California
Searching "neurofeedback california" surfaces clinics from across the whole state. This page is not a ranking of who is best, it is a directory ordered the way the site explains below. Neurofeedback therapy in California concentrates in a handful of large metro areas: the Los Angeles basin, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and the Sacramento region carry most of the supply. Coverage thins outside those metros. The Central Valley, the far northern counties, the Sierra foothills, and much of the Inland Empire away from its urban core have comparatively few providers, and patients there often weigh a longer drive against training close to home.
California does not issue a license specific to neurofeedback. Practitioners typically hold an existing license, often as a psychologist, a marriage and family therapist, a clinical social worker, a registered nurse, or a physician, and they or a licensed supervisor are responsible for the clinical oversight of a session. Scope of practice varies by license type, so who may run the equipment and who must design or review the training protocol can differ between offices even within the same city.
To verify a provider in California, check the Medical Board of California for physicians, the Board of Registered Nursing for nurses, the Board of Psychology for psychologists, and the Board of Behavioral Sciences for marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers. A clean record confirms an active license and discloses formal discipline; it does not show how skilled a clinician is at neurofeedback specifically, since that is not a separately licensed skill.
Before booking anywhere in the state, ask who holds the license, who is in the room during sessions, what equipment is used, and how risks and limitations are disclosed in writing. Ask what happens if you see no change after a reasonable trial, and request an itemized quote, since intake, brain mapping, and training sessions are often billed separately.
How this list is ordered also matters. Listing order on Regenerated.com is not paid ranking, Featured placements are labeled and limited, and a Verified badge reflects a completed credential check rather than a payment. Regenerated.com is free for patients to browse and use, and a listing here is not an endorsement.

Regulatory context
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is regulated as a Class II prescription device. The first 510(k) clearance went to NeuroStar in 2008 for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. Subsequent clearances expanded the on-label scope to obsessive-compulsive disorder (BrainsWay deep TMS, 2018), smoking cessation (BrainsWay, 2020), anxious depression as an adjunct indication (2021), and migraine via single-pulse TMS devices such as eNeura SpringTMS and SAVI Dual. Biofeedback instruments are cleared under 21 CFR 882.1425 as Class II devices for relaxation training and stress reduction. EEG-based neurofeedback systems hold 510(k) clearances in the same category. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation, tDCS wellness devices, and many vagus nerve stimulation accessories sold direct to consumers are not cleared as medical devices, and clinical claims beyond cleared indications are off-label.
The Medical Board of California investigates TMS clinics for off-label marketing, corporate practice of medicine violations, and improper supervision of technicians. California has a strong corporate practice of medicine doctrine, meaning non-physician-owned entities cannot employ physicians or control clinical decisions at TMS or neurofeedback clinics. The attorney general and district attorneys have pursued actions against neurofeedback providers advertising unproven cures for autism, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury. California insurers require documented failed antidepressant trials before covering TMS for major depression.
