Rooney Brian, PHD

Dr. Rooney’s office is pretty nice. His waiting room is comfy with ample magazines. The actual room itself where my appointments were had a nice couch and really zen décor. Probably bc he’s dealing with all kinds of cray cray on a daily basis. The real reason I give Dr. Rooney five stars is because of the wonders that occurred while under his care. Although I only saw Dr. Rooney a handful of times, the treatment we did worked wonders. I suffered a head trauma resulting from some major wrong place, wrong time sh*t going down while I was out one night and it rendered me with severe social anxiety.
When Dr. Rooney first suggested that I had PTSD, I thought HE was crazy. I figured the disorder was reserved for people that had suffered immensely such as abuse victims or soldiers. He explained that trauma affects everyone differently, and that I shouldn’t downplay the way in which my trauma was affecting me. I agreed to do some treatment where you talk about the trauma, Dr. Rooney leads you through it, and at the same time you hold onto some type of vibrating device that does something weird to trick your brain. I thought this way total psycho babble BS despite the fact that I’ve taken several college courses on the subject of psychology but I figured it was worth a shot. I’m so glad I was open to the process because it really did help a lot. Over a few visits, I felt more calm physically when processing the situation. I’d definitely recommend seeing Dr. Rooney to anyone that’s had a traumatic occurrence that continues to affect you in some way.
