Failed outcomes on stimulants

"I tried Neurofeedback Therapy because of my lack of motivation, distraction and ADD. I also couldn't focus in school, causing me to have bad grades. I was on Concerta and Vyvanse at different times for ADD, but nothing worked. Since Neurofeedback Therapy, I am much more focused and attentive and complete tasks much easier before I forget to do them. My personality has greatly changed overall. I am very comfortable recommending Neurofeedback Therapy because it could really benefit anyone with the slightest issue mentally."

Disorganized, poor grades, constant tutoring

"I did Neurofeedback Therapy 2 years ago in the middle of 8th grade. At the time, I had modifications to my school work, and I was going to Sylvan Learning Center. At the end of 8th grade, I received many awards from different teachers for 'Most Improved'. Since doing Neurofeedback Therapy, I can think more clearly and am much more organized. I am more outgoing, feel much better about school, and have High Honors. I have become very neat and I love to clean now. I am very happy that I did Neurofeedback Therapy with Dr. Tom and Dr. Laura."

Electronic addiction, poor reading, dyslexia

"I was trying to wait until tomorrow but I couldn’t wait! John just woke up this morning and grabbed a book and started reading it completely on his own without me suggesting it. He brought it with him and read whenever he could, and by the end of the day, he had finished the whole book. He’s never done anything like this at all. Thank you!"

Panic attacks, melancholy, difficulty with transitions

"My 11-year-old son did Neurofeedback Therapy this summer after having severe panic attacks last year that at times were paralyzing. Since Neurofeedback Therapy, he is doing much better. His anxiety revolved a lot around facing new situations, new places, and new people. Last summer, he couldn't even stay in camp due to his anxiety. This summer, he attended 2 different camps, in different locations, each for 2 weeks, where each of the weeks had different kids. So, in essence he had to adjust to different settings 4 different times. Not only did he accomplish this, but he did so without his 'not being good enough' and 'always losing' attitude. In fact, he played so well in his last week of camp that he was given the MVP for the week. While he still has worries at times about new beginnings, he is able to handle the worry, and not let it become an all consuming anxiety. I write this with extreme gratitude - thank you!"

Academic challenges and emotional improvement

"My 15-year-old daughter was diagnosed 6 years ago with ADHD and a language-based learning disability that affected her both academically and socially. She also has anxiety and difficulty handling frustration since she was a little girl. Her anxiety got to the point where last year she started punching herself and scraping the skin off her arms with the metal part of a pencil during bouts of anger and frustration. It was at this point that we sought out Neurofeedback Therapy and the office of Dr. Tom Woodman. Since doing Neurofeedback Therapy, we have seen many areas of her life improve. First, she tolerates frustration much better now, and has stopped all self-harming behavior. Socially, she is much more confident, which allowed her to develop new and more positive friendships over the summer. She is much more confident academically as well, and elected to take an AP English class, something that she has always shied away from in the past. We appreciate your true caring. You were always available to answer questions, listen to concerns and tweak the program to accommodate the challenges along the way. Although it was not easy for us to make the long drive to your office twice a week, it was totally worth it. We are filled with gratitude to you, your office, and the therapy that you provide. Thank you."

Anxiety, social withdrawal, Crohn’s disease

"Before starting Neurofeedback Therapy, I was an anxious fearful person. I was a constant thinker and had a hard time shutting my brain down, especially at night. I was also very hard on myself if I made a mistake or did not do something perfectly. Since Neurofeedback Therapy, I am able to let these situations simply roll off my shoulders whereas before, I would think about it for weeks. I also did not like meeting new people or being in new situations. I thought I was just a shy person. After going through the Neurofeedback program, I discovered that I'm not really shy at all. I was always just too nervous to try these new experiences. Now that my shyness is gone, I find that I look forward to being social. I even filled in as a player for my sister’s beach volleyball team, which I never would have done before Neurofeedback Therapy. In addition, I have lived with Crohn’s disease for 7 years now and I credit Neurofeedback Therapy for being one of my key therapies that has helped keep me in remission. To live my life without fear has been the greatest blessing I could ask for. I feel like I can accomplish anything now."

