Decode how your body works and why you don’t feel well, then learn how you can be
‍in control of your health again.

If medications and surgeries haven’t helped, have you considered that that problem isn’t just in the muscles, bones or organs, but also because the brain isn’t communicating well with the body? If your brain and body are disconnected they will keep fighting. MindDoor’s programs teach your brain and body to stop fighting and start connecting.

Address both mental and physical burnout at the same time

While burnout is a mental health issue, seeing a counselor/psychologist cannot fix it alone. Burnout includes physical symptoms of chronic pain, fatigue, digestion issues, fibromyalgia, gut health issues, autoimmune conditions, anxiety, and basically feeling sick all the time.

Learn how to reconnect your brain and body signals

You’ll learn how to calm your body signals using cranial nerve reprogramming and calm down overactive muscles, joints, and nerves with myofascial release and lymph massage you can do yourself.

Get out of constant fight/flight mode

Using a mix of neuroscience, meditation, and visualization you will essentially retrain your brain to create new feedback loops in your brain reducing pain and getting out of fight/flight mode.

Neurofeedback uses a computer program to show you what your brain signals are doing in real-time. By wearing a special device on your head that measures that detects the brain waves in each area of the brain, you can create a picture of what needs training. This picture you see is the mirror to what your brain is doing during certain tasks. This can help you know if you’re really working on the correct part of your brain.

MindDoor offers at home Nuerofeedback Training Sessions, which are shorter training sessions that can be done daily in the comfort of your own home.

Save over $1500 compared to in-office.
You keep the device and use it for meditation later.

Helping the Body Reconnect
with the Brain

We can help the brain stop the fight/flight/freeze response and feel safe again using a Neuroscience based program developed by Dr. Irene Luc that focuses on cranial nerve regulation. If you have not been feeling well, you can’t just tell your body to relax and it will listen. You have to create a safe space for the brain to return to its normal signaling. This innovative program uses nerves that connect the brain to the body, specifically the vagus nerve to help identify problem areas and find solutions. This is blended with acupressure points, myofascial release and lymph massage that can help the body reduce the number of signals that the brain has to process which helps the body also feel safe.

Improve Sleep

If your sleep is interrupted by pain or other symptoms, stress or in a bad routine, then your body starts the day with less energy to heal. Brain training can help reset your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that tells you when you sleep or awake, and teach you how to turn on the sleep centers of your brain quicker.

Reduce Anxiety and Depression

When you are anxious, the most primitive parts of brain signal danger and that effects the whole body. It makes our thinking brain, or frontal lobe, not be able to work as well. Some people think that relaxing is the only way to release anxiety, but the frontal lobe prefers to focus and problem-solve. This involves being aware of your surroundings and how your body is feeling at that moment. Brain training helps you to refocus the brain on new tasks instead of letting your thoughts get stuck in a way that makes you anxious.

Improve Focus and Attention

If you are stuck in a cycle of chronic conditions your brain energy goes to solving a lot of issues with your body and has less energy to remember events, things or ideas. It can feel like your brain is hazy, and it may take effort to put your thoughts together. It’s also common that medications also have a side effect of “brain fog.” The memory centers in the brain become out of practice. If these neurons stay inactive for too long, we start to lose them. Therefore, brain training uses practice words, numbers, and concepts to help sharpen memory again.

Help for Trauma

Brain training for trauma helps you get in touch with your five senses and what your body feels so you can remain in the present. It can be a good bridge for people who are not ready to talk about the past but can tell there are triggers in their bodies that make them angry, sad, or in pain. Counseling and brain training are combined together to help stop triggers.

Treat chronic pain using brain training.

