Palo Alto Neurofeedback

I went to Palo Alto Neurofeedback for 16 sessions from Jan. 2016 to March 2016. Dr. Bell was very attentive and concerned about my status and progress. In general I found the staff to be friendly and pleasant to interact with. My training was tailored for focus and anxiety. The pricing is fair and after 15 training sessions I received a free QEEG (quantitative EEG). I found that the training was mentally tiring especially on days after the training. I recommend neurofeedback from Palo Alto to anyone looking to improve their brain function. The only quibble I have is that there were a few interruptions during the training that seemed avoidable /​preventable.

I went to Palo Alto Neurofeedback looking for a treatment that would help with chronic pain management. I’ve tried conventional as well as alternative medicine and physical therapy, and neurofeedback is by far the most effective for me. I’ve seen big improvements in levels of chronic pain and I sleep better, have more energy, am more relaxed, and have improved relationships with family and friends. Dr. Bell and her staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, and I felt confident that they have a high level of training and competency. They tailor the procedure to your particular needs and have a strong understanding of the science behind the healing process. I love that neurofeedback is non-​invasive and I don’t have to deal with side effects like I would with conventional medicine. I would highly recommend Palo Alto Neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback is an excellent adjunct therapy to regular psychotherapy and/​or medication. I was suffering from anxiety and depression and wasn’t finding much relief using conventional psychotherapy or medicine. After 21 sessions my anxiety is virtually gone and I am able to sleep better as well. I must admit I started to feel better after about 8 sessions. I did not stop taking any medication that I was already on, with Dr. Bell’s knowledge and approval. I have stopped doing neurofeedback now.
The staff, including Dr. Bell, were all very kind, smart and helpful. Getting reimbursed by your insurance can be tricky and Dr. Bell provides you with a packet entitled «Getting the Most Out of Your Insurance Company». I found this very helpful, but sadly I haven’t gotten any reimbursement from my insurance yet, and this isn’t cheap. That being said, the actual cost of each appointment isn’t much more than a high end psychiatrist, so it isn’t unreasonable and I feel you get quicker results for your issue (anxiety, depression, ADD, sleep disorders, etc).

Dr. Bell was knowledgeable enough with her BrainMaster BrainAvatar sLORETA neurofeedback to be able to train me and my colleagues in it. This was extremely helpful!
