they were sort of working from templates...come in for a brain map, do some analysis, come up with protocols, and go. Joy leaves so much room for each unique brain and how it responds over time. And she's so passionate about it still...it's amazing. Joy has been deeply involved in the field all along, so not only is she a talented practitioner, she's a walking textbook. She can answer any question and do it in a way, with metaphors especially, that makes even the most complex stuff easy to understand. The biggest question seems to be, "how does just sitting here looking at a monitor...without even having to think about it...help me so much more quickly and thoroughly than years' worth of other modalities?" Joy's got the answers--more importantly, she's got the skills to make it happen. Even with all that experience and knowledge, Joy's really humble and down-to-earth. No need to have a big ego when you have the confidence of mastery in your profession. She's extremely easy to talk with and feel comfortable around. I know Neurofeedback can seem a bit mystifying. Honestly, it was a leap of faith for me despite all the evidence it works. And let me tell you - it does indeed work. It's an investment in your well-being but it pays dividends and starts doing so quickly. If you're like I was and are considering getting started but have questions and aren't sure who to talk with or get started with, I recommend to you, as I have so many others, to call Joy and jump in. Thanks, Joy! read more

Joy was amazing to work with! I saw significant improvement in my sleep and improvement in my breathe. Throughout our time, I became more mindful and aware. Specifically, in dealing with moments where my trauma and anxiety would rise to surface. I was able to start to gain the skills where I did not have to feed into those moments and handle them in a manner where I felt in control, and understand I was feeling anxious because of xyz; and instead I feel more confident in being able to give those moments the healthy nurtrients they need, if you will. Joy is an absolute delight and great at what she does! I would highly recommend diving into Neurofeedback. PS. This is one of those things the more you do it, the more it snowballs and compounds into gainig more and more skills as the giant web of your brain starts to build out more connecitng roads. read more

I honestly don't know where I would be right now without Joy and Brain Potential! I went to see Joy for some help with a serious case of (garden-variety) depression, and she whipped my brain into shape and gave me a new lease on life. After trying many other types of therapy and treatment, this was the most effective -- practically a miracle, no side effects,no having to take a pill every day for the rest of your life. Joy is pretty amazing at it: she came highly recommended by a few people in the neurofeedback community. She is sweet as pie, and I really trust her. She is well-invested in the practice, does a lot of continuing education and she will completely break it all down in laymen's terms. If you're thinking about neurofeedback, you need to see Joy -- and be patient, don't expect an overnight miracle. But it's worth the patience, since it works and it will change your life! read more

Brain potential is Joy Lunt! Joy is not a talk therapist but she is a top notch practitioner of the noninvasive tool called neurofeedback. If you are looking for therapy, look else where. But if you are looking for tools to help you through a healing process, Joy is your person. Neurofeedback retrains the brain to operate in a most positive manner, such as in anxiety, ptsd, sleep issues and other trauma types. She also helps autistic, adhd kids to normalize. The technique is not always fast. You have to commit to the process. Everyone is different. She has helped me heal from some issues and I am on the verge of being free. It has been a journey. Honest and straight forward women as she see's it. Artist In the field. Again, everyone is different and so she treats it that way. Excellent adjunct. Her background is one as a registered nurse. Highly recommended. read more

I went to Brain Potential to treat a very extreme case of OCD a few years ago. Joy was very effective and eliminated the problem so well that I have come back again to be treated for sleep apnea. I highly recommend neuro feedback, and Joy specifically, for the unobtrusiveness (it doesn't physically force your brain to change chemically like pharmaceuticals do), it's ease (all you have to do is sit in a super comfy chair and watch a screen, no exposure to triggers) and it's unrivaled effectiveness (I was prescribed quadruple the recommended maximum dose of an anti-anxiety medication, now I take nothing and have few to no symptoms). Working with Joy herself has also been a delight! She is super kind and has a very warm personality. I always feel that I am in great hands and I look forward to the sessions! Highly, highly recommend. You will feel better. read more

I started my painful journey on September 1, 2013 with industrial anxiety-insomnia-sadness-no appetite-feeling of enclosure-PTSD and premenopausal symptoms. My husband Eric "I call him my Angel" and I were so worried and scared of what I was going through that throughout the next 2 looong and painful years we went to over 20 different doctors tons of different drugs which most of them gave me horrible side affects and different procedures including a brain scan and spending over $20,000 (we put everything on credit cards going into massive debt) with no solution to my situation. There were many times my Angel and I would just go to church and cry and beg Our Lord for HELP! after so many painful experiences, procedures and desperate situations we went through, finally God heard our prayers, my Angel came across on yelp and found Joy (Brain Potential) he spoke to Joy for over 45 minutes on the phone. He felt why not let's give it a try since we had tried pretty much everything, plus the fact that Joy took the time and listened to what Eric had to say about my situation for almost an hour, he knew she had a good compassionate heart! I first went to see Joy on 2/2/15 I was feeling miserable with ALL my horrible symptoms, I still had hope and trust in Our Lord! Sure enough that day Joy made us feel there was still HOPE, I was going to get better and I was going to get off the medications! (I was on 3mg of Ativan-400 mg of Progesterone- 6mg of Melatonin) I drove from OC to Burbank 2-3 times per week for 1 1/2 years (I had my mind set on this new journey with Joy, someday I would get my health back to normal). I noticed my symptoms getting better within 6 months of biofeedback! I started tapering off the meds and feeling more of myself! Now I can say Joy was RIGHT!!!! I am so BLESSED for ALL she has done for me and I have nothing but RESPECT and ADMIRATION for such a loving and compassionate woman, whom I am honor to call her my HEALER!!! I am down to 150mg of progesterone, .75 Ativan and will continue to tapper of the meds as I continue to see Joy every 5-6 weeks. I can say I TRULY APPRECIATE and CARE so much for Joy! not just because she HEALED me but because I see her as my HERO who cares about HELPING her patients HEAL and THRIVE! May Our Lord continue to BLESS you for helping me HEAL one session at a time!!! Blessings!!! Marta and Eric read more

