I went to Rhonda because I was having a lot of trouble with sleeping. I tried many doctors and even two specialists and was on all kinds of medications. I love neurofeedback! I am falling asleep pretty quickly and I can really focus during the day because I am awake! Thank you!

In high school, I got a really bad concussion and it seemed like I had a lot of problems after that. The doctors said that they weren't sure how to help me and I felt like giving up. It was awful. After the first few sessions of neurofeedback my life started to get better and now I'm able to focus in college and I'm doing great! I wish I would have known about this a couple of years ago.

I had tinnitus so bad that my life was falling apart. I did a lot of research and found out that most people just have to put up with it. I got dizzy sometimes too which I think was related. After neurofeedback, my vertigo and tinnitus are almost gone and I was able to work again! I got my life back!

I met Rhonda by phone while at my job in Corporate America. She wasn't able to help me with the client I was working with, but answered my questions and said things that gave me hope for my own struggle. I had been on several medications for depression and bipolar disorder for nearly 30 years. I was somewhat skeptical about getting off medications, but decided it was worth the risk. As I was not able to travel to her office, there were additional challenges. Rhonda assured me that neurofeedback could be done successfully remotely. I have been receiving treatment for 8 months and the transformations keep happening. I am so excited to be medication-free for the past 4 months. One of the first major changes was that it felt like my brain had been in a prison and I am now free as a bird to live, learn, love and experience life. I am a MSSW and it has changed the way I approach the clients I work with, and the rest of the staff I work with. There is not an area of my life that neurofeedback has not touched in a significant way. Rhonda will always have a special place in my heart for her approach - kindness, caring, gentleness and compassion. Even though I have not met her in person she exudes these qualities over the phone. This experience has also changed my career. With Rhonda's encouragement I took the ISF training in December to be able to provide this treatment modality to others. I will soon be leaving the corporate world to embark on my private practice to be able to spread neurofeedback in my corner of the world.
I am amazed and marvel frequently at the energy, life, vitality and passion this experience has brought to me. I am 73 years young and feel as though my life is just starting, thanks to Rhonda. Rhonda worked with me and my packed schedule with grace and elegance. Not always easy but she made it happen. MIRACLES HAPPEN!

When I first approached Brain Advances in June of 2020, I was desperate for answers. I had just witnessed my
6-year-old display symptoms common in AD/HD and was trying to get her diagnosed so I can start a path of treatment. I learned about neurofeedback and found Brain Advances. From the very start, I was greeted with friendly and caring staff and a quick response. The practice is organized and the staff are completely professional. They know how to listen and you can see that they genuinely care. The effects of the treatment were almost instant. And now, almost 3 months after the start of treatment, things are going very smoothly. As if by magic, my little girl is back to her happy, calm, and content self and growing more relaxed and comfortable in her own skin with every session. I can’t thank Brain Advances enough for taking a huge weight off my shoulders and helping us go through life with a much calmer and happier attitude.”

When my beloved daughter died at the tender age of 26, I was devastated for so long.
After a few years of major struggle, I participated in Brain Advances therapy with Rhonda Ross and her technicians, and the combination of psychological counseling and neurotherapy made a remarkable difference in my ability to release so much anguish and trauma.
The therapies make a lasting difference in my ability to carry this burden softly and with love.
Thanks for all you do!

Working to heal with Rhonda, Alex, Ayla, and Brad at Brain Advances has been life changing for me. I went in, completely consumed with thoughts of shame and wondering when my next drink would be to drown out the constant self-badgering in my head. Not only have I been able to kiss alcohol goodbye (going on three months now!), I feel like I have a new lease on life. My mind, which was plagued with anxiety, guilt, and most of all shame, has seemingly healed itself, getting stronger in the meantime. Deep neurofeedback has healed me. I have the ability to choose logic over a constant flux of emotion, and it is so relieving to not be in a constant state of worry and angst. Much less often do I feel like a leaf blowing in the wind, tossed about by emotions so strong and convincing I had to heed them. My sense of self is much healthier – I remember feeling the back of my brain warm with bloodflow during a session, and I asked what the back of your brain does. Ayla said it’s where your sense of self comes from, which for me had stored pretty intense self-hatred and, as mentioned previously, shame. Now, I feel like it’s ok that I’m alive, that I’m doing pretty alright. I am forgiving of myself, but also feeling so great I am making huge strides to better myself and my life. I have tried therapy many times, but by FAR have made more progress in the last three months with deep neurofeedback than I have in years with traditional therapy. Deep neurofeedback heals your brain so that you are much more able to change your actions, which changes your life, all while feeling better. Try it!

I have been coming to Brain Advances for several months now. I have a very complicated traumatic brain issue that I had given up hope of ever recovering from. But Rhonda and her staff have been so wonderful and went above and beyond to help me get better. I have seen improvement with my symptoms and I am amazed at their continued commitment to help all their clients. They continue to give me hope, something that no one else could do. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs help!

I have been in pain for years now and went to lots of doctors for my back pain and have been on lots of medicine too. Last year my back got worse to the point where I couldn't work, sleep well or even exercise. I'm so amazed to have most of my pain gone now after going to Brain Advances for a few sessions! It still doesn't seem possible but I guess it is! Rhonda said that my brain needed to learn how to process my pain differently, and sure enough, that seems to be what is happening. My sleep is great, I'm not taking pain medication now and there are lots of other things that are working better with my body now too! Thank you Rhonda and Brain Advances for giving my life back to me!

After losing my son to a devastating motorcycle accident, I was stuck in a sad grieving place. He was 52, with his own family, but was my only child. I searched for two years and several therapists before someone recommended Brian Advances to me. Rhonda and her extremely caring staff have put me on a path to acceptance. Through her counseling and Neurotherapy have found acceptance that my son is gone. I can now think about him and remember all the joyful times again, instead of sadness. Thanks, Rhonda and all the wonderful people helping her to help us.
