LONG COVID-19 TREATMENT NYC
Post COVID
A growing body of research has shown that beyond the immediate physical symptoms that a COVID-19 infection has, the virus can have long-term consequences on brain and other body functions. The damage the virus has on the brain can cause a range of symptoms, including “brain fog,” or sluggish thinking and difficulty concentrating or remembering things. Research has shown that individuals with even mild cases of COVID-19 can experience brain fog for weeks if not months after infection.
For those with more severe cases, anxiety, fear, hospitalization, medication, and mechanical ventilators can all also have damaging impacts on brain function. It is essential that infected individuals, and especially those experiencing any cognitive changes, seek treatment. Doing so can help enhance functionality of the brain to achieve a full recovery, optimizing the critical connections between brain and body.
How can we help with post-COVID Brain Fog?
-
Emerging research shows that there are objective changes to the brain’s electrical activity after a COVID-19 infection. For instance, participants in a study demonstrated increased theta, alpha, and SMR activity in their left hemisphere compared to their right hemisphere.
Our qEEG brain map assessment can help identify these changes. With this data, we can develop a targeted treatment protocol to correct these imbalances in electrical activity, thereby reducing brain fog symptoms and improving your overall brain function.

The emotional toll experienced during the recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to exacerbated symptoms of mental health dysregulation, including increased stress, anxiety, and depression, difficulty concentrating, and prolonged pessimistic thoughts about the future. In addition to this, COVID-19 has been shown to impact brain tissue and function, leading to “brain fog,” and long-lasting cognitive impairments after infection.
At Brain Resource Center, our highly-skilled and qualified team of mental health professionals provide neurofeedback and biofeedback treatments, as well as individual counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy and other cutting-edge techniques to resolve the above-mentioned symptoms.

We offer neurofeedback therapy remotely, so that you can engage in treatments from the comfort of your own home. Contact us to find out more about remote neurofeedback equipment kits.
How does Neurofeedback work?
-
1. Brain map
Brainwave assessment identifies imbalances and helps to create a personalized treatment plan.
-
2. Treatment setup
Non-invasive sensors and headphones are placed on your head and the treatment session begins.
-
3. Brain activation
Software translates your brainwave data and stops or starts audio/visual media based on your brain activity.
-
4. Conditioning
In response to the audio/visual feedback, your brain adapts and learns to regulate your brainwaves and build new, healthy neural pathways.
-
5. Brain Training
Over time with continuous brain training, healthy brain activity in target regions increases, and symptom-associated activity decreases.
Ready to start the process?
Step 1: Schedule an intake appointment.
This initial session is a time for you to meet with our clinical psychologist, Dr. Fallahpour, to discuss your medical history, symptoms, goals, circumstances, etc. Fill out the booking form here or call us directly at 212-877-2130 to schedule your intake session or inquire for more information.
Step 2: Complete brain assessments.
After your intake session with Dr. Fallahpour, we recommend that you complete a qEEG brain map and neuropsychological screening. This provides us a more objective understanding of what is happening in your brain and which issues we need to focus on treating.
Step 3: Start treatment sessions.
After reviewing the results of your brain assessments, Dr. Fallahpour will design a personalized treatment plan for you. Then you will be able to start treatment sessions in office or remotely if eligible. Click here to learn more about our treatment options.
