Data-Driven Care for Autism Spectrum Support
Living with Autism Spectrum conditions often involves navigating sensory processing differences, executive functioning obstacles, communication hurdles, and heightened anxiety. While every individual’s neurological profile is unique, traditional behavioral therapies alone do not always address underlying neural dysregulation.
At Psychogenix, led by Lawrence G. Lyons, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, we take a compassionate, science-backed approach. By pairing thorough clinical neuropsychology with non-invasive brain technologies, we aim to help calm overactive nervous system responses, enhance daily functional abilities, and foster long-term emotional resilience.
Book OnlineHow We Assess Neural Activity
Effective support begins with an objective understanding of how the brain processes information.
- Quantitative EEG (QEEG) Brain Mapping: A painless assessment that records electrical brainwave patterns. QEEG allows Dr. Lyons to identify specific areas of hyper-arousal (often linked to sensory overload or anxiety) or hypo-arousal (linked to focus and communication challenges).
- Neuro-Cognitive Evaluations: Comprehensive testing that measures memory, attention, executive function, and adaptive processing skills.
Non-Invasive Therapies & Technologies
Once mapping is complete, we design a customized support plan using advanced, non-pharmaceutical modalities:
1. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) & Soterix Technology
Delivers gentle micro-currents through specialized scalp electrodes to modulate cortical excitability. Featuring industry-standard Soterix Medical technology, tDCS can be calibrated to calm overactive neural networks or encourage focus and cognitive processing.
2. Neurofeedback & Biofeedback
Interactive brain-training sessions that teach the brain to self-regulate. Over time, neurofeedback helps individuals recognize and adjust physical and mental stress responses.
3. Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) & Light Therapies
Advanced acoustic pulse and photobiomodulation technologies that stimulate cellular energy production and promote neuroplasticity in targeted brain regions.
4. Behavioral & Family Counseling
Dr. Lyons integrates non-invasive brain technology with goal-oriented psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and family counseling to support emotional growth, practical coping strategies, and daily life skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are tDCS and neurofeedback safe for autism spectrum support?
Yes. Modalities like tDCS, neurofeedback, and QEEG brain mapping are non-invasive and generally very well-tolerated. Sessions do not involve sedation or medication, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout.
Does Psychogenix accept insurance for autism support programs?
We accept California Workers’ Compensation for eligible claims. For private care, we operate as a self-pay practice and partner with Cherry Finance and CareCredit to offer flexible monthly payment options.
How many sessions are typically required?
Because every individual’s nervous system is different, treatment duration varies. After your initial QEEG brain mapping and consultation, Dr. Lyons will recommend a personalized timeline.
