Neurofeedback for Mental Health Issues

Mental health issues are a drag

It is no fun to feel sad, mad, in pain, scared, nervous, spacy, foggy or desperate. Any one of these is bad enough. Combinations of these symptoms are even worse.

Moodiness, nervousness, fear, inattention, insomnia, migraine, addictions, and many other issues are irritating. And they are unnecessary with EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback). The remedy is in the root. In the physiology of the brain.

Psychological issues are linked to imbalances in brain waves. Too many or too few brain waves in the slow, medium or fast frequencies are bad habits that can be changed. In neurofeedback, I read your brain waves (neuro) and you are guided with computerized sounds and images (feedback) toward a balanced state. You practice becoming more sane during every session. Learning expands and lasts.

After training, most of my clients tell me they feel emotionally calmer and more mentally focused. They are much less burdened by their mental health issues. They report that their problems are either gone, reduced or are more manageable. They are able to proceed in their lives, achieve goals and enjoy new capabilities.

Neurofeedback gives you a much better quality of life and effectively addresses the conditions outlined below. Just click on any condition for more details.

Depression

Depression lifts. The mornings are better, activity comes more naturally. Work is easier. Irritation, restlessness and anger subside with neurofeedback.

Sleep

Sleep quality tends to improve significantly. Whether your problem is getting to sleep or staying asleep you’ll have more energy and mental capacity throughout the day and evening. Do you remember enjoying peaceful nights?

Anger

Anger subsides. From yelling to road rage, anger is no fun. My clients get less emotional reactivity and are able to let it go. The same things just don’t bother them as much.

Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury

If you have noticed changes after a traumatic brain injury call me right away. Some physical, emotional, and cognitive issues clear up by themselves. What you want is a rapid and complete recovery with protection from future insults.

Migraines

Migraines reduce significantly or may cease. Clients see a marked reduction in the frequency, intensity and duration of headache pain. Just less bothersome.

Addictions

Addictions to substances and destructive behaviors can finally be controlled. It is possible to build the capacity to free yourself and feel that you are enough, as is. When you’re able to self-soothe, you don’t need the other stuff. Call me at 610.668-3223.

Will Neurofeedback work for you?

I’m Gary Ames, a licensed psychologist with consistent and significant success for each of the conditions listed above.  80-95% of my clients average a 50% reduction in symptoms within 3 months. These results last.

Typically, my clients report feeling more calm and focused. Most say their sleep, mood and cognition have improved noticeably. I’m most proud that many of my clients are able to reduce or eliminate their psychiatric medications.

After learning and teaching biofeedback in university, I returned to neurofeedback in 2003 with intensity. I quickly absorbed the basics and nuances of advanced techniques. I have used a variety of neurotherapy systems and am delighted with the advanced tools I use now.

First, read about a condition that is dragging down your life. Then, when you are ready, either: make an appointment, send me a note, or call me at 610.668-3223.

I see clients from Montgomery, Delaware, Philadelphia, Chester, and Bucks counties and South Jersey.
