Kristin Mazzarese
Kristin is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board Certified Neurotherapist. She has been working with children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings for over two decades. Kristin approaches each client with empathy and respect, understanding the strength it takes to share your individual story. Kristin chose the name of her company, State of Mind Counseling, based on the William James quote, "If you can change your mind, you can change your life." She believes in the immense power of the mind, and in a person's ability to make even the most difficult life changes. Kristin received her Master's Degree from Penn State University in 2004 and began her career as a professional counselor at a unique school with many diverse needs in the Baltimore, MD area. Upon moving to Evergreen, CO in 2014 she was introduced to the science of neurofeedback. She was immediately impressed by how this form of therapy can address the root cause of many struggles - imbalanced brain activity. Kristin knows the combination of personalized counseling and quality neurofeedback to be powerful and transformative. In Kristin's downtime, she loves to play tennis, read, enjoy the beauty of Colorado, and spend time with family and friends.

A Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) brain map is a non-invasive procedure that allows us to identify unhelpful patterns of brain activity that can contribute to many unwanted symptoms. Knowing where our brain is unbalanced, overactive, or underactive, gives us valuable information and can guide more specialized treatment. Kristin has received extensive training in analyzing QEEG data in order to earn the certification of QEEG-Diplomate (QEEG-D).

Neurofeedback is a specific and individually tailored training program for your brain, based on the results uncovered in the QEEG brain map. It allows your brain to learn more productive, flexible patterns and build new neural pathways. Neurofeedback provides impressive results for those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, traumatic brain injuries, ADHD, learning disabilities, sleep problems, or those wanting increased emotional regulation and cognitive performance. It is an ideal treatment for anyone interested in improving their overall brain function and quality of life. Kristin has performed thousands of neurofeedback sessions and is Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN).
