Dr. Jolene Ross is the founder and director of Advanced Neurotherapy, a wellness clinic that utilizes behavioral medicine applications such as quantitative EEG analysis and neurofeedback to improve quality of life. She works with individuals and families challenged with neuro-cognitive, neuro-emotional and neurodevelopmental disorders. Using EEG technology, neurofeedback has the ability to target specific locations where the brain is having trouble functioning. Neurofeedback uses safe operant conditioning to teach the brain to improve brainwaves, which improves overall brain function. Ross, a licensed psychologist, received a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Boston College. She studied with Dr. Barry Sterman, founder of quantitative EEG assessment and neurofeedback, and Dr. Joseph Cautela, founder of the fields of behavior therapy and behavioral medicine.

Services provided: Neurofeedback, brain mapping, biofeedback, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, health coaching, parent coaching and psychotherapy.

Areas of specialty: ADD/ADHD, autistic spectrum, anxiety, behavioral issues, birth-related disruptions, brain injuries, dementia, depression, learning disabilities, mood disorders, post-surgery syndromes, seizures, psychological disorders, toxic exposure, and enhancing work, school and sports performance.

Healing/healthy living philosophy: “I believe in getting to the root of the problem and correcting it, not masking or suppressing it,” Ross says. “Improving your brain function through corrective care in a safe, comfortable and supportive environment improves your life for the long term.”
