In-Office Training
After a conversation and exploration, together we can create an individualized training plan that best suits your needs. This individualized approach will allow us to help suggest a plan to help you uplevel your skills and your practice, and take the quickest path from where you are to where you want to be! We have found that 2-3 days are usually a good option, with most offices falling into the 2 day training option.
Below are 16 modules that you will be able to consider and will help us develop an individualized training program that supports your desires and needs.

Several examples of different clinics/practitioners, and how we might structure the training modules for their individual needs
1. Office #1, basic training, this might be for somebody who has never done neurofeedback and was not able to have initial in person training, but can now have training brought into their office in this way. (or for training new staff.)
2-day training program:
Day 1: Module 1, 2, 3, 4
Day 2: Module 5, 6, 7, 8
2. Office #2, this might be for an office that has been doing neurofeedback for a few years and is wanting to take it to a new level and maybe add multiple units or even multiple clinic locations, or to work on up-leveling the results they’re getting.
2-day training program:
Day 1: Module 5, 6, 7, 9
Day 2: Module 11, 13, 14, 16
3. Office #3, it could be constructed to train multiple people (for example if they have a new neurofeedback technician) as well as upping a provider’s game in case management or community outreach/giving educational talks in office or in the community.)
3-day training program:
Day 1: Module 1, 2, 3 to a new employee, module 16 with the Dr.
Day 2: Module 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 with Dr. Only
Day 3: Module 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 for whole office
Where appropriate, all practitioners should watch all applicable New Mind or Braincore training videos (or whatever training videos your system offers) before the in-office training, so we can expand on that knowledge in person
Pricing
20 minute intro call to see if we are a good fit. No Charge.
In-office training programs:
3,300-3,900 for the first full day of training in your office (9-11 hours per day). (Price range depends on how far your office is from NC)
2,700 for each additional day of in-office training.
We will cover all travel, hotels, etc.
Consultations charged at 240 per hour. Billed by the minute.
Packages of 10 hours can be purchased at a 10% discount (which could apply to the BCIA technician board certification component.)
Packages of 25 hours can also be purchased at a 10% discount (which could apply to the BCIA practitioner board certification component.)
If you think that you may want to become board certified in the future, it’s best to let us know and we will let the BCIA office know so our time together can potentially count towards those requirements. We cannot retroactively count any hours previous to when your name is put in their system by us, or another certified BCIA mentor. (There is no charge or downside to putting your name on their list if you think you may want to pursue that in the future.)
Calls will be scheduled in 30 or 60 minute increments via Calendly and will be billed at only the actual amount of minutes we spend together. To minimize those minutes we can agree on a way for you to deliver information and questions to us so that it can be briefly reviewed before our call and we can make the best use of our time together.
All unused, prepaid fees are refundable (for any reason, if either of us decides it’s no longer a good fit.)
From Dr. Yonce
The training modules above are tailored to New Mind’s software and systems, but could be modified to fit other practitioner’s systems. While I am familiar with other forms of software and systems such as Brainmaster, Bioexplorer, etc – all of my units in all offices are from New Mind at this point, so any other software bugs or trouble should be addressed with the software manufacturer.
I would welcome a conversation with you to explore how I might be able to help you shave several years off of your natural learning curve in a few hours or days – with individualized, specific and focused training.
