She has had previous careers in both the Arts and Technology and has a passion for working with people recovering from traumatic brain injury. She discovered neurofeedback while recovering from brain injury (incurred in 2000), and now this modality is an integral part of her practice: combining brain science with talk therapy alongside other applied interventions to achieve symptom reduction and optimal results.
Dr. Cardell and Sound Mind Neurofeedback Healing Center (a marriage and family therapy corporation) provide psychotherapy services, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) mapping, EEG brain training, neurostimulation (LENS, tACS, tDCS, and pEMF), as well as heart rate variability training, and other interventions targeting symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and TBI.
Other modalities and styles of psychotherapy include but are not limited to: hypnosis, CBT, DBT, ACT, Creative Expression, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic reflection, psychosynthesis, mindfulness-based interventions, relaxation techniques, solutions-focused and strengths-based interventions, and longer-term existential-humanistic talk therapy based on Logo-Therapy (meaning-based therapy) established by Viktor Frankl.
