Biofeedback for Self-Regulation
Expert Biofeedback Therapy in Boston for Stress, Anxiety, and Mind-Body Health
Biofeedback is one of our core specialties at the Boston Center for Health Psychology and Biofeedback — led by Dr. Inna Khazan, a Harvard Medical School faculty member and internationally recognized authority in this field. Our approach combines advanced biofeedback techniques with mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help you gain insight into your body’s responses and learn to regulate them effectively. This therapy is especially powerful for challenges like stress, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, high blood pressure, and other mind-body conditions.
​
We are proud to be among the few practices in Boston offering this level of expertise in biofeedback, both in-person and via teletherapy. Our clients often share that this work has helped them feel calmer, more focused, and more in control—often after years of struggling with symptoms. 📞Call us at 617-231-0011 or fill out our contact form below to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.​
What is Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a non-invasive, scientifically-supported method that helps you understand and regulate your body’s response to stress. Using advanced instruments, we monitor functions like heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing, muscle tension, finger temperature, and skin conductance to give you real-time insight into how your nervous system responds. With this feedback, you learn to shift those responses intentionally — helping you reduce anxiety, manage pain, and improve physical and emotional well-being.​
What to Expect in Biofeedback Therapy
We begin with a comprehensive biofeedback assessment which tells us how your body functions at rest, how it responds to stress, and how it recovers. This helps us design a personalized treatment plan — whether you're managing anxiety, chronic pain, headaches, or sleep difficulties.
Biofeedback instruments
During sessions, we use real-time feedback from your body—like heart rate, breathing, or muscle tension—displayed on a screen to increase your awareness of subtle physiological changes. With your therapist's guidance, you learn how to respond to these signals in ways that promote calm, focus, and resilience.
Muscle tension in the shoulders while working at the computer
For example, if you experience tension headaches, biofeedback may help you notice early muscle tension before pain sets in—like raised shoulders during computer work—and teach you how to relax those muscles and improve posture to prevent discomfort.
How Biofeedback Supports Peak Performance
While biofeedback is highly effective for addressing emotional and physical health concerns, it’s also a powerful tool for enhancing performance. We work with professionals—including attorneys, executives, medical professionals, performing artists, and athletes—who want to improve their ability to stay focused and composed under pressure. Biofeedback training can help increase emotional control, decision-making speed, and resilience in high-stakes environments.
​
For example, if you struggle with performance anxiety—whether in presentations, interviews, or high-pressure work situations—you might discover patterns like shallow breathing or elevated heart rate. Biofeedback helps you identify these early cues and train your body to stay steady, focused, and in control under pressure.
​
Whether your goal is to feel better or perform better, biofeedback can help you do both.
Building Skills You’ll Use for Life
The ultimate goal of biofeedback training is for you to internalize these skills — so you can apply them anytime, anywhere, without relying on the equipment. With continued home practice, biofeedback remains effective long after you stop the treatment. Many people retain their skills for life and require only occasional refresher sessions.
Expertise You Can Trust
At the Boston Center for Health Psychology and Biofeedback, biofeedback isn’t just something we offer — it’s a core specialty deeply woven into the foundation of our practice. Dr. Inna Khazan, founder of BCHPB, is a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, an internationally recognized expert in biofeedback, and the author of The Clinical Handbook of Biofeedback, a book widely considered the gold standard in the field. She has trained and mentored clinicians around the world, and her mindfulness-based biofeedback protocols are taught and used globally.
​
Every therapist at BCHPB is personally trained and directly supervised by Dr. Khazan in her specialized methods, ensuring that clients receive care grounded in the most advanced, research-based approaches available.
​
We also use state-of-the-art professional biofeedback equipment from leading manufacturers—technology that includes advanced features developed in consultation with Dr. Khazan herself. Some systems even explicitly implement the Khazan Mindfulness Suite, a specialized protocol designed to deepen the therapeutic benefits of biofeedback by integrating mindfulness and self-regulation training.
​
This unique combination of scientific leadership, clinical expertise, and cutting-edge tools makes BCHPB one of the most trusted providers of biofeedback therapy in Boston and beyond.
​
If you're looking for a science-backed way to improve health, build resilience, or enhance performance — biofeedback may be the right next step.