There are many reasons why your pain might persists and there are some long (and scary sounding) names that your doctor might have used:‍

Fibromyalgia
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Neuropathy
Autoimmune Conditions: Lupus, Chron’s or Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Autonomic Dysregulation: irregular heart rate, blood pressure, fainting, sweating, temperature changes

Dr. Irene Luc created a program that uses brain training to help chronic pain. This is customized to your needs and helps put your body back under the control of the brain.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t live in Washington, so can I still get help from Mind Door, LLC?‍

YES! Sometimes, you cannot find someone who does brain training or sexual health counseling in your area and we are here to help. Or you may see so many doctors that you need help managing all the information or helping make the best choices for what you can do next for your pain or sexual health. Dr. Luc provides wellness consults for brain training, pain and sexual health and can work alongside your doctors to give you a boost to your healthcare team. Instead of just seeing your specialist once every few months, having Dr. Luc coach you weekly on a video conference can help you stay on track to feeling better. She is licensed in Washington, Missouri and Illinois if you need further medical care.

Do you take insurance?

Mind Door, LLC is an out-of-network provider for most private insurance. You will pay up front for the services and we will tell your insurance company that you paid so it can count towards your deductible. The deductible is the amount you have to pay before the insurance will cover future medical care and how much you pay out of pocket is different for each plan. Once you meet your deductible, some insurances will pay a percentage of the bills while others will pay the whole thing. Check your out-of-network benefits before your first visit. If you have out of network benefits, we can bill insurance for you so please ask if we work with your insurance

Do you take Medicare or state insurance?

Medicare
Mind Door, LLC accepts Medicare insurance for physical therapy services. You will still need to meet your Medicare deductible and pay the 20% coinsurance at the time of visit.

State insurance
We do not have any contracts with Molina, Medicaid or other state insurances at this time. We do offer scholarships for those who have financial need. Ask us for detail.

How do I check if I have out-of-network benefits with my insurance?‍

Give them a call! Check the number on the back of your card, and hang in there until you can talk to a person. You can ask them:
-what date is my policy good until?
-what is my deductible for out of network benefits (what you pay out of pocket)?
-do I have any money going towards my out-of-network deductible yet for this year?
-do I need to get a medical doctor’s order to use out-of-network benefits?
-Is there a limit to the number of physical therapy visits I have under my out-of-network benefits.

I don’t have any out-of-network benefits, now what?

You will have to ask yourself if you are going to let the insurance tell you who can and can’t see for your healthcare. We absolutely understand financial situations so please ask us questions so we can help you decide what is best for you! Scroll down and read more about Pricing.

Do I need my medical doctor to write a prescription?

Dr. Irene Luc is licensed health care provider in Washington which allow you to have direct access to my program without a a medical doctor’s referral. However Medicare and other insurance companies will need a medical doctor’s referral if you want to use insurance for billing.

I’m ready to get started, what do I do now?

– Give Dr. Irene a text or an e-mail to schedule a 15 min free consult
– After the consult, if you’re ready to start care, we will be sending you forms that you can fill out on your computer or phone.

What to expect for a video conference session‍

- Dr. Irene will e-mail and text you a private meeting link using Zoom. You don’t have to download the program to use Zoom, the link will be enough.

- At your appointment time, you can either use your phone or computer for the session. Tip: find something to prop the phone on so your hands are free

- Click on the link and the meeting will start. Occasionally, it will say the host has not started the meeting but you don’t have to do anything– just wait and Dr. Irene will come on screen soon.

– Easy peasy! Now you are ready to have total privacy for your session in the comfort of your home!

‍Rate: $125-150 for a 60 minute session or $1150 for a package of 10 visits
‍We offer billing for those who want to use their out-of-network benefits. No problem! You will have to pay that rate until you have reached your deductible at the regular rate.

‍Example: You pay out of pocket per visit until you reach your out of network deductible (this amount varies per plan between $200- $5000). Once your deductible is met, insurance pays a percentage around 50-70% since Mind Door is an out-of-network provider, and you pay the remaining percentage. This typically work out to be between $20-60 per visit. There are no visits completely covered by insurance.

Insurance benefits offer a good deal as long as you meet your deductible and each plan is different. You will have to call your plan to see what benefits they include.
