4 Primary Areas of Treatment

We utilize cutting-edge diagnostic technology to assess brain activity directly rather than relying on guesswork. Our specialized care focuses on four key conditions:

  1. Depression Management: Advanced non-drug neurostimulation and neuromodulation therapies designed to support mood regulation and brain plasticity.
  2. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Concussions: Comprehensive neuro-cognitive evaluations, disability impairment assessments, and rehabilitation strategies for head injuries and chronic pain.
  3. Autism Spectrum Support: Evidence-based diagnostic testing, therapy, and non-invasive neuro-technologies tailored to enhance daily cognitive functionality.
  4. Alzheimer’s & Cognitive Decline: Early diagnostic evaluations and brain-training interventions aimed at preserving executive function, memory, and cognitive vitality.

Our Simple 3-Step Care Process

  1. Request Your Initial Consultation:

No immediate phone call required. Fill out our simple online form below. Select your preferred contact window, and our care team will reach out directly to discuss your needs and schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Lyons.

  1. Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation:

During your initial visit at either our Santa Ana or Carlsbad clinic, we conduct advanced evaluations using non-invasive technologies—including TMS, TPS, QEEG, tDCS, and Sodorix—to map your brain activity.

  1. Personalized Care & Rehabilitation Plan:

Dr. Lyons pairs advanced neuromodulation technology with targeted psychotherapies (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Biofeedback, EMDR, and Mindfulness Meditation) to promote long-term mental resilience and recovery.

Payment & Insurance Options

We believe in complete financial transparency so you can focus entirely on your health and recovery.

  • Workers’ Compensation: We work extensively with injured workers and accept California Workers’ Compensation insurance directly.
  • Self-Pay / Cash Pay: We accept self-paying patients for all diagnostic testing, neurostimulation therapies, and psychotherapy sessions.
  • Private Insurance Notice: We do not currently process private insurance plans (such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield) directly. We provide itemized receipts (superbills) upon request for self-submission to your provider.

Flexible Patient Financing

To make advanced neuromodulation and brain-training care accessible, we offer flexible payment plans through trusted medical financing partners:

  • Cherry Finance: Fast, flexible monthly payment plans with quick online approvals.
  • CareCredit: Healthcare credit card options for medical and cognitive therapy plans.
