    We were at the end of our rope with both children. We had fought with them for years, over homework, chores, and just getting along. They each were on medication for ADHD, and yet our home was still crazy. At 14 and 12, both kids were starting to fail in every subject, teachers were out... keep reading »

Neurofeedback Sessions:

It all began with our daughter, Sophie… we were reluctant to try medication… the therapist brought up Neurofeedback and told me how great it would be for her situation.

I tried a number of things for a long period of time. Meditation initially, then working with non-certified and certified counselors for…years. I was making ‘progress,’ but not getting much improvement in the level of comfort that I was looking for…

I just wanted some sense of normalcy and happiness…now discomfort isn’t there. I think it’s easier to meet new people, which has always been difficult in the past.

I didn’t know it was possible for me to feel this way just on a regular day…I experience comfort and ease in my body, which I didn’t even know that I could do before. My sleep is better. My mood overall is fantastic. I don’t experience fight or flight as much anymore – it’s a rare occurrence.

What prompted my interest in Neurofeedback is that when I first heard about it, it was a mindbender…

I always want to be better at everything I do – that’s just my nature – so the idea that this process could improve my skills across the board was just, well, a little hard to believe.

We were at the end of our rope with both children. We had fought with them for years, over homework, chores, and just getting along. They each were on medication for ADHD, and yet our home was still crazy. At 14 and 12, both kids were starting to fail in every subject, teachers were out of ideas, and the future looked bleak. Every day was a battle, and at times…very ugly.

Our friend recommended Dr. Cale, and we were reluctant as he does not work with insurance. However, after meeting with him, he provided two services that have changed our lives.

First, he provided a few sessions of guidance on how to manage our home and our routines. This brought peace, order, and responsibility to the home within five weeks. However, as predicted, the ADHD symptoms still interfered with their academic progress.

This was when we enrolled both children in the Neurofeedback program. While Dr. Cale warned us that change would happen slowly, from the inside out, we did not expect the incredible turn-around we experienced…especially with our more violent, mouthy, and academically disinterested 14-year-old.

Within a month, his teachers were emailing us about his remarkable shifts. He started completing assignments, asking a few questions, and did not stir trouble at school. Given the changes with COVID, he also had days of schooling at home. Even that became workable, as we didn’t battle to keep him on task.

Overall, the parenting piece Dr. Cale gave us quickly brought calm to the home. The Neurofeedback training, however, has changed how our kids’ brains work. They are better focused, less distracted, and more motivated to get work done (and of course, none of this is perfect). Both have reduced their medications and will likely be medication-free once the Neurofeedback is complete.

One note: Neurofeedback is not cheap, but the outcomes are well worth it, given the changes we have seen. At least speak with Dr. Cale to see what services might be of help. We were both reluctant, but the remarkable results speak for themselves.

I have suffered for years with headaches, dizziness, and fatigue after an automobile accident and head injury. Nothing had worked, and I have tried everything traditional and non-traditional. Over the years, the whole thing took a huge toll on me, and I was becoming very depressed about my future.

When I heard about Neurofeedback, I was doubtful simply because so many things had failed me. However, the reference from my physician was strong, and so I tried it.

As Dr. Cale predicted, my QEEG or brain map showed lots of problems, and he predicted a gradual course of improvement. He encouraged patience and persistence.

And so it was. I stayed the course, even though improvements went slowly. First, I started having fewer headaches; then my dizziness went in and out but has gradually dropped over time. This allows me to do more without ending up in bed for two days.

What means the most to me is that I get to spend time with my grandchildren, and they see me as a normal grandmother. Not someone afraid to laugh and play with them. My depression was also treated with Neurofeedback, but I believe the biggest effect on my emotional life has come from having a life again…with my family and grandchildren. They are everything to me.

If you have a head injury and have tried everything else, I say try Neurofeedback. It has turned my life around. I am NOT 100%, but I am 75%-80% of the old me. Six months ago, I was at 20%.

So this, for me, was the answer I was seeking. I say give it a try. Neurofeedback has changed my life.

Therapy Sessions:

Parents of Jesse, Age 12

Within the first two months, we started to see a calmness he had never shown before.

He was also starting to articulate what he was feeling and what was happening.

Instead of acting out, we’d hear him say, “I don’t know what’s wrong…but I’m just angry” or “I’m just upset.”

Those were the first breakthroughs we were having, where he actually started to describe his feelings instead of acting out.

Mother of Richard, Age 14

The Joy of Being a Normal Teen-Ager: The first two weeks, we all noticed a difference. We went from constant aggression to almost just pure conversation.

When things aren’t working, it’s my job to give my child the best possible opportunity and resources. He was not diagnosed with autism, but he fit some of the buckets more towards that intermediate range between ADHD and autism. And the group therapy wasn’t working.

He was with kids that were troubled and that just wasn’t him, so that was worthless. It even had an adverse effect. He couldn’t learn to talk to people. He’d be fidgeting under the table. Absolutely worthless.

We saw Dr. Cale for help with our son, who was keeping us awake at night for hours. We were an angry, impatient family as everyone was losing sleep. We had tried everything, and our pediatrician wanted to put him on medication.

Within three weeks of working with Dr. Cale, we had a calm household with our restless, tantruming son sleeping soundly in his room.

My husband and I could not be happier. Rather than medications or months of therapy, Dr. Cale pointed us to a precise game plan, and it worked just as predicted. He seems more focused on getting results than other therapists we have met in the past.

I highly recommend Dr. Cale!

I found Dr. Cale online and went to him because I read the positive reviews. I also had a friend who recommended, even though he doesn’t take insurance.

The result: In 7 sessions, I changed the bad habits I had and was on track for what I wanted. I was drinking too much and exercising too little, which made me feel crappy about myself.

Within a few sessions, we addressed my bad beliefs and did some cool things to ‘leverage’ me into better habits. I have dropped 22 pounds, rarely drink now, and feel better than ever.

When Dr. Cale asked if I would put my verbal feedback in writing, I had no problem with it. I just say to anyone: Don’t come wishing for sympathy. Come wanting to change. If you do, I believe Dr. Cale can help.
