    Judy Lefevour
    

I’m a masters level LCPC, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.   I came to Brent personally with a family trauma and was so taken with HMR that I got the training and was certified about 5 years ago; I use it extensively in my private practice. I come from a pretty extensive hospital experiences, working with people with addictions and eating disorders and trauma. HMR has worked so beautifully in treatment and so I want to really expand that and get officially involved in research and education areas.  (Brent speaking) Judy is fabulous and some of her adaptations and innovations with HMR with people with eating disorders and so on have been extremely helpful for improving the quality of delivery of HMR.

    Dr. James Kowal


A trauma specialist. It’s a second career for me.  I’m formerly the head of systems engineering at Bell Laboratories. Retired from that. Started in counseling as a trauma specialist, specializing in abuse and dissociative disorders and then was the co-founder of the Center for Traumatic Stress in Naperville, IL. Once we got that up and running, I retired from Bell Laboratories, I went back to graduate school and got my Ph.D. in psychology, however, I discovered Neurotherapy and became a neurotherapist. Got my Ph.D. in 2004 and have been doing research by looking at Quantitative Electro-Encephalograms of the brain before and after treatment. We demonstrated the effectiveness of EMDR before and after: we saw the typical hallmark of trauma, initially treated the patient, and then the symptoms disappeared, and the person resumed their normal life. We did a follow-up EEG and the person had a perfectly normal brain. Since then I’ve been a part of several studies, the most recent involving fetal alcohol syndrome that I’m presenting at the International Society for Neural Feedback and Research at the end of September. That’s what we’re looking forward to doing with HMR. I have been trained in HMR and have used it in my trauma practice. And am excited about doing some quantitative measurements that demonstrate what we see happening in the clinic.

Lawrence Steinberg is a native of Chicago.  He graduated from Northwestern University Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Biomedical Medical Engineering and a minor in Economics.  He then studied medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago and completed his residency in Anesthesiology. Since becoming an attending anesthesiologist in 2010, Lawrence has cultivated an interest in how laboring women with trauma experience to pain during childbirth with and without an epidural.  He is also interested in how the autonomic nervous system, brainstem and limbic system contribute to pain perioperatively as well as in chronic pain patients and how alternative psychotherapies, like HMR, are able to modulate these parts of the brain and nervous system to bring relief from pain and other symptoms.
