About

Mentioned On

Tom Beckstead has a master’s degree in Psychology, where Positive Psychology was his main focus of study.  Instead of solely focusing on pathologies and the treatment of pathologies, positive psychology is the idea that we must shift the way we think about our mental and physical health.  As people proactively shift their focus to the positive aspects of their lives, when they do experience mental and physical illness the severity of their symptoms are reduced.  The result of positive thinking is an overall increase in the quality of their life.  Tom has always wanted to have a career in a helping profession.  After Tom graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in psychology he worked as a licensed social worker for over six years. 



Here his main focus was helping those with severe and persistent mental illness recover.  On a daily basis Tom helped his clients find employment by assisting them as they developed a resume as well as assisted throughout the interview process.  Tom also assisted his clients to work on developing or relearning skills they had forgotten due to severe mental health issues.  When Tom learned about the positive impact neurofeedback has on people’s lives, he immediately took the opportunity be a part of this non-invasive and holistic approach to helping people treat and recover from mental health issues. Neurofeedback is a great tool to help treat many different mental health diagnoses.  From his past experience Tom has learned the importance of therapy and medication and now understands the positive impact neurofeedback will have in helping people reduce or eliminate the negative symptoms they are currently experiencing.  Neurofeedback is another great option in helping people improve their quality of life.
