Drake Institute of Behavioral Medicine

Drake changed my life and made me happy again. I had depression and anxiety from work stress and I tried three clinics with various tools. Only Drake worked out and I feel positive about life now. The doctors and the nurses are knowledgable, sweet and caring. They take the clients' well-being as their top priority, which is the main difference compared to the other clinics I had been to. I have recommended this place to my other co-workers.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and I was fortunate to have found The Drake Institute to help us through middle school. He has responded so well to therapy and started noticing changes after a few sessions. He now has better control of his emotional regulations, and his grades have gone up. We have gotten many comments of teachers, family and friends in regards to change in his behavior. I am forever thankful hence the 5 stars. Thank you Drake Institute and staff for taking good care of my son, you make each visit pleasant.

Drake Institute changed my life. I have had depression for as long as I can remember, 20+ years and have had some very very low points in my life. I got on antidepressants at age 15. Depression, medication and coping mechanisms altered my brain. When I tried for the 4th time in my life to get off my medication this year, I successfully weened myself off 14yrs of antidepressants, but that came with extreme mood swings and made my life a living hell. It was at this time I found Drake Institute and Dr. Velkoff assured me that my brain needed to be re-aligned after years of a drug. At Drake, I started with a brain-map and biofeedback, then moved to others types of neuro-feedback. I explained how I was feeling the whole way and they would switch protocols immediately if something wasn't working for me. I noticed slight differences, but only saw real improvement after about 20-30 sessions. I can say I no longer have a depression disorder and my life has completely changed. Which is still a bit much to get used to this new version of me, but I couldn't do it without Drake Institute.
