Why use a certified practitioner?
The Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA) is the only institute recognized worldwide granting certification to biofeedback practitioners. BCIA was established in 1981 with the mission of protecting the general public by establishing strict standards for biofeedback practitioners. Currently, approximately 1,500 health care professionals have achieved this certification in general biofeedback, EEG biofeedback, or pelvic muscle dysfunction. Many clinicians have more than one certification.
Certification demonstrates professionalism and adherence to carefully developed standards as a health care provider. Procedures are consistent with the Department of Health & Human Services Guidelines, giving credibility and evidence that your practitioner maintains knowledge and skill levels.
Health care professionals who achieve BCIA Certification demonstrate commitment to professionalism by completing basic degree and educational requirements, learning to apply clinical biofeedback skills during mentorship, and passing a written examination. BCIA certified professionals must agree to practice according to the Ethical Principles of BCIA and of their profession and in accordance with appropriate laws of their state. When working with a medical or psychological disorder, a BCIA certificant must carry an appropriate license/credential for independent practice or agree to work under the supervision of another health care professional.
