My 11 year old has been working with Tonya and has made incredible progress. Neurofeedback has helped him with his reading, organization, emotional regulation and more. It has made such a difference! The treatment really works and I’m excited to see how it can help my other family members and me as well.
I have had the pleasure of working with Tonya at Brain Train Center, St. Louis for over a couple of months. I have noticed some improvement in my sleep patterns and improvements in other areas of focus for me. The science of neuroscience is exciting and IT WORKS. I look forward to my continued progress.
I’m thoroughly impressed and grateful!!
My depression has decreased and social anxiety has improved.
The brain mapping is truly an invaluable feature. The mappings actually MEASURED and validated things about my experience I always knew to be true but never had evidence for… And THEN measured the improvements that were occurring!
The training sessions are even a relaxing experience!
I crossed paths with Tonya at a time I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I felt like I could not catch a thought. I have so many tools at my disposal to help myself process thoughts and shift mindsets AND I couldn’t slow down to catch a thought to use these tools. It was emotionally overwhelming and draining.
After several sessions with Brian Training nuerofeedback therapy with Tonya, I was able to feel a slow down. After several weeks of sessions, I could feel a clarity and peace I had been missing. I could catch a thought again and it was freeing!
Tonya is kind, patient, enthusiastic, and a skilled therapist. If you have any interest in learning more about how Brain Training could improve your life, I recommend scheduling a Brain Mapping session with Tonya.
I can’t say enough about Tonya as a therapist or this training which calms me and allows my brain to grow and change. I feel calmer already and I feel like this therapy does what no other can. I know it’s not covered by some insurance yet but it’s worth the investment in every aspect of my life. I can’t be more grateful.
You don’t need to push yourself to calm down. You don’t need to fix anything. You don’t have to figure it all out in this moment.
Simply stop and notice—right now, you are here.
I’m Tonya Winingar, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Behavioral Health Coach, and Certified Neurofeedback Therapist. Over the years, I’ve guided people through some of their hardest and heaviest moments. And what I’ve seen, time and again, is this: the intensity you’re feeling is not who you are.
What’s happening inside you is your nervous system firing off an alarm. It’s designed to keep you alive, not to keep you calm. That surge of chaos you feel? That’s biology—not failure. And just as it comes on strong, it can be soothed.
So let’s do something together—something simple and physical, a reset button for your body’s alarm system.
Place your hand on your chest.
Notice the gentle lift as you breathe in. The soft fall as you breathe out. This steady rhythm is your reminder—you’re alive, you’re present, and you’re safe in this moment.
Keep your hand there.
Your mind may be insisting there are hundreds of things demanding your attention. But the truth? Right now, you only have three choices. And you only need to choose one.
