While traditional in-office counseling and therapy sessions can be extremely effective, there are some instances in which additional support might help make the treatment progress faster and with more efficacy. Alpha-Stim therapy is one of those supplemental options that might be right for some patients to tackle their mental health care needs more quickly.

Essentially, Alpha-Stim is a wearable device calms and relaxes the body by sending tiny electric currents through ear clips, increasing the frequency of the soothing Alpha waves in the brain.
