Client Testimonials

GENERAL:

“Thankful to have found a place full of compassionate therapists who embrace a wide variety of techniques! Mary Beth has been a truly incredible companion in my journey, helping to equip me with the tools I need to continue healing. Alternative Therapeutics is a safe space filled to the brim with life-changing knowledge. Keep up the good work y'all!”

“I could not imagine my life with out the help of Alternative Therapeutics. After years of traditional talk therapy, I am so glad to have added Neurofeedback. It has helped tremendously with my emotional regulation and sleep. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking to improve their life.”

“I have been seeking talk therapy to work on a specific stuck point for years with no avail. I still found myself spiraling into panic during triggers, and overall unable to move on in my life. I decided to look into body-based therapies, and found neurofeedback. I also had heard of EMDR from friends as a helpful healing modality. And then I found Alternative Therapeutics, which did both AND was affirming and inclusive for all communities. I was sold! Mary Beth was my therapist, and she was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I could rave and rave about her. She companioned me so gently and guided me through all the new-to-me healing modalities. I’m still in shock and in awe, but I’m writing to let you know that it works. It just works. For me, it worked in ways that talk therapy was never able to. I feel free, and I am grateful.”

BRAIN INJURY:

“Britney is absolutely amazing. She is very caring and passionate about helping others and it shows in her care with you. She pays attention to all your needs and gives it her all in helping you achieve them. After my 20 sessions of neurofeedback after a brain injury I have made so much progress. I am sleeping 100 times better and getting good restful sleep every night! I have also had a significant decrease in my headaches and migraines. Overall I am very happy with neurofeedback and would recommend it to anyone wanting to give it a try especially with Britney.”

ANXIETY:

“Loved this therapy!! Specifically accommodated to my needs and the struggles I was going through. Very helpful with OCD, which is very hard to find someone who specializes in specific treatment for this. I’ve come so far and have the tools to now manage when times get hard again. I’ve become a new, thriving person since I’ve started treatment here. I highly recommend this unique form of therapy! :)”

“I truly can’t recommend Alternative Therapeutics enough. I have struggled with anxiety, depression and OCD among other things since childhood. I have been to “traditional” counseling on and off over the years and have tried multiple medications throughout the years only to be left feeling the same or have other problems created. That is until I heard about Alternative Therapeutics, to say this form of counseling has changed my life is an understatement. I have gained control over my mind and these things no longer run my life. I now have the mental freedom that I thought was unreachable. I will forever be grateful for this place and the lifelong changes it has provided me.”

“I went to Alternative Therapeutics because I was experiencing a lot of anxiety, stress and some depression, Britney taught me new skills for dealing with these issues and I feel great. Britney is easy to talk to, incredibly understanding and she explains everything so that you understand what she is doing and why she is doing it. Britney has taught me skills that I will use for the rest of my life. I highly recommend the Alternative Therapeutics team.”

“I was able to make it through my teeth cleaning today without feeling like I was going to meltdown. The skills that Alternative Therapeutics have taught me have helped me in so many ways. I work on coherence with my breathing and heart rate. I visualize myself in a different place and tell myself I can get through anything. The neurofeedback has given me more clarity in my daily living. I am not as anxious in situations I used to be very anxious. They provide help and support every step of the way. I highly recommend this service.”

“Incredible experience! Better sleep, mental clarity, reduced anxiety and increased attention span are just some of the things I'm experiencing after my sessions at Alternative Therapeutics. My therapist made me feel very comfortable through the whole process and walked me through breathing and meditation techniques that I now easily incorporate in my day-to-day life. “

DEPRESSION:

“This therapy is above any other you will experience. Training your brain is awesome. Looked for a long time to find these type of therapists in our area...Blessed and grateful they are local. I’ve worked with both Chase and Olivia. With their help, I am on my way to completely healing my stress, anxiety and depression. You must try this group of modern day therapists! So much more than just talk therapy or counseling.”

“I highly recommend anyone with depression and/or anxiety check out Alternative Therapeutics. For a little over 10 years I have been living with MDD and GAD. I've tried CBT, Art therapy and just about every medicine under the sun during that time with little to no results. I was convinced I was just going to have to live a life of unexplainable sadness and anxiety. Then I stumbled across Britney and learned about neurofeedback. After speaking with Britney and doing a little research I decided to give it a go. This was the best decision I've ever made and the results were nothing short of a miracle. My therapist taught me mindful meditation, controlled breathing and performed neurofeedback on me twice a week for ten weeks. Upon completion of these 20 sessions my sleep schedule was now normal and consistent, with very little fatigue during the day. This was a huge change as I was previously sleeping 12 hrs a night and tired ALL day. I was missing out on a lot of my life and just going through the motions. This is no more, I sleep 7-8 hours a night and feel energetic ALL day. I was also very sad without any real reason the majority of the time and feeling hopeless. This slowly subsided over our time together to the point that I have absolutely zero depression. This was a first in 10 years!!!! I was even able to get off some of the medication I was taking, which was exhilarating for me and helped me lose some weight that the medicine put on me. I think of my life on two timelines now, BNF (Before Neurofeedback) and ANF (After Neurofeedback) because the two are like night and day. My therapist was highly intelligent, dedicated, and compassionate. She made me feel very comfortable and was wonderful at explaining and guiding me through this process. I highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with depression and anxiety!”

ADDICTION:

“I highly recommend. It is hard for me to put into words how amazing I feel. I came to Alternative Therapeutics with trouble sleeping, anxiety, stress, lack of focus, and, on top of that list, I wanted to quit smoking! After my 20 sessions with her, I have been sleeping soundly; I am now able to handle my anxiety and stress with the mediation techniques I was taught; the fuzzy brain I was experiencing is gone; and the most wonderful of them all, is that I have been smoke free for 2 months!! All without prescribing drugs! My= therapist always made me feel like she was rooting for my success and was in my corner if I needed a little nudge to keep going. It was an amazing experience. I can't thank her enough for helping me to improve my wellbeing and introducing me to the 'Mindfulness' mediation. I don't go a day without it!”

ADHD:

“Two weeks before my daughter started 1st grade at 6 years old she was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome and slight ADHD. I was devastated because I knew our lives were changing from that moment on. I was scared, sad, worried for my daughter, and so many other thoughts crossed my mind at the time. Most physicians recommended putting her on medicine, of course, but that was not an option for us. We had a consultation and I knew at that moment that this was the solution for my child. My daughter is now 10 years old in the 4th grade getting ready to go to middle school and this was her best year by far academically. She has made great leaps and strides ever since she started therapy with Alternative Therapeutics last year. Each month she gets better and better. She’s not on any medication whatsoever and learns and does class work like a normal child at almost 10 years old. Each year she progresses more and more and she now no longer shows signs of ADHD. I'm more than impressed with the knowledge, professionalism, patience, and kindness we’ve been shown. It’s best thing that's happened to our family and we are beyond blessed to have found them. If your looking for a safe alternative route to medicine, Alternative Therapeutics is your place. I highly recommend them!”

AUTISM:

“I had no idea about neurofeedback before working with Britney and her team. I was really hesitant. My son is a non-verbal autistic kid who goes in and out of appointments ALL day. After much thinking I decided to give it a try. I love how they have worked with him. In just a short time, he has been able to sleep better, focus better, not stim as much, and make several new noises. He is not talking yet, but the fact that he made this much progress in a short amount time I am positive we made the right decision and am looking forward to seeing what else is in store for him with this process.”
