This technology is suitable for individuals looking for a safe and portable option that complements traditional counseling approaches. Alpha-Stim has been well-received by many clients who appreciate its convenience and effectiveness in promoting a sense of calm and mental clarity. We offer the opportunity to use it during your in-person sessions at GCC, to rent on a monthly basis, or to purchase for at-home use.

How does Alpha-Stim work?
Alpha-Stim operates by delivering a low-level electrical current, imperceptible to the user, through earclip electrodes. This stimulates the production of alpha brainwaves, which are associated with a relaxed and focused mental state. By encouraging balanced neural activity, Alpha-Stim aims to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The device is easy to use, portable, and can be integrated into your daily routine under the guidance of our counseling professionals. Alpha-Stim's effectiveness is supported by extensive research, making it a reliable option for those seeking an evidence-based, drug-free solution to enhance their mental well-being.