I am an RN who was diagnosed with severe depression and panic disorder 35 years ago. I am now 63. Although I was on medication, I began having panic that lasted 10 hours or more until I finally went to an ER or urgent care center for relief by Ativan. I had also suffered greatly from addiction to Klonopin which was prescribed by my psychiatrist. My life had crumbled. I was desperate and feeling suicidal. After 30 sessions of neurofeedback, I am now a new person. I no longer have panic, anxiety or depression. I fall asleep within minutes and after 8 hours, I wake up refreshed. My nightmares have gone away. I have decreased one of my 2 medications to the lowest dose. Most importantly, I feel resilient to the stressors of life and don't freak out when bad things happen to me. I feel calm and alert for the first time in my life. Joy Lunt is an excellent and compassionate practitioner. She is also very friendly and sweet. Her brilliance is shown in many ways - her expert knowledge of neuroscience, medical science, and the quickly advancing technology of neurofeedback as well as her understanding of and devotion to her clients. She is also an instructor for other neurofeedback practitoners internationally. She has over 20 years of experience which enables her to practice both the art and science of her field. She is truly an amazing person. Joy saved my life. It was like a miracle. thank you, Joy! If you want your brain "fixed for life," and have a healthy new life, then go see Joy Lunt, RN at Brain Potential, Inc. read more

I have clarity and am more creative and choosing happiness is a lot easier now. Joy is a professional and her experience and expertise along with her warm and caring attitude has made my Neurofeedback experience very positive! Elsa M read more

It's not an exaggeration to say that Joy's treatments have changed my life. If you've ever thought about neurofeedback therapy, you really owe it to yourself to give Joy a call and set up an appointment. read more

I first started doing neurofeedback with Joy in October of 2016 for depression. I had struggled with depression since I was 8 years old (I was 29 at the time) and had tried everything from cognitive behavior therapy to anti-depressants for treatment, but I found that, while both helped, therapy didn't help address the physical nature of my depression and anti-depressants only left me feeling numb and plagued with plenty of other unpleasant side effects. After researching neurofeedback quite heavily and receiving glowing recommendations for Joy, I decided to try it out. After only a few weeks of sessions with Joy I quite honestly found myself fundamentally changed. I no longer had the lingering fog of depression weighing on me in day and day out as I had experienced consistently all those years before. And I also did not have any side effects that pills inevitably entail. I was so happy with my experience that I came back to Joy in Oct. of 2018 for treatment for OCD and trauma related issues, and as with the depression treatment, after a few weeks of treatment I found myself no longer experiencing the trauma related triggers or OCD looping obsessive thoughts that I had been plagued with since childhood. As cliched and pat as it may sound, neurofeedback has changed my life and I am so incredibly grateful for my decision to try something new and not as well known to deal with these issues and attack them at the root of the problem. I am also incredibly grateful that I was recommended to Joy, whose experience and renowned expertise kept me feeling safe and well cared for during the entire experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and kind human being who really cares about her patients and listens to them and their feedback. She has completely made me a believer in the benefits of neurofeedback and I would recommend anyone dealing with issues such as mine to her. Thanks again Joy, you've truly made a huge difference in the quality of my life and I am forever grateful for you. read more

Neuro feedback is the best kept secret for anyone suffering from anxiety and/or depression. It's the difference between depending on medication and enduring the side effects, on one hand, and giving your brain the chance to learn new ways of reacting to the world, on the other. In this way, it's not so much a "treatment" as an "education." And in a few short weeks, Joy Lunt, R.N., has brought me a long way from the depths at which I began this process. She's such an amazing person and a brilliant practitioner. If you want to learn more about Joy, Neuro Feedback and its potential for healing suffering, follow this link to Lisa Boosin's highly informative and entertaining account of her experience with Joy. http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/neurofeedback-cured-clinical-depression. I cannot speak highly enough of Joy. If you are depressed and/or anxious, give yourself this chance at healing. read more

Easily the best thing I've ever done for myself. Because of Neurofeedback I am a better Mother, Wife, daughter, friend and employee. I spent years searching for something that would help my severe and chronic anxiety, fears and nervousness. Nothing helped me except for my Neurofeedback sessions at Brain Potential in Burbank. Before Brain potential, I tried hipnosis, talk therapy, cranal sacral, acupuncture and other treatments that costed me a fortune. I almost gave up until I called Brain Potential. I had a detailed consultation and they went over every detail of my life. I walked out of the consultation feeling so confident. I began sessions but my family was skeptical since nothing else worked. I was shocked and relieved when I started seeing amazing results. My husband and father saw changes in me that shocked them. I no longer have any form of anxiety or fears. I can go to a public place or a social setting with zero anxiety. I almost do not remember what it feels like to feel that way. I feel calm, happy and completely at ease. It truly works. My quality of life is wonderful. The staff there genuinely cares about your progress and wants to see success. I no longer argue with my husband or become angry or impatient. I no longer stress over every little thing or become paranoid or depressed. The best part about Neurofeedback is that I don't even try to calm myself. It's just the way I am now. It's been over 2 years since I completed my sessions and I feel exactly the same as the day I completed my sessions. I feel great. Once you finish your sessions, you are changed for life. It's nothing short of a miracle in my eyes. read more
