Chiron's Crucible
When in search of truth
we must be honest
BRAD GORFEIN
ABOUT BRAD
I'm Brad Gorfein, a non-traditional practitioner with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I take an integrated modalities approach, drawing inspiration from my own journey and the Wounded Healer and teacher of Greek mythology, Chiron the centaur.
In our work together, I offer holistic, person-centered services that consider the mind, body, and soul. You are the protagonist and author of your own story, and my role is to empower you to pick up the pen in your own life. Through a personalized blend of trancework, ritual, coaching, and intentionally altering states of consciousness, we can tap into the unconscious and deep parts of you to unleash profound and far-reaching changes.
In addition, or separately, I also offer Neurofeedback, a non-invasive technique that utilizes real-time monitoring and modulation of brainwave activity to train and optimize functioning. By harnessing the power of brainwave training, I can help clients enhance focus, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and enhance performance professionally, academically, athletically, creatively, and personally.

SPECIALTIES
NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that involves placing electrodes along the scalp (in accordance with the international 10-20 system) that provides real-time EEG-based monitoring and modulation of brainwave activity to train and optimize functioning.
During a session, you might feel relaxed, almost like slipping into a cozy daydream. Some people report subtle shifts in their mood or clarity of thought in real time. Progress takes place over time, as your brain becomes more flexible and is more easily able to fluctuate between brainwaive patterns at the appropriate time.
Through personalized sessions, I can help clients enhance focus, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and enhance performance professionally, academically, athletically, creatively, and personally.
MENTORSHIP & COACHING
My approach is dynamic and immersive, extending beyond the confines of the office and into the realms of imagination and nature.
During our work I can take the lead and craft a structured path of growth that demands dedicated effort and self-reflection. I could also step back to allow you to chart your course while offering steadfast support, perspective, and guidance. Whatever you choose, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Some examples of what we might do together are recreating personal narratives through journaling and writing prompts or outdoors wilderness-based activities. The techniques used are always based on the wants, needs, desires, and interests of client.
HYPNOSIS & TRANCEWORK
Hypnosis and trancework offer a unique path to personal transformation and healing. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, a.k.a. trance, hypnosis taps into the power of your subconscious mind. In this heightened state of awareness, you become more open to suggestion and positive change.
Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, phobias, or seeking to overcome limiting habits and self-sabotage hypnosis can be remarkably effective, because it gets you out of your own way.
