ADD & ADHD
“As the mom of an anxious young adult, I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone with ADHD or anxiety to try neurofeedback. The staff is knowledgeable, kind and encouraging, and they literally changed my son’s life. He has reduced his ADHD medication as a result of neurofeedback, and more importantly to us, he’s reaching his full potential.”
“His psychiatrist was speechless and overwhelmed by his progress in such a short amount of time. He has treated our son for many years and after just 8 sessions of Neurofeedback he has decided to start weaning him off of two medications used to treat his anxiety.”
“I can’t say enough for your help and expertise. There are no words. The anxiety is completely gone and I am forever grateful. This has been a truly life-changing experience.”
“My goal before neurofeedback was simply to be able to get through the day without feeling panic, but I ended up being able to cut my ADHD medication in half. Now I feel like I can control my thoughts, and I don’t feel that frantic hyper energy that fueled the anxiety and made me feel so nervous and restless. Neurofeedback helped me regain control of my life.”
“I used to be obsessed about certain issues and I would repeat negative thoughts over and over. Now I’m less pessimistic and able to see the good in people and situations. I can now let go of OCD thoughts like whether or not I forgot to turn off the lights.
My memory and perceptions were overrun with negativity. Now I see more positively and objectively.
I was impulsive, wouldn’t study and couldn’t plan well. Now I can study well and follow through with things that require planning and organization.
I used to feel out of body and disconnected- more like I was watching myself, almost like I was in a dreamlike state. Now I feel more present and focused.
My attention is so much better. I used to daydream to the extreme. Now it’s completely controllable. I’m doing better on tests and I can articulate in writing better. I’m also able to verbalize things better and actually say what I’m thinking.”
Anxiety
“I was so stuck!!! Had many fault lines that I couldn’t get past. With neurofeedback I have been able to get past some things that were causing me unrelenting fear. I feel like I have opened a door to myself as I was BEFORE the pain!!! Thank you so much!!! I can’t say enough!!!!!”
“I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing week we have had. I have never seen our daughter so happy and relaxed in her entire life! I don’t know what flip was switched but it has been incredible. I know there are always ups and downs but we have never had an “up” like this since she was born! There were a few “triggers” that would have usually sent her in a tail spin but nothing happened. She was calm and got through it. I don’t want to get my hopes up too high yet but it’s hard not too. Great week!”
“Before, he had meltdowns all the time – screaming, crying, kicking- that could go on for hours. Now meltdowns are so minor. Before he had extreme anxiety and social awkwardness. He would retreat from family and friends into his own head or into another room. Now he wants to be social. He sits down amidst groups of people and listens and converses. He has genuine interest in being with people. Before he could not focus and would not listen. Now he can focus and follow through and we are progressing steadily with listening. It’s so much better. He can really be involved with our family now and does so well with the other children. I’m so happy with how well he’s doing.”
“I have been on medication since I was 17 years old and have attempted suicide to many times to count. Nothing seemed to help me so I went through life putting on a fake smile and going through the motion of life but not really living.
When I heard about neurofeedback I had pretty much made up my mind this was my last hope and if it didn’t work I was gonna make sure I ended my life! I’ve done two sets of treatments and have been free off all medication… for one year …depression meds anxiety meds sleep meds etc!
I feel the best I have since I was 17 years old and i’m fixing to be 43 years old next month. It’s worth every penny I paid to have a reason to want to wake up each morning and the fact my children and husband have me back! I would recommend treatments to anyone who suffers from depression, anxiety etc.”
“There’s been a huge improvement in Anxiety and Depression. She used to be sad almost daily and now sadness is rare. She was extremely inhibited before and didn’t want to participate in a lot of fun activities. Last summer we couldn’t even get her to tube and this year she was first in line. She didn’t want to talk to friends or family members on the phone, not even her dad when he was on the road. Now she wants to talk and is even calling friends on the phone. She used to shy away from talking to any of our friends she didn’t know and now she interacts and converses with ease. We’ve seen a dramatic improvement!”
Depression
“To say I was in bad shape when I first started coming to Anna would be an understatement. I was beyond desperation and in so much pain having lost all sense of who I was or any hope of recovery. After a couple of counseling sessions I started my treatments which was the easiest therapy I’ve ever had. As a result my life went from what I thought was ruined to healthy in less than 6 months. My family is amazed at the progress I’ve made.”
“This has made all the difference. I don’t think I could have made it. I was a mess all the time. Everyday I would fall apart. After 20 sessions I am no longer overwhelmed at all, I am totally better. I was even able to finish my dissertation early. This literally saved my life.”
“I’m shocked…I’ve had no severe episodes with suicidal moments after one round of intense sessions. None. I can’t believe it… I’m thankful beyond expression. I am so mentally capable I can’t believe it. “
“She was diagnosed with PTSD, OCD and Depression. We’ve been to two psychiatrists and she’s been on two different medications with no benefits. After Neurofeedback she’s off all medications and is completely different. People keep asking us what is different about her because she even looks happier and more present. Her focus is much better, she’s less impulsive she understands things much better. She is now getting A’s and B’s instead of D’s and F’s.”
“I was severely depressed. I had no motivation or energy to do anything. I was tired all the time and did not have much will for anything. I was melancholy, isolated, and lonely.
My relationship with my husband was deteriorating and full of tension, hurt, misunderstanding, and no communication. We were on the brink of divorce- It was either this or divorce.
Now I’m so much better. I cannot even bring myself into a depressed state- even when I revisit thoughts I used to have. It’s amazing. I no longer feel like something is slowly killing me. I just wanted to be gone. It’s like somebody plugged me back in. I have energy, motivation, and the will to live.
My husband says I’m motivated, confident, and assertive. And where communicating wasn’t even possible before, we are now well on our way to working out our issues.
I’m doing a million times better.”
PTSD
“I am calmer, clearer, my memory is better and I have much more emotional control. I had to separate from my wife because of my dissociative episodes of extreme anger. Now the episodes are seldom and resolve in a couple of hours instead of days. I was able to move back in with my family and we are doing so much better.”
“At home and at work I couldn’t remember anything unless I wrote it down and now I work mostly by memory. Now my wife can depend on me more and I’ve also been promoted at work. Everything is better.”
“We had so much fun last night—and we were just shopping. It was so normal, and yet so extraordinary. The little things—they can be HUGE.”
