Client Testimonials

Read what past clients have said about their experiences and the benefits of neurofeedback, brain mapping, and psychotherapy at LifeWise.

“When I started my treatment with Dr H, I was heartbroken, unemployed, and in a deep depression and unable to complete basic tasks. The results I experienced were not only dramatic, but immediate. After the first couple sessions I was able to socialize again, and take care of myself. Halfway through my treatment I was doing things that I had been telling myself to do for years. I now feel at the height of my powers for the first time in my life, and I absolutely know that doing these treatments was a big part of it. Dr H is so nice and easy to talk to. I always looked forward to my appointments and when the treatment was complete I felt ready. There is no better investment than the health of your brain. I know so many people who could benefit from this treatment, and I was so lucky to have had the opportunity.”

“Hi Dr H. Whatever you’re doing in sessions, keep doing it!! The last two days our daughter has been singing and smiling and engaging more than she has in… forever.. since she was a little girl BEFORE the stress of school sucked the life out of her.. (to put it bluntly). On the way home from the appointment, she/we sang in the car and talked and laughed.. it is SO NICE to be able to do that with her and feel that enjoyment again!!!! It feels like this heavy dark blanket is being lifted off of us.. and we can see the sun again and breathe the fresh air. It’s been SO LONG that she has been struggling, so I’m just trying to articulate how grateful I am for all that you are doing for her and therefore our family… 🙂 It feels amazing, and I am so hopeful now. THANK YOU!”

“After just one neurofeedback session my wife said I was a changed man. I was more pleasant, had more energy, and I slept great that night.”

“I would like to thank you for the amazing difference that this treatment has made in my life. I have found that I have gotten much better in regard to the obsessive thoughts, and I have reached the goals that I set.”

“I just want to tell you what a huge impact you have had on our family. After a lifetime of explosive anger and over-reaction and the rest of it, we have had a full five months of cheerful, gracious, positive behavior from our daughter, and seen her expand her life to take chances and start acting out of curiosity and interest instead of fear. Situations have come up in the past few months that ordinarily would have led to hysterical scenes; she has dealt with them with poise and equanimity. I came to you skeptical but desperate. I am no longer skeptical, and I feel real hope for the first time. I think she does too. Thank you so much!”

“I was having bad post-concussion symptoms ranging from difficulty sleeping to mental fatigue to a constant sense of brain fog. I went and saw a lot of different doctors and never got the therapy I needed. I found Dr. Helfand at LifeWise and I was initially very impressed with the team, so I started neurofeedback as soon as possible. My brain is now functioning the way it used to, and I can confidently say I feel like myself again. I am so thankful I have met the people at LifeWise and be able to recover from my concussions before I head to college this fall. The neuro-therapy LifeWise provides has significantly improved my quality of life, and I believe it could help many more people with their problems.”

“Great place to go if you’re looking for an alternative treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD and learning problems. Dr. Helfand is a great guy who cares about his patients. Neurofeedback Therapy has helped me in more ways than I ever thought possible. Thank you Dr. Helfand for everything you have done for me.”

“I’ve been in a pretty good place the last few months, and I’d like to credit you for helping to make that happen. I appreciate the advice, perspective, and feedback you’ve given me, as well as just being available to listen while I get my thoughts out.”

Thanks for today! I just had to email you and say that I felt so energized after talking today that I even talked to my boss about some of the frustration I have been experiencing at work and we had a pretty productive conversation about it. It’ll be interesting to see what happens between today and when we meet next but I was so proud that I stood up for myself 🙂

“As of 30 years ago, I’ve been suffering from chronic panic attacks that would hit me at any given time and place. Last year I experienced a severe panic attack while heading to spring vacation with my family. I felt horrible and my wife and kids for the first time saw me experiencing and attack and never knew that this happens to me because I managed to hide it from them. It was then that I decided to accept my condition and seek professional help. Although most doctors would treat this disorder with pills, I chose not to contaminate or become addictive to pills and seeked an alternative solution. I found Dr. H while searching thru Google and decided to give it a shot. Since the fist day I met him he encouraged me that this condition is treatable with the right training. Once I started my treatment, I seldom suffered from any attacks and now I feel like a normal person being able to work and do all those little things that I limited myself because of fear of a panic attack. I highly recommend this treatment, it really works and Dr. H walks you thru it with a positive mind.”

“My daughter has had 5 neurofeedback sessions and she just told me that she is feeling better. She thinks the treatment at LifeWise has helped her brain. About 5 years ago, she had a severe reaction to a medication, which left her brain in a compromised state. She said her brain has been slowly recovering on its own over the last 5 years but doing neurofeedback at LifeWise has accelerated her recovery just in the past few weeks! She believes in neurofeedback now even though she had a bad experience at another office, and I just want to thank you so much for helping her out!”

“I can’t say enough about Dr. Helfand and neurofeedback. Following years of Lyme disease, a small stroke, and poor blood supply to my brain, I had trouble finding words. I didn’t trust myself to think clearly or to hold up my end of a conversation. If I had any sort of professional meeting, I would write down everything I needed to say, and I’d practice saying it. Even then, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to remember when it mattered. In other areas of life, distance driving was impossible. I’d be nodding off at the wheel if I drove more than an hour, and I frequently got lost, even with the GPS. Afternoons were wasted, because I’d be too sleepy to function. Then I’d be wide awake at bedtime, but too distracted to focus or get anything done. It would take hours to fall asleep, and then I’d wake up constantly and stare at the ceiling. Every morning, I’d wonder how I could possibly get through another day. I was cranky. Ask my husband. Since beginning neurofeedback, I drove from Massachusetts to North Carolina, and I was alert and awake the whole way. I find words easily. I can think on my feet, even in stressful situations. I feel alert and focused, and I have no trouble getting things done quickly and efficiently. I even finished writing two novels that had been mostly done for months. Dr. Helfand is kind and approachable, entirely professional, but with a ready sense of humor. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants to reclaim lost parts of themselves, or who just wants to be their best possible self. It’s amazing getting up every day and looking forward to life.”
