Central Coast Neurofeedback

I saw Dr. Blume starting in mid 2023 after having severe anxiety due to a back surgery plus PTSD from the associated MRIs required. This was two years ago and I didn't fully understand until just recently what a wonderful job she did. I ended up having another major back surgery in November of 2024 and I didn't have any anxiety at all. I'm amazed at how my mental state was so strong and my attitude was incredible. Now, here I am facing another major back surgery as the November 2024 surgery was a complete failure. I don't have any anxiety despite the horrendous pain I've suffered over the last eight months and an impending operation that is extremely difficult and more dangerous. I feel wonderful, I'm super happy, my relationship with my wife and family couldn't possibly be any better. Now here's the amazing thing. I needed two MRIs about a month ago. I always take five Valium in order to make it through the MRIs. I also take my oldest son because I'm known as a runner... I've run out of numerous MRIs after just looking at the machine. My son keeps me from running and from walking into walls because I'm so drugged up. I went in and did two MRIs back to back without any anxiety, nervousness, completely awake and 100% cognizant of everything happening. It was a miracle!!! Dr. Blume, you are a miracle worker and I encourage anybody reading this to consider Dr. Blume if you have any issues similar to mine.

My experience with the Loretta neurofeedback process exceeded my expectations. I came to her with a head injury causing emotional issues as well as concentration issues while I was getting my graduate degree. I came for a little over 6 months of treatments, and found that during the process I felt relief rather quickly, but then over time, and since treatment ended, I’ve still seen improvements in my capacity to self regulate, to take on larger challenges in my life, and think more clearly. I feel in many ways that my life has changed almost 180 with what I’m capable of doing - I can enjoy life more fully. Dr. Blume was patient and invested in my progress, and very thoughtful in how she guided my experience of the treatment. I would highly recommend investigating the possibilities of treatment with her and her team!

I went to Dr. Barbara Paul-Blume for help with my ADHD. She told me about LORETA, a program that helps your brain reprogram itself, and all its benefits. The treatment took about an hour each time and was very easy to do. It helped with my memory, executive function, ruminating thoughts, instructive thoughts, and anxiety. Dr. Blume was extremely supportive, kind, encouraging, understanding, and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for help with their ADHD.
