I can't stress enough how much working with Margaret and Pamela has changed my life. I had been struggling with my mental health for years before coming across Emerald Coast Neurofeedback. I initially was simply looking for someone to help with my unmanaged OCD, depression, and relentless anxiety. My partner found Pamela on a whim, hoping to schedule therapy appointments. Even before being sure if she could fit me in soon, she talked through my history extensively on the phone with me and gave me information and resources on types of treatments as well as other practitioners that she recommended in case I decided to take another route. What changed everything was the recommendation that Neurofeedback may help what I was going through. I was nervous, did a lot of research, and ultimately decided that I should give it a try. Pamela was extremely kind and empathetic as we went through my initial intake assessment, even when I felt embarrassed answering questions and dealing with the emotional aspect of reliving certain traumas. I can't stress enough that I've had a few therapists over the years, and the process of finding someone empathetic while still professional is daunting. Pamela met every expectation and beyond. I've never worked with a kinder and more effective set of mental health professionals than Pamela and Margaret. Margaret set everything up, monitored my sessions twice a week and did everything and more to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe and heard. She is a wonderful person that truly believes in what she is doing, and it shows. I went through roughly 20 sessions of Neurofeedback. At the start, I was struggling with nightmares, health anxiety, and even leaving my home. Three months later, I had gained the confidence in myself and my mental heath to accept a job in another country and uproot my life to follow my ambitions. The transition throughout my sessions was so immense and yet so gradual and subtle. After just a handful of sessions, I started to realize that my dreams were less intense and stressful. About halfway through, I noticed that one of my biggest issues involving my health anxiety simply didn't bother me anymore. I am a worrier by nature -- sensitive to medications and anything involving my mind or body. I went into this terrified that it might affect me in ways that I wouldn't be ready for. But instead, I simply went in twice a week, and trusted the process to help maneuver the way my mind was reacting to certain stimuli. And to put it as simply as possible, it worked. I could not be more grateful to have found such a wonderful team, so dedicated to helping others. I specifically want to say that Neurofeedback as a whole is wildly underutilized and should be considered as a form of treatment for a range of issues If you take anything from this massively long review, it should be that this is worth a shot and that you will be in such good hands with this team. Thank you both so much for everything!
