Carolyn Cohen, M.A., received her first Masters degree in Counseling from East Tennessee State University in 1976 and her second Masters degree in Medical Science from Emory University in 1983.
During her second Masters degree, Carolyn discovered that she had a learning disability affecting her visual/perceptual processing. In 1996 Carolyn was introduced to neurofeedback. After Carolyn’s first treatment with neurofeedback, she felt as if the right and left hemispheres of her brain began to properly communicate with each other. Her brain started to function in an integrated fashion. She now has a brain that feels connected, integrated and stable.
Despite Carolyn’s challenges she has gone on to author 3 books. She notes that every now and then she still likes to receive a “tune up” with neurofeedback to help keep her brain operating at its best.
Carolyn is currently the administrative manager at the Center for Brain Training and with her husband, Michael Cohen, she helps with client education. For the past twenty years Carolyn has also specialized in a holistic approach to mind-body integration. Carolyn and Margo Brann offer classes at the center. Classes focus on a variety of topics designed to help clients optimize brain function and improve overall well-being.
Renee Chillcott, L.M.H.C – Neurofeedback Therapist for the Boca Raton Office
Renee Chillcott recently joined the Center for Brain Training. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has been practicing Neurofeedback for the past six years.
Renee has worked in private practice and also in conjunction with a Learning Center. She has experience with children of all ages, as well as adults and families. Renee obtained her Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University in counseling and has been practicing since 2001. She has also received continuing education in the diagnosis and counseling of attachment disorders, teaching positive parenting skills, and peak performance neurofeedback.
Renee decided to enter the field of Neurofeedback after working in agencies where very little information was made available to people about alternatives to medication. Through the use of Neurofeedback Renee saw more significant and permanent changes in not only her clients, but also her own family. This inspired her to be a Neurofeedback therapist.
Margo Brann – Neurfoeedback Technician
Margo earned her B.S. in Nutrition from Bastyr University in Seattle in 1998. For the next seven years she worked as a Nutritional Consultant. In 2007 she moved to Florida where she discovered the Center for Brain Training. Margo underwent specialized training and apprenticeship, and now serves as a Neurofeedback Technician, as well as a Nutrition Educator for the Center for Brain Training.
In addition to her nutrition background, Margo is also a trained Herbalist with a background in detoxification practices. As clients progress through their neurofeedback training and are able to reduce or eliminate the need for medication, Margo helps to educate them in ways that support this process. Margo has been on staff at CBT since November of 2007 and is described as someone who brings a “calm presence and a sense of humor to her work”.
