Biofeedback Certification Institute of America – Make sure that you use clinician who has training and is certified. Steven C. Kassel has been Board Certified in Biofeedback since 1985 and Board Certified in Neurofeedback since the early 1990’s. I believe that it is important to choose a clinician who has been trained in biofeedback or neurofeedback and has studied and passed these certification exams. It exemplifies competency standards for those working withthis branch mind-body medicine. When choosing someone, make sure it IS biofeedback when they advertise biofeedback. (Warning: there are salons and hair studios offering up something they call biofeedback which is not biofeedback). Ask questions and if not sure call me or BCIA.org,
