Homewood Office
Alice Haygood Churnock is the founder of BrainCore of Birmingham and has spent more than 20 years helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, attention and focus issues, emotional regulation, eating disorders, sports performance and other mental health concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and is Board Certified in Neurofeedback.
Alice continues to practice therapy while also offering neurofeedback, a non-invasive form of brain training that helps the brain learn healthier and more efficient patterns of functioning. While counseling and neurofeedback don't have to be used together, they can certainly complement each other. Counseling gives clients a place to understand their experiences, develop insight, and learn new skills, while neurofeedback can help support the brain’s ability to regulate attention, emotions, stress, and mood. For many clients, the two can work beautifully together.
Alice and her husband are raising two teenage sons, so when she isn't working you'll likely find her cheering in the baseball stands, carpooling to soccer practice or squeezing in a tennis match of her own.
