Neuro Nashville, associated with Safi Counseling, is a neurofeedback practice located in Nashville, Tennessee. The practice provides neurofeedback therapy, which it describes as a safe, drug-free approach used to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and related concerns. Services are led by Dr. Natali Efstathiou, PhD, a Licensed Psychologist in Tennessee with more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field across settings that include private practice, community mental health, a university counseling center, a state hospital, and in-home services.
Services
The practice centers on neurofeedback, a form of training intended to help regulate brainwave activity over time. Neuro Nashville offers several neurofeedback approaches described on its website:
- Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) neurofeedback, which the practice presents as a form of neurotherapy for people experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, and more. The practice describes infra-low frequency training as providing initial physical calming and stabilization. ILF sessions can be engaging, with feedback embedded in movies, streaming video, or video games viewed on a screen during a session.
- Alpha-Theta training, which aims to achieve balance and maintain ideal amplification and frequency of brainwaves. With headphones on, a client is guided into a deep, meditative-like state similar to the state experienced just before deeper stages of sleep. The practice describes this method as helping process unresolved traumatic experiences and reduce heightened reactions to triggers and stressors.
- Synchrony training, which the practice describes as promoting a state of calm focus similar to mindfulness exercises and, when appropriate, enhancing the benefits of infra-low frequency neurofeedback.
About
To develop a treatment plan, clinicians consider significant events a person has experienced along with physical and emotional symptoms. The plan specifies which method to use (infra-low frequency, alpha-theta, and/or synchrony) and where to “train the brain” over time, described in terms such as front-back and left-right placement. During a first visit, the practice discusses the client’s areas of focus, determines whether neurofeedback is a good fit, and, if appropriate, develops a treatment plan and schedules recurring appointments.

Additional Information
Neuro Nashville operates under the Safi Counseling banner and focuses specifically on neurofeedback-based services rather than a broad range of clinical offerings. The practice frames neurofeedback as a drug-free option and tailors each plan to the individual based on their reported history and symptoms. The combination of methods is presented as complementary: infra-low frequency training is described as providing initial calming and stabilization, while alpha-theta training provides the opportunity to process unresolved traumatic experiences, and synchrony training is added when appropriate to support a state of calm focus. Sessions are designed to be engaging, with feedback for the infra-low frequency method embedded in screen-based content such as movies or video games viewed during the session.
