Raft River Valley, Idaho – 16 July, 2025: Paradise Creek Recovery Center, a nationally recognized residential treatment facility located on a tranquil 16-acre campus in Idaho’s Raft River Valley, proudly announces the expansion of its neurofeedback services within its comprehensive sexual addiction recovery programs. Building upon its already robust evidence-based offerings—including EMDR, biofeedback, cognitive-neural restructuring, and the 30 Task Model developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes—this enhancement reinforces Paradise Creek’s commitment to rewiring the addicted brain and supporting lasting recovery for adult men.
Neurofeedback, a proven therapeutic modality already available at the center, trains clients to self-regulate brainwave activity by offering real-time feedback. This non-invasive method fosters improved impulse control, reduced anxiety, greater emotional stability, and enhanced focus—key qualities in breaking the cycle of compulsive sexual behavior. The expanded program offers additional sessions, upgraded neurofeedback technology, and deeper integration with individual and group psychotherapy, EMDR trauma work, and 12-step groups.

Clinical Director Dr. A. Todd Freestone, Psy.D., LCSW, CSAT, emphasizes the importance of neurofeedback in treating complex sexual addictions: “When we support the brain’s ability to self-correct dysregulated patterns, clients gain real neurological tools to interrupt cycles of shame, compulsivity, and relapse.” Dr. Freestone, who has led trauma-informed treatment at Paradise Creek since 1995, notes that neurofeedback particularly benefits individuals whose sexual behaviors are rooted in unresolved trauma and neurological dysregulation.

Director Dr. Matthew Hedelius, Psy.D., LCSW, CSAT-S, echoes this sentiment: “In over 20 years and more than 40,000 sessions, I’ve witnessed how integrating neurofeedback with EMDR and cognitive-neural restructuring produces powerful shifts at the cellular level.” As both a seasoned clinician and the facility’s director, Dr. Hedelius highlights the expansion as part of an immersive, immersive inpatient model that addresses brain, body, and trauma in concert.
Paradise Creek’s sexual addiction treatment protocol is grounded in neuroplasticity—the deliberate rewiring of neural pathways through therapeutic repetition, a supportive environment, and mind-body synergy. As part of their expanded neurofeedback services, the center now offers increased session frequency tailored to each client’s unique brainwave profile, ensuring a more personalized approach to healing. With the addition of higher-resolution EEG equipment, clients benefit from more precise feedback, enhancing the effectiveness of each session. These services are not offered in isolation—they’re deeply integrated with the 30 Task Model, EMDR trauma work, individual and group psychotherapy, and a range of structured experiential activities such as ropes courses, art therapy, and yoga, creating a truly immersive and multidimensional path to recovery.

Neurofeedback’s relevance is especially potent in pornography and online sexual compulsion treatment—areas where compulsive brain patterns are deeply entrenched. By reinforcing healthy brain rhythms, clients report fewer cravings, stronger emotional regulation, and greater presence in therapy and daily life.

“Our ultimate goal is to equip men not just with insight, but with living neurological tools to sustain recovery,” adds Dr. Hedelius. “This expanded neurofeedback offering is yet another layer in our mission to foster freedom from sexual compulsivity through scientific, trauma-informed, and compassionate care.”
