“Help from Heart Matters in the form of neurofeedback came to us when our family needed it most. Our daughter was struggling with anxiety and obsessive thoughts. She had been to several months of counseling with limited success, and my husband and I were hesitant to try anxiety medication for her. Then someone shared with us the potential benefits of neurofeedback. Getting her help without the possible negative side effects of drugs appealed to our whole family.

The neurofeedback technicians implementing our daughter’s training were, without fail, kind and understanding as they helped my daughter’s brain learn to regulate itself. She routinely left their office in an increasingly calmer state and looked forward to her next session, and every session brought increasing calm to our household.

This treatment proved to be just what our daughter needed. She went from crying every night to singing around the house most days. Neurofeedback gave my daughter the ability to put to use the skills she had learned in counseling sessions because unregulated communication in her brain was no longer ‘standing in her way.’ She is driving, working, excelling in her studies, and enjoying time with friends. Our daughter is happier and healthier than ever. Even though she is still prone to the parts of her personality that tend toward stress, she is able to function and thrive at school and work, and in friendships and life. We have brain training to thank for that. We look forward to sending her off to college with the knowledge that she has the ability to cope with what life brings her. Heart Matters not only restored function to our daughter’s life, but joy to our family as well!

My husband and I would go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat if any of our other family members showed signs of needing neurofeedback. We are grateful to all of the technicians at Heart Matters for the role they played in the full life our daughter is now living”.
