Understanding Your Mind to Guide Your Path to Well-Being
At Denise Pounds Counseling, we believe that understanding your unique needs is the first step toward a personalized roadmap for your mental health. That’s why we offer comprehensive assessments, including the Distress Test OQ 45.2 and the LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) Online Questionnaire. These tools help us tailor therapy and neurofeedback sessions to your specific goals, whether in-person in Amarillo or virtually across Texas.

Why Assessments Matter
Assessments serve as a compass through the complex landscape of mental health. By understanding your experiences, challenges, and goals, we can create a holistic, individualized plan that addresses both your emotional and physiological well-being.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback retrains and reconditions brainwave patterns to improve self-regulation of the central nervous system. Your brain naturally learns to function more efficiently, often without medication or supplements.
Neurofeedback can help with:
-
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression
-
ADHD / ADD and learning challenges
-
Insomnia, migraines, and chronic pain
-
PTSD, trauma, and substance use
-
Head injuries, concussions, and stroke
-
Autism, Asperger’s, OCD, and more
We offer traditional Neurofeedback and LENS, a cutting-edge, low-energy system.
LENS Online Questionnaire
The LENS Online Questionnaire maps your brain patterns to identify areas that may benefit from neurofeedback. This non-invasive process helps:
-
Assess brain function in real-time
-
Deliver personalized, gentle neurofeedback
-
Promote optimal brain functioning and overall well-being
Distress Test OQ 45.2
The Distress Test OQ 45.2 measures your emotional well-being and daily functioning, including:
-
Emotional health: anxiety, depression, and distress

By completing these assessments, you provide valuable insights that allow our counselors to create a tailored, effective therapeutic plan.
