RACHEL BECK NEUROTECHNICIAN NEUROTHERAPY About RACHEL
Welcome to my corner of the Aspen Neuro team! I'm Rachel Beck, and I bring a blend of academic expertise and genuine fascination to the realm of brain science. My curiosity about the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt, heal, and transform was ignited at Brown University, where I studied biology. As part of the team at Aspen Neurotherapy, I explore innovative, non-pharmaceutical interventions that empower individuals to harness their brain's innate potential. I'm fascinated by the biological underpinnings of brain function and excited to explore new avenues for enhancing mental well-being and performance. As a former pro mountain biker and guide, when I'm not immersed in the world of neurofeedback, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors with my family. |
Dr. LINDA WALKER, PH.D., LPC, BCN, BCB qEEG Diplomate MENTOR BRAIN MAPPING (QEEG) INTERPRETATION About Dr. Linda Walker
Dr. Walker is considered an international expert in neurotherapy. She has more than 20 years experience evaluating QEEGs and providing neurofeedback. Dr. Walker really swayed Dr. Jones to begin a full practice of neurofeedback after sharing about many cases of significant improvements in olympic athletes, curing seizures, treating ADHD symptoms without drugs, and more incredible stories of the power of the brain. She advises Dr. Jones in QEEG interpretation and complex cases. Her story: "From the time I emerged from college (the first time), prepared for a career in journalism, I felt driven to find ways to be part of the solution to the challenges I saw in the world. Not quite satisfied with what I contributed as a writer, I pursued a master’s degree in human relations and counseling through University of Oklahoma and began my career as a helping professional in the mid 1990s. I later added post graduate certificates in addiction studies and school counseling, and a doctorate in psychology with an emphasis in psychophysiology from Saybrook University. In my early work, I helped adults who had developmental disabilities find ways to live independently and experience life to their fullest. Since then, I’ve had the privilege to work with people from diverse backgrounds and circumstances seeking to find their balance, wellbeing and optimal function. Along the journey, I’ve spent time working in community mental health, juvenile justice, private practice and corporate health. I added neurofeedback and biofeedback to my practice in my work within a residential treatment facility for juvenile delinquents in 2000. Assessment using qEEG came a short time thereafter. As a counselor, I was seeing young adults who had one last chance at remediation. They had trauma, mental health and behavioral conditions, learning disorders, substance use problems, post concussive incidents and toxic chemical exposures — and usually all rolled up into a single young person! They had tried practically every medication and therapy in the book. I began to question what more I could offer these young men and women to help them toward a better future. That answer came in the form of neurofeedback and biofeedback. With a structured curriculum integrated into the residential treatment program, the number of restraint interventions decreased, medication need decreased and kids began reporting they made honor role in school — the first time for most of them. The program was documenting these changes and tracking data. Sadly the economic downturn spelled an end to the program in 2010. Having witnessed the power of psychophysiological therapies to effect change in those I helped, I moved forward professionally within my own private practice. The past decade has indeed been busy! I continued seeing children with challenges. In addition, I began to see adults and children with chronic disorders, such as pain and epilepsy. With an institute for performing arts nearby, I also began to expand my knowledge in working with optimal performers. I have been privileged to direct assessment for a neurotherapy group that had clinics throughout Michigan, develop and teach biofeedback for Western Michigan University, and work with Bio-Medical, Thought Technology, and Biofeedback Federation to teach courses, mentor and develop software. I’ve had the opportunity to advise best practice in the field of psychophysiology and to participate in research efforts. These accomplishments have been very gratifying and it’s a privilege to make a contribution to the advancement of helping therapies. That said, my heart still lives in the opportunity to work with others, to meet them where they are in their journey and to use the tools and skills I have to help them along their way. That goes for those whom I mentor and teach, as well as those who come to me as clients."

A Letter from Dr. Jones
The brain has always fascinated me. When I used to have seizures I remember coming back from in-between consciousness. I couldn't remember where I was or sometimes even who I was but I became intrigued with what lies beneath the surface. I was put on psychotropic medication which was very difficult. As a teen I began to learn how to control my seizures without drugs. I also began to observe that brains are born very differently. My brother had ADHD and learning disabilities and while I was able to breeze through school, he struggled to read. As a witness to his suffering I became impassioned at a young age to do my part to make the world more just.
I found psychology and neuroscience and have felt at home since. I'm continually in awe of the power of the brain to heal itself without medication. There are so many benefits of growing the brain naturally instead of adding chemicals to it, especially for those under age 25. My more than 20 years working in hospitals, in the community and in private practice has given me a depth of experience and healing that I'm grateful to be able to share with you.
I have devoted my life to learning all I can about evidence-based, holistic approaches for brain-based conditions. My practice is the culmination of those efforts, bringing together the tools and interventions I believe are most integral to support long term healing. I invite you to learn more about this brain-based approach and the possibilities it can offer.
Warmly,
Dr. Jones
