A New Way to Heal from Trauma
Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can feel exhausting. Constant tension, hypervigilance, sudden emotions, or feeling detached from your surroundings are all common symptoms. PTSD affects both the brain and the body, and until recently, many treatments focused only on talk therapy or medication.
Neurofeedback with Prism offers a new, science-backed option now available in Philadelphia. This FDA-cleared therapy helps you retrain your brain’s stress response so you can begin to heal from trauma and feel more in control.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that measures your brain’s activity and gives you real-time feedback so you can learn to regulate it.
With Prism, this process is made simple and interactive. Using an EEG headset, your brain activity is monitored while you watch an animated scene on a computer. The avatars in the scene respond directly to your brain’s stress levels—calming down as you do. Over time, you learn how to lower your brain’s “fight-or-flight” response and build lasting resilience.

What a Session Looks Like
During each 30-minute session, you’ll wear a soft EEG headset that records brain activity while seated in front of a computer. Using calming mental strategies, you’ll watch animated avatars respond in real time—quieting down as your stress levels decrease. Over time, this feedback helps retrain your brain’s response to stress and trauma.
Treatment Plan
Prism therapy typically includes one pre-training session followed by 15 treatment sessions, each lasting about 30 minutes. Sessions are held twice a week over the course of about two months. Throughout the process, your clinician will guide you and help you discover the strategies that work best for you.
