Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Tiff Thompson, Clinical Neuroscientist and CEO, who is building the future of neurotherapy with proprietary brain technology, as my guest—sharing insights on innovation, neuroscience, and the transformative potential of next-generation brain health solutions.
Tiff ThompsonClinical Neuroscientist & CEO Building the Future of Neurotherapy with Proprietary Brain TechI didn’t start out in neuroscience — I started in the corporate world. In my 20s I was a wind energy developer, living the high-performing, high-achieving life… and quietly realizing I was miserable. My personal life was cracking, I was in a season of heartbreak, and even though I looked successful on the outside, I knew something had to change.Then in 2011, I had an experience that completely redirected my life.I walked into a small brain-training clinic, got hooked up to a neurofeedback-style system, and for the first time I felt what it was like to work with the brain directly — not just through insight or willpower, but through measurable feedback and real change. I walked out of that session knowing: this is what I’m supposed to do.I left my career, started over from the ground up, and committed my life to understanding what most people never get to see: the story the brain is telling beneath the symptoms. Along the way, I earned multiple degrees and advanced credentials to do this work with real clinical depth — including a PhD, becoming a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), and advanced EEG credentials as a QEEG-D and REEGT. I learned how to interpret the nervous system through the lens of brain data, patterns, and human experience — so we’re not guessing, we’re assessing.Today, I’m the CEO of a rapidly scaling neurotherapy clinic and school. We work with people who feel stuck — anxiety, trauma patterns, ADHD-style focus issues, burnout, sleep disruption, mood instability, cognitive decline — and we combine clinical neuroscience, neurodiagnostics, and neurotherapy to help create real, lasting change.One of the most exciting parts of our work is NeuroField’s multi-modal brain stimulation technology, which is changing what brain stimulation can look like. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we use a customized, highly personal model designed to meet the brain where it is — supporting regulation, resilience, and performance in a way that’s guided by clinical insight and measurable feedback.What makes this unique is that we’re not only doing this work inside the clinic — we’re expanding it. Through the School of Neurotherapy, we offer education and credentialing programs to train practitioners in this personalized, brain-based approach, helping spread a more effective, ethical, and human-centered model of care.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
