For many of Afton Therapy clients, healing starts with a simple but powerful shift: understanding that mental health symptoms aren’t just something to cope with, but also patterns the brain has learned. And with the right support, those patterns can change.

At Afton Therapy, licensed psychotherapist and board-certified neurofeedback clinician Mindy Haukedahl works with individuals who are ready to manage anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and more by combining talking through their experiences with retraining the brain itself.

“As a neuropsychotherapist, I’m passionate about helping people heal from a holistic perspective,” Mindy says. “When we train the brain to function in desired frequencies, we can eliminate symptoms that have kept people stuck for years.”

More than symptom relief


Whether someone comes in feeling anxious, unmotivated, or emotionally reactive, the work at Afton Therapy begins with compassion and curiosity. 

Using neurofeedback and psychotherapy together, clients begin to gain awareness of their internal patterns and discover how much those patterns can shift when the brain is given the right tools.

“Neurofeedback offers people the opportunity to become the person they’ve dreamed of becoming,” she says.

That transformation can show up in many areas of life: improved focus in the classroom, better performance in athletics, clearer communication in relationships, and stronger decision-making in business. 

According to Mindy, as clients learn to self-regulate, they often feel more present, more confident, and more in control of their thoughts.


Why at-home neurofeedback works


Neurofeedback is a method for training the brain to operate with greater balance and resilience. It provides real-time insight into brain activity, identifies patterns that may be dysregulated, and gradually reinforces more optimal functioning through practice.

Because consistency is key, Afton Therapy uses Myndlift to guide clients through neurofeedback sessions from home. This flexibility allows them to train more frequently, stick with the process, and see results faster.

“Myndlift is the perfect neurofeedback platform for at-home training,” she says. “It’s crucial for consistency, and consistency is what leads to results.”

Through close monitoring, data-driven insights, and regular check-ins, Afton Therapy provides the support clients need to stay on track and feel empowered in their healing.


Healing through the brain, the body, and beyond


For Mindy, brain training is never isolated from the bigger picture. With advanced training in brain optimization, health, and recovery, her approach is always grounded in whole-person care.

“No matter what the mind, body, and soul are experiencing, holistic healing is possible.”

It’s this belief, which is backed by research, and experience, that guides everything at Afton Therapy. And for many of her clients, it’s what finally opens the door to change that feels both powerful and lasting.
