ADHD in Israel: How Neurofeedback Offers a Natural Alternative for Children and Adults

If you or your child has been diagnosed with ADHD in Israel, you already know how difficult it can be to find the right support — especially in English. Waiting lists are long, English-speaking specialists are rare, and the question of medication is one that many families struggle with.

More and more English-speaking parents and adults in the Ra'anana and Tel Aviv area are now asking a different question: is there a natural, drug-free approach that actually works?

The answer is yes — and it has a name: NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback.

What Is Neurofeedback and How Does It Work?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training method that helps the brain learn more balanced and efficient patterns of functioning. It does not involve medication, needles, or any form of discomfort.

During a session, small sensors are placed on the scalp and ears. These sensors read the brain's electrical activity in real time. When the software detects a pattern that is outside the brain's optimal range, it sends a brief, gentle signal — a small interruption in the music the client is listening to. The brain notices this signal and naturally begins to self-correct over time.

Think of it as a mirror for the brain. Just as we adjust our posture when we see ourselves in a mirror, the brain adjusts its own patterns when it receives this type of real-time feedback.

How Can Neurofeedback Help with ADHD?

Individuals with ADHD often experience challenges in the following areas:

• Sustaining attention during tasks

• Managing impulsivity and hyperactivity

• Organizing thoughts and completing tasks

• Regulating emotions and reactions

• Falling asleep and maintaining consistent sleep patterns

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback sessions are designed to support the brain in developing more stable and regulated patterns. Many clients — both children and adults — report gradual improvements in focus, emotional regulation, sleep quality, and overall daily functioning after a series of sessions.

It is important to note that neurofeedback is not a medical treatment and does not replace professional medical or psychological care. It is a complementary approach that many families choose alongside other forms of support.

Why English-Speaking Families in Israel Are Turning to Neurofeedback

Finding quality mental health support in English in Israel is genuinely challenging. According to recent surveys of English-speaking residents, identifying the right specialist with appropriate follow-up remains the number one difficulty for the anglophone community.

Florence Hazan's practice in Ra'anana offers a welcoming, professional environment where sessions are conducted entirely in English. There is no waiting list, no complex intake process, and a free 15-minute introductory call is available for families who want to understand whether this approach may be suitable for their situation.

The clinic is conveniently located at 10B Ostrovsky Street, Ra'anana, and is easily accessible from Herzliya, Kfar Saba, Netanya, and the greater Tel Aviv area.

What to Expect from a NeurOptimal® Session

A typical session at Florence Hazan's clinic follows a straightforward process:

1. The client sits comfortably in a reclining chair

2. Five small sensors are gently placed on the scalp and ears

3. The client listens to music or watches something on a screen

4. The session lasts 33 minutes

5. No effort or concentration is required from the client

Children generally adapt very quickly to the process and many find the sessions enjoyable and relaxing. Adults often describe feeling calmer and more focused in the days following a session.
