Before I began Neurofeedback, I suffered for years from often debilitating symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Since beginning Neurofeedback training the worst of my symptoms have disappeared! I have been able to cease taking psychotropic medication. And am now in a stable place, where I never pictured myself arriving at, thanks to an effective combination of Neurofeedback and maintenance psychotherapy. Neurofeedback has helped me to the extent I decided to bring my children for sessions to support their mental health needs and they have also benefited from this treatment. I am grateful to Sarah and very happy I gave this a chance because I feel like my mental health issues no longer impede my ability to flourish and thrive.
Neurofeedback has been a game changer for my migraines and sleep. In the past I would get a migraine several times a month to the point of vomiting from the pain. Almost immediately I noticed that my migraines lessened in intensity and duration. After some time in treatment I barely ever get a headache anymore. My sleep has never been so deep and rejuvenating. I am so grateful I found this life changing treatment and I stuck with it. I can't think of a better investment that I have made in my health.
I started seeing Sarah for PTSD and moodiness. After a few weeks my moods were becoming more stable like my fuse was longer, and I was not becoming irritated so easily by work and my kids. My flashbacks of my traumatic experience have become almost completely eliminated. My moods have been greatly improved since I started neurofeedfeedback. I no longer dread work or triggering situations. Plus my wife says I am calmer and more patient. Thank you Sarah for the work that you do!
MAKE THE INVESTMENT! I am not one to favor medication, but my son was 8 years old and fully out of control. He was diagnosed with Autism and was highly destructive and aggressive to the point he was removed from public school and sent to placement. He had no impulse control or control over his body in space, making learning impossible and I was running on years of little to no sleep. I was tired and ready to cave to med trials when Neurofeedback was encouraged by someone in his school circle. I thought "well I will try it for a little while and see if it helps then stop when it does.” He began with 2x a week due to the severity of his situation. It took time, but over this time, I saw and celebrated all the small changes. It began with a reduction in his aggression first and foremost. Then over time, the destruction reduced and finally stopped. He was able to reduce to 1 session a week and around then began to learn to read and write and communicate his feelings verbally more. He is now 14, yes, 14 and he goes to feedback 2x a month to maintain his connections. My younger son began struggling with his ASD and severe hypervigilant anxiety during his 4th grade year. I immediately talked to Sarah about getting him started. He was being accommodated immensely by his amazing 4th-grade teacher and fell to pieces in 5th grade. He was disrupting the class and getting into fights on the playground due to his inability to take perspective. He would often say he wanted to die. He began with sessions 1x a week and just like my older son, he too began to make phenomenal changes. He is about to enter 7th grade and I am proud to say that he had limited struggles in his 6th grade year. Sarah at East Coast Neurofeedback has been a lifesaver for my boys. When the original location was closed, she was able to open this new location and keep my kids scheduled, allowing them to continue with this much-needed service. I am so very grateful for this therapy because my boys are functioning well and growing in many ways. My oldest son flew an airplane last month; something I NEVER imagined him being able to do. My youngest has friends and is in a basketball camp this week where I was able to drop him off with typical peers and not get a call 10 minutes in to get him. This has been the very best gift I could give to my boys; the give of growth and functioning without medication. Due to this therapy, they are thriving and learning and will be okay.
I have been coming to neurofeedback for quite some time for my depression. I am a strong believer in the service provided. Without fail I am at peace and have a deeper sense of calm and alleviated depression. I highly recommend this in this day and age.
