About Elevate Brain Training

A native Fresnan, Elevate Brain Training owner Linda Guzman-Ellenberger worked in a family hardware business from age 5 until a career in education took me on a 25-year adventure as an educator from 1989-2013.

Brain Injury Changes Everything

In 2008, a cycling accident left me with a broken neck, broken jaw and teeth, broken nose, and debilitating brain injury--followed by multiple surgeries with anesthesia and high chronic stress adding insult to injury. Navigating life was next-to-impossible for this previously athletic, healthy 40-something; hence, I walked away from my teaching career in 2013 after struggling with chronic brain injury for 5 years. No intervention helped me recover my pre-injury brain functioning.... until I found BrainPaint® neurofeedback that saved my brain, saved my life. In only 25 one-hour sessions.

Because BrainPaint®  neurofeedback freed me of the prison of a dysregulated brain, I have purpose and passion to help others be free of a brain that keeps them from thriving. In fact, research shows that those with healthier brains are happier, healthier, and wealthier (Daniel Amen, MD). 

In 2014, I took a leap of faith, and Elevate Brain Training was born to help others be the best versions of themselves. This boutique practice -- using cutting-edge neurofeedback and proven Amen Clinics methods -- is a labor of love to help others who strongly desire to live a thriving life, have high standards for themselves but find they're hindered, and have the determination to overcome  hindrances and embrace life to the fullest.

As an authorized, certified BrainPaint neurofeedback practitioner and Amen Clinics-certified Brain Health Professional (BHPC), I have  personally conducted over 8,000 hours of client sessions, serving hundreds of clients through the intake assessment and all sessions up till graduation.

I have completed over 1,100 hours of graduate-level continued education in neurofeedback, brain health, & marriage/family therapy.

Unique Methodology

I have created a unique, systematic methodology to empower you to most accurately report your symptoms and improvement.  Subsequently, this methodology gives me optimal feedback on how your brain is responding to neurofeedback. Ultimately, this reporting system results in the fastest symptom resolution possible while still maintaining the highest level of service quality possible. 

Most appointments incorporate Amen Clinics methods, including diet and lifestyle counseling, to help each client best support their unique brain health needs.  

I am an overcomer, and I compassionately walk each of my clients through their own overcomer journey.  

Efficiency is My Priority

I understand the search and the waiting for wellness, so my goal is to listen carefully to you, determine your priorities, and provide you with the most efficient, effective, uniquely personalized training regimen. Nearly 12 years of experience as a neurofeedback practitioner 

has empowered me to keep your sessions to a bare minimum while setting you up to experience maximum benefits. 

Research indicates average number of sessions needed is 20-30 at 2x minimum/week. Elevate's sessions run approximately 45-65 minutes each.  

Consistent repetition is key: The brain needs repetition to get into better shape, just like the body needs repetition to get into better shape.

Once clients reach their brain training goals, the brain permanently maintains gains in most cases.
