EveLynn
McGuinness, Ph.D. has been licensed as a clinical psychologist
since 1993. She had spent 10 years doing brain research
at Caltech before joining Sharon Rae Deacon, Ph.D. and
Associates in 1992. Dr. McGuinness recieved her Ph.D.
in Psychology from Vanderbilt University where she combined
clinical questions with a psychological approach to
research. She has a strong background in the biological
basis of behavior and completed a postdoctoral fellowship
at UCLA working jointly in the Department of Psychology
and the Brain Research Institute. Dr. McGuinness is
listed in Who's Who of Women in America. Since 1991,
she has worked full time in clincial practice.
Dr.
McGuinness treats a wide range of conditions requiring
psychological treatment or emotional support. She
has considerable experience with addictions, including
smoking and overeating. She is certified as proficient
in the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse by the
American Psychological Association College of Professional
Psychology. She has also received considerable training
in psychopharmacology and is extremely comfortable
collaborating with M.D.'s to achieve optimal results
from medication. She has combined clinical practice
with her love of animals by using one of her dogs
as an adjunct to therapy at times. Piaf is very popular
with children (and sometimes adults too). In addition,
Dr. McGuinness works with pet bereavement issues as
well as human.
Neurofeedback
training provides Dr. McGuinness the opportunity to
combine her expertise in neural processing with Clinical
Psychology. She has considerable experience doing
neurofeedback with children and adults with AD/HD.
The Range of disorders treated has rapidly expanded.
We aree now using neurofeedback to treat a wide range
of psychological and medical conditions. Often, we
find we can optimize treatment by combining traditional
psychotherapy with neurofeedback training.
Medical
conditions treated include sleep disorders, hypertension,
migraine, PMS, and pain management. Psychological
conditions such as panic attacks, generalized anxiety,
and depression also respond well to neurofeedback
training. In our experience, a multi-modal approach
using behavioral interventions as well as neurofeedback
produces optimal results in most cases. For some children,
neurofeedback alone is indicated when the child does
not relate to others well enough to benefit from conventional
therapy at first
