At Pneuma Counseling & Neurofeedback, we believe every child deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive. Our faith-based, neuroscience-backed approach helps children work through anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and big emotions — in ways that fit how children naturally communicate and how their brains actually develop.
We’re excited to welcome our new licensed play therapist, now accepting child clients at our Mandeville office.
Play Therapy: How Children Heal
Children rarely have the words for what hurts. Play is a child’s natural language, and in play therapy a trained therapist uses that language to help your child express feelings, process difficult experiences, and build healthy coping skills. Sessions are gentle, structured, and tailored to your child’s age and needs.
Neurofeedback for Children: A Core Part of Our Treatment Plans
Neurofeedback is one of the most powerful tools we offer growing brains — and it’s a central part of how we build children’s treatment plans at Pneuma. This gentle, drug-free brain training helps children strengthen attention, calm anxiety, and improve emotional regulation by teaching the brain to function in healthier patterns.
Administered in-office at our BrainParlor Neurofeedback Spa using BrainMaster and NeurOptimal® systems, neurofeedback has shown significant improvement for children with ADHD and ADD, anxiety, sleep difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, attachment issues, and emotional dysregulation. Our team has over 400 hours of professional neurofeedback training and more than 7,000 client hours of experience.
EMDR for Children & Teens
For children who have experienced trauma, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer hold the same power. Our therapists adapt EMDR for children and teens, often blending it with play therapy and neurofeedback for deeper, lasting results.
Faith-Based, Family-Centered Care
As a Christian practice, we walk alongside your family with compassion and hope, integrating faith (when requested) with the scientific tools God has provided for healing. Parents are partners in the process — you’ll receive guidance and support every step of the way.
