Firefly Neurofeedback
A New Path to Understanding & Support
At Horizon Behavioral Health, we believe you deserve compassionate care tailored to your unique story.
We provide a full continuum of services—from mental-health treatment to substance-use support, case-management, outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, and beyond—all designed to meet you where you are.
That’s why we’ve added a new tool powered by the Firefly platform—technology that helps us see how your brain is functioning so we can better understand what you’re experiencing and how to help.
This is not a diagnosis by itself. It’s a deeper look into brain function that gives your clinician more information to guide your care.
Why This Matters for You
Many people feel anxious, unfocused, overwhelmed, or “not like themselves” and aren’t sure why. Traditional evaluations rely on symptoms alone. The Firefly platform adds something more: objective information about how your brain is processing and responding.
This helps your clinician:
- Understand what may be contributing to your symptoms
- Personalize your treatment plan
- Track changes over time
- Make decisions based on what’s happening inside the brain—not just what’s visible on the surface.
It’s about giving you answers and a clearer path forward.
What the Test Is Like
The session is:
- Safe and non-invasive — no needles, no discomfort
- Quick — typically completed in under an hour
- Comfortable — you simply sit while sensors record your brain’s electrical activity.
You may watch a screen or respond to simple prompts, which help us understand how your brain handles information, reacts to sound or images, and processes attention.
There is no medication and no pain involved.
What We Learn
The Firefly platform measures two key things your brain does:
- Baseline activity: how your brain behaves at rest
- Real-time responses: how your brain reacts to specific tasks or stimuli.
These patterns can help your clinician understand whether certain brain networks are working harder than they should, not activating enough, or struggling to stay in balance.
We use this information alongside your symptoms and history—never alone—to guide next steps in care.
Who This Can Help
This tool may be helpful for individuals experiencing:
- Anxiety or mood changes
- Trouble concentrating or staying organized
- Emotional overwhelm
- Brain fog or slowed thinking
- Cognitive changes after stress, illness, or injury
- Challenges related to aging
If you’ve felt “off” but haven’t had clear answers, this may help show what’s going on behind the scenes.
What Happens After the Test
Your clinician will review the results with you.
Together, you’ll discuss:
- What the patterns mean
- How they may relate to your symptoms
- What treatment options may support your brain more effectively
- How your progress will be monitored over time
This helps make your care more personal, precise, and informed.