Anger, anxiety, depression, insomnia

"In the past I was prone to anger outbursts, excessive swearing, paralyzing anxiety, easily stressed, depression, and difficulty falling asleep. After going through the Neurofeedback program, my anger and swearing have greatly diminished. While the anger is still there, I can manage it tremendously well which is a vast improvement from my previous state. I also have an easier time falling asleep at night with very vivid dreams. The little things do not stress me out as badly as they used to. Overall I have become a happier and more peaceful person. When I am stressed or anxious I think clearly, calmly and rationally rather than negatively lashing out. I am not as depressed and have developed a more positive attitude. Neurofeedback Therapy has also helped in my familial relationships because I am a happier person, I have more patience and less rage. In addition, my job can be very stressful and toxic and I have seen great improvement in my handling of colleagues and overall workload. I am very grateful for the positive outcomes I experienced with Neurofeedback Therapy."

Social and academic issues

"I am the mother of an intelligent seven-year-old girl who struggles socially and academically. After a lot of research into non-invasive treatment I enrolled her in Brain Balance with some success. From there we completed a 16-week Eye Therapy program also with some visible success. At the recommendation of our doctor who understands my reluctance to use medication, I enrolled my daughter in Neurofeedback Therapy. Much to my delight we have seen immediate results. It is as if my daughter is in the throes of an awakening. She notices it, as do family and her teacher. I would highly recommend Neurofeedback Therapy to any parent who is looking for a non-invasive, medication-free treatment option with real results."

Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD

"For anyone who is suffering from depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, etc., Neurofeedback Therapy is beyond belief. I was myself suffering from a tremendous case of anxiety and depression. I am and have always been open minded to new treatments that could help me, and may I say Neurofeedback Therapy is an amazing treatment. It works. Dr. Tom and Dr. Laura, and their staff, are so helpful and friendly."

Anger management

"I used to be a person that was always full of rage. This rage was a culmination of events in my life which were never treated. For this reason my life was in total disarray, but after my neurofeedback therapy sessions with you, I was able to finally overcome and control my anger issues. I am now able to stop the anger before it built up and took over. Once I was able to control it, I learned how to redirect it in a more positive way. My life now is full of happiness and I can see my life with a better view and respect. I have you and your team to thank eternally for all the amazing work you did and continue to do. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."

Impulsive behavior and racing thoughts

"Before Neurofeedback Therapy, he had many impulsive thoughts and outbursts, excessive talking, disorganized thinking and expressive language. With Neurofeedback Therapy, racing thoughts decreased, talking calmed down, there was more focused thinking and improved organization. He became better able to start projects and assignments, with better behavior in school and less talking. I'm comfortable recommending Neurofeedback Therapy because the results were immediate and lasting."

— Mother of a 12-year-old boy

Insomnia and stress

"Before Neurofeedback Therapy, I suffered from terrible insomnia. I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t struggle with my sleep. For the last 25 years, I sometimes went as long as 5 nights in a row with only an hour or two of sleep. Since finishing the Neurofeedback Program, I no longer have these experiences. My sleep has improved 100%. It’s like night and day. Now that I am falling asleep and staying asleep through the night, I’ve noticed major improvements in my life. I have less anxiety and fatigue, and my focus, energy level and memory have improved significantly. I feel less frazzled and more organized in my work life and personal life. I am also more willing to socialize and interact with new people, which I did not enjoy doing previously. My relationships with everyone in my life have greatly improved after going through this program."

— Milford, Male 46 years

Sleep and eating habits

"I was always tired. I felt that I tried to overcome feeling tired by eating too much and having wine at night to try to sleep better. With Neurofeedback Therapy, my sleep has improved and I'm rested each morning. I feel more focused. I feel I'm eating better as a result. My eating habits have improved. I'm not trying to feel better by eating, and I'm not trying to sleep better by using alcohol. I'm comfortable recommending BrainCore to others because it's non-invasive, easy to do and it gave me the results I was looking for."

Sleep and fatigue

"After completing Neurofeedback Therapy, I no longer fall asleep in the middle of the day, or nod off in the evenings while hosting family and friends. Overall, this has significantly helped me be more alert and less fatigued."

Focus and confidence

"I feel smarter and more focused. Neurofeedback Therapy is fun!"

