Your Brain Spa Menu

Neurofeedback
Train your brain while you relax. Neurofeedback uses real-time feedback from your brainwaves to help your brain learn healthier patterns. You'll watch a video or play a game while sensors on your head do the work. It's painless, drug-free, and most clients find it genuinely relaxing.

TMS
Gentle magnetic pulses that wake up your brain. TMS uses targeted magnetic stimulation to activate or calm specific brain regions. Sessions are short, painless, and require no downtime. Most people describe it as a light tapping sensation on the head.
QEEG Brain Mapping
AURA by Neurolimits is our advanced alternative to traditional QEEG. It identifies disorder-specific biomarkers, calculates your brain's biological age, and lets you explore your brain activity in an interactive 3D model. This is how we know exactly what's going on and how to fix it.

Psychological Evaluation
Finally get clear answers. Our comprehensive evaluations assess how you or your child thinks, learns, and processes emotions. You'll receive a detailed report with a clear diagnosis and actionable next steps. Most reports are ready in about a week, far faster than the industry standard.

E-MapT (EEG-Mapped TMS)
TMS customized to your unique brain. E-MapT uses your brain's own electrical patterns to guide exactly where and how we apply magnetic stimulation. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, your treatment is precision-targeted for better results.

At-Home Sleep Studies
Sleep in your own bed, get real answers. We send you home with a small device that tracks your breathing, oxygen, heart rate, and sleep quality overnight. You'll receive a detailed report showing exactly what's happening while you sleep and what to do about it.

Sleep Consultation
Fix what's keeping you up. We look at your habits, routines, environment, and stress levels to find what's sabotaging your sleep. Then we give you a personalized plan to finally get the rest you need.

Diet Consultation
Fuel your brain the right way. What you eat directly affects how you think and feel. We'll help you identify foods that support focus, mood, and energy, and the ones that might be working against you.

Psychotherapy
Talk therapy that actually moves the needle. Our psychotherapy services help you understand your patterns, process difficult emotions, and build practical coping skills. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we meet you where you are.
Every brain is different. Here's what happened for some of our clients.
TMS for Depression
Woman, early 40s
She had been on and off antidepressants for nearly a decade. Nothing fully worked and she was tired of feeling like a muted version of herself.
By week three I caught myself laughing at something my daughter said. I can’t tell you the last time that happened. By the end I just felt like me again. Not medicated me. Just me. Oh and the ringing in my ears I’d had for years? Gone. I didn’t even come here for that.
— Her story
”TMS for Anxiety
Man, late 20s
He had tried SSRIs but stopped because they made him feel emotionally flat. The anxiety never went away though and it was affecting his sleep and his relationship.
So I’m not gonna lie, the first two weeks I was like, did I just waste a bunch of money? I wasn’t feeling anything different. But then my girlfriend pointed out I wasn’t checking the door lock a million times before bed anymore. I started paying attention after that. The mental noise got quieter. And now I sleep through the night which literally never happened before.
— His story
”TMS for Neuropathy
Man, late 50s
He had neuropathy pain in his feet for six years. Burning, tingling, random sharp pain. He had tried every medication and supplement he could find with no relief.
I approached this methodically. I kept a pain journal before and during treatment, rating my symptoms on a scale of one to ten each day. For the first three weeks my average hovered around seven, consistent with my baseline. Week four I noticed a drop to five. By the end of treatment I was averaging a two, sometimes a one. The burning that used to keep me up at night is essentially gone. I can walk around the neighborhood again without planning my route around benches to rest on. The data speaks for itself.
— His story
”Neurofeedback for Anxiety
Man, mid 30s
He was an overthinker who couldn’t turn his brain off at night. He wanted to address the root cause instead of masking it with medication.
I had a Vegas trip planned with the guys and I cancelled it because I didn’t want to miss my sessions that week. That’s when I knew something was different. Old me would’ve been way too worried about what they’d think to cancel. I just didn’t care. My brain felt more important than Vegas.
— His story
”Neurofeedback for ADHD
Boy, 10 years old (as told by his mother)
He couldn’t sit through homework and was constantly getting in trouble at school for not paying attention. His parents brought him in for a psychological evaluation which confirmed ADHD. They wanted to try neurofeedback before considering medication.
His teacher emailed us about two months in asking what we changed. He’s staying in his seat now. He’s finishing his work. He raises his hand. At home he does homework without one of us standing over him the whole time. He’s still got his energy, he’s still him, but he can actually focus when he needs to. This is what we were hoping for.
— His mother’s story

Sam Shapiro, MD
Medical Director
Dr. Shapiro brings 15 years of psychiatric expertise and a calm, thoughtful approach to every client. He's board-certified and has seen it all, but what sets him apart is how he listens. Clients say he makes them feel heard, not rushed. Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his family.

Neurofeedback trains your brain to work better by giving it real-time feedback on its own activity. You watch a video or play a game while sensors on your head track your brainwaves. When your brain moves toward healthier patterns the video plays smoothly. When it drifts the video dims slightly. Over time your brain learns to stay in the healthier patterns on its own. It's painless, drug-free, and most clients find it relaxing and enjoyable.
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate or calm specific areas of the brain. Sessions are short, painless, and require no downtime. TMS is commonly used for depression, anxiety, OCD, and many other disorders and cognitive challenges. Most people describe it as a light tapping sensation on the head.
It depends on what you're working on. For neurofeedback we typically recommend around 40 sessions for lasting results. TMS protocols usually range from 20 to 40 sessions. Some people notice improvements within the first few weeks while others take longer. We track your progress throughout so we know when you're ready to finish.

No. All of our treatments are painless. Neurofeedback feels like watching a movie. TMS feels like a light tapping on your head. Most clients find sessions relaxing.
Beyond neurofeedback and TMS we offer psychological evaluations, QEEG brain mapping with AURA, EEG-Mapped TMS, at-home sleep studies, sleep consultations, diet consultations, and psychotherapy. Everything is tailored to your specific needs.
Absolutely. We work with kids as young as five. Neurofeedback is especially popular with children because it feels like playing a video game. Parents love that their kids actually look forward to coming. We help with focus, attention, emotional regulation, behavior challenges, anxiety, and more.
Yes. You don't need a diagnosis to benefit. We work with executives who want sharper thinking, athletes looking for a mental edge, students preparing for exams, and anyone who wants better sleep, focus, or stress resilience. If your brain can work better, beyond its limits, we can help.

We are conveniently located at 1705 S Capital of Texas Hwy Ste 400, Austin, TX 78746. Detailed directions and parking information can be found on our Contact Us page.
At this time, we only offer remote/virtual sessions for psychotherapy and for consults.
Your first appointment is a free consultation. We'll talk about what's going on, your history, and your goals. If we think we can help we'll recommend a plan. If we're not the right fit we'll tell you that too. No pressure and no commitment.
It varies. Some clients notice changes within the first few sessions. Others take a few weeks. We track your progress with regular check-ins, questionnaires, and in some cases, brain mappings so we can see what's changing even before you feel it.
We're honest about what we can and can't help with. Not everyone is a fit and that's okay. During your consultation we'll tell you upfront if we think our services are likely to help based on your situation. If you start treatment and aren't seeing progress we'll adjust the plan or have an honest conversation about next steps.
Yes. Most HSA and FSA accounts cover our services. Check with your provider to confirm your specific plan.
We hear this a lot. Many of our clients come to us after years of medication, therapy, and frustration. The difference is we work directly with your brain, training it to function better rather than just managing symptoms. We can't promise miracles but we can promise a thorough assessment and an honest conversation about whether we can help.
