StressTherapy Solutions is proud to offer a brand-new, innovative workshop:
Live Z-Score Training Intensive Part 2 For Intermediates and Advanced Users
Dates Coming soon!
Crowne Plaza Cleveland South Independence
5300 Rockside Rd.
Independence, OH 44131
Instructors: Thomas Collura – PhD, QEEG-D, BCN, LPCC
Penijean Gracefire – LMHC, BCN, QEEG-T
Total CEs: 21 Hours
As co-instructors, Tom Collura and Penijean Gracefire bring a unique combination of experience and skills to the learning environment. They, along with others, have worked together since 2006 to develop and refine the original clinical applications of Z-score training and to create international standards for both the educational and practical implementation of database guided neurofeedback.
Specifically designed for the advanced provider, this workshop will offer in-depth clinical analysis of qEEG brain maps, review more complex applications of the BrainAvatar software (such as Z-Builder and data interpretation), discuss how to customize surface and sLORETA z-score training protocols based on more complex treatment goals, and examine pre and post maps from case studies to explore more nuanced client management strategies.
