Treatment for Other Conditions

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Experiences involving a traumatic event leave those involved with overwhelming and frightening emotions as the mind and the body attempts to make sense of what happened. Most people manage to process their emotions and return to a normal life. In some cases, people remain in psychological shock, unable to disconnect their memory of the event with their emotions – also known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Sports and Peak Performance

Success or failure in competitive professional environments, like sports and business, is defined by marginal differences in outcome – a split second or a better decision can change everything. Often, this marginal advantage comes down to one simple variable: focus.

Autism

Autism is first diagnosed in early childhood and affects a child's normal development in language, social interaction and behavior. An estimated 1 in 100 children in the U.S. are affected by Autism, making it the third most common developmental disability in the country. As Autism carries into adulthood, these individuals continue to face the challenging behaviors and symptoms associated with Autism.

Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are natural reactions our mind and body use when we sense danger and need to get away, or when we need to prepare for important events - essentially warning us when we need to take action.

Asperger's Syndrome

Asperger’s syndrome is a developmental disorder that makes it difficult for an individual to interact with other people. Often considered a high-functioning form of Autism, Asperger's syndrome makes it difficult to interact socially and children with the disorder are often clumsy and may experience delays in normal motor skill development.

Depression

Over 17 million adults experience clinical depression every year, making it one of the most common psychological problems in the United States. Depression can make it a challenge to perform even routine daily activities and in more severe cases, depression may lead to thoughts or attempts of suicide. The pain and suffering from depression affects both those with the disorder and their families.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Everyone has the occasional moment where we feel the need to go back and check to make sure we turned off all the lights or locked all the doors before we leave the house. However, in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the thoughts and behaviors we occasionally feel become so excessive that they interfere with daily life.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

It is common for children to be defiant during their developmental stages, where they naturally test their limits. During these times, such as the toddler years or teen years, children act with defiance in order to assert themselves – and sometimes they can act out with defiance when they are hungry, tired or upset.

Bipolar Disorder

Everyone experiences mood swings to some degree, from time to time. However, for people with Bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness, they will experience sudden, severe mood swings, switching from very good states of mind to very irritable or depressed states of mind very quickly. The symptoms of Bipolar disorder can lead to damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide.

Anger Management

We all experience anger on occasion. It is a very natural, healthy human emotion we generally can control. However, when anger unpredictably becomes out of control and destructive, it can lead to a variety of problems with work, relationships and a person's overall quality of life. Anger management provides treatment for people who have challenges controlling their anger, helping to reduce the causes (or triggers), degree of anger and overall effects of anger. With effective treatment, individuals can learn to manage their anger and lead normal, productive lives.

Concussions

Repeated concussions without the opportunity to heal between instances are proven to likely result in long term deterioration of brain function. Using leading-edge technologies like HPN Neurofeedback, we are often able to change the course of many deficits due to damage from repeated concussions. 

Closed-Head Injuries

Every year, millions of people experience some form of a head injury, although in some cases when the head is injured because of a sudden, violent motion, the brain can be forced to knock against the skull, also known as a closed head injury. Closed head injuries range from minor head injuries, such as a mild concussion, to traumatic brain injuries, which lead to severe brain damage or even death.

Tourette's Syndrome

Tourette's syndrome is a disorder where people have involuntary, repetitive movements and vocalizations called tics. The first symptoms of Tourette Syndrome is almost always noticed in childhood, generally between 7 and 10 years of age. It is estimated that 200,000 Americans have the most severe form of Tourette's Syndrome, and as many as one in 100 have milder symptoms. Tourette's Syndrome can be a chronic, lifetime condition, although most people with the condition experience the worst symptoms in their teens, with improvement as they approach adulthood.

 

What Our Patients Say

I struggled with the tensions of running a large company. Using EEG Neurofeedback and brain mapping, Dr. Silverman helped me dramatically increase my ability to focus on details and manage stress. My family and staff noticed the changes after just a few sessions, and these improvements have been lasting.
