About

Carl Ellis, Dr.

We are an outpatient mental health clinic that serves children, adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of problems. We provide individualized evidence-based interventions to address an array of life's diverse challenges, so that each individual can reach his or her full potential.

in additionofferNeurofeedback/ Neurotherapy works to train better brain function, better self-regulation and better emotional control. These techniques expand the options for effective and practical solutions for clients and their families.

At The Neurotherapy Center of Virginia Beach, we provide a variety of state-of-the-art, science-based neurotherapy interventions, including :
Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG)/Brain Map
LORETA 19 channel 3-D Z score neurofeedback
Surface Z score neurofeedback
Alpha-theta-gamma training
Other innovative technologies as indicate by Brain Map results

We believe that it is only when an exhaustive analysis of brain functioning is performed that you can maximize the effectiveness of such therapies. We go to extensive measures to match treatment to the patient's specific symptoms. By focusing only on areas of dysregulation, qEEG-guided Neurotherapy response times can be much shorter than taking a shotgun approach and using only guesswork as to the specific treatment that is best for the patient. As indicated in the second video, "We need to take a look at the brain before putting anything into it."

These well researched technologies are used to provide totally individualized neurotherapy treatment for symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, seizures, migraines, autism, learning disabilities and more.

Most definitely not an expert on "Aspergers" or any Autism. Neurofeedback is a pyramid scheme that bankrupts parents as it magically is STILL not considered therapy but experimental in the world of insurance. Our child is permanently scarred and has PTSD from his experience with this highly unprofessional "expert" and his revolving door of staff. After all these years, I have no idea how he's still in business. I feel so deeply sorry for the children that are subjected to this company. Parents, there are actual resources out there to help your family; this isn't one of them, in our opinion.

Absolutely no stars. Dr. Ellis is extremely unprofessional and condescending. He doesn't care about the patient at all and will not let you finish a sentence. He comes off as someone who will diagnose you with ADHD or Autism in the first 5 minutes of seeing you, even with no proof. He pushes his neuro treatments and after he "sells you" on them he tells you insurance doesn't cover it and it will cost you thousands with mandatory several treatments a week. His staff is always changing and they don't seem to know what is going on with the clients. Dr. Ellis is also apparently very comfortable always cancelling, leaving, and handing his clients off to others! He is a waste of time and money. I would spend my time with someone worth the money.

Did the environment feel well thought out with a holistic approach in mind?