Stress, OCD thoughts, sleep

"In the fall of 2014, after being under increased work stress and feeling unusually tired and anxious I decided to do Neurofeedback Therapy with Dr. Tom. I was having a very hard time staying present and being focused on success at work. Instead I found myself trapped in an almost OCD-like thought trap related to what I would do if I was fired and how my life would change. Increasingly, my sleep became less effective and I felt exhausted every day. At home, it became almost impossible to talk or think about anything other than work. After 20+ Neurofeedback Therapy sessions, I can definitely say that I feel much different. Within the first two weeks I noticed my sleep was much better and I actually felt alert and ready for work. Over the course of the treatment, I also noticed a marked decline in my anxiety and the OCD-thought compulsion stopped. I was able to focus and work more efficiently without the burden of what-if thoughts popping up daily. I am very pleased that Neurofeedback Therapy contributed to this positive outcome."

Sports optimization

"Dr. Tom, yesterday’s competition made me a firm believer. I went through 4 grueling workouts, taking 2nd out of 40 in each and every event by a long shot. My mental game was unreal. While there were many opportunities to stop and take an extra breath, or let negative thoughts flow through me, none of that ever crossed my mind. I grinded through each phase of the workouts, focused on controlling my breathing, and relied on my training to carry me through. I would absolutely recommend that anyone try Neurofeedback Therapy with Dr. Tom. It has the potential to affect so many aspects of your life that you really won’t understand until you do it."

Headaches, sleep, organization

"I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how satisfied I am with your neurofeedback training I just completed this spring. I have had problems with headaches but also with getting a good night's sleep. After completing the sessions I started to realize that I was sleeping better than I ever did before and the frequency of my headaches had diminished. The bonus benefit I derived from this training, however, is my alertness and organization skills. I have a very busy schedule and am involved in many boards and organizations. I find that I have a very good handle on balancing all of the various tasks I am assigned and my confidence level has skyrocketed. I also feel less shy about speaking up or speaking my mind. Thank you so much for turning me on to this."

Chronic pain, anxiety, depression

"About 18 months ago, an MRI showed I had a pinched nerve in my lower back, which caused sharp pain and extended down to my leg and foot. This became chronic pain that made it difficult to stay on top of the depression and anxiety I was trying to control. I spent an entire year trying different things for the pain, including medication, physical therapy, cortisone shots, chiropractic neurology, and spinal decompression, but still had a fair amount of pain. The change I have experienced with Neurofeedback Therapy? The pain is practically gone. My mind is definitely calmer, more focused and balanced. Without constant pain, I am calmer and less emotional, my relationship with my teenage son has improved significantly, and my social anxiety has decreased quite a bit as well. I would recommend Neurofeedback Therapy because it would have saved me a lot of time, money and pain."

Migraines

"I have suffered from migraines for over 30 years. I have tried medications but found the after effects to be as debilitating as the headache. Two years ago I had an awful migraine that was lasting for more days than I cared to count. When I shared this with Dr. Laura, she suggested Neurofeedback Therapy. I tried it and am happy to report the migraines ceased without medication. I went almost a full year without a headache. A year later, when I had another migraine, I immediately asked for more Neurofeedback sessions. The headache quickly ceased. I find Neurofeedback Therapy a better option for me because it is a drug-free, pain-free and most importantly, it worked."

Academics and confidence

"Our son did Neurofeedback Therapy with Dr. Tom starting in the summer before his senior year and it absolutely helped him with the college process. His test scores got better, his focus increased, but most noticeable was how his confidence improved. We always recommend you, your staff and Neurofeedback Therapy to everyone. We can't say enough about it!"

Academics and panic attacks

"I just want to update you after doing the Neurofeedback Therapy program this past winter. I went back to school and soon realized I was reacting differently to things that would usually trigger my anxiety. I was able to concentrate significantly more in class and my short-term memory increased. In my life, I was never able to get more than a 3.1 GPA, even with accommodations that included extra time, a different room setting, and a notecard to help trigger my memory. But this past semester, after BrainCore, I decided not to use my accommodations and achieved a 3.5 GPA and made the Dean List. I made this GPA while taking one of the most difficult classes for me, math. I was able to memorize and understand the problems with ease, unlike ever before."

Peak performance

"Our son is an absolutely changed kid. He's happy, has a girlfriend, traveled to Europe with her family and then traveled home alone without any issue, had wisdom teeth pulled today and still is skipping around like he did when he was a kid. He had an injury this past lacrosse season but he never let it get him down. He won the coaches award for just pushing through adversity and still doing what he needed to do to be part of the team. He's excited about college. Thank you!"
