ADD/ADHD
We came to see Dr Fibus and his Neurofeedback Clinician Vinni DiNinno in the fall of 2009 for our daughter. Our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 7 years old. She is now 12. After going to several Psychiatrists, trying several different psychostimulant medications, it always ended in the same place. The medications seemed to work for a short period of time before the medication affects began to dwindle. The side effects of the medication never outweighed the benefit for very long. She was failing academically as well as socially.
Vinni took the time to answer all our questions in person before he even met with our daughter. We both felt his sincerity, compassion and deep understanding of children and their needs. After two meetings with Vinni, we decided to go forward with our daughter neurofeedback training. Our daughter is difficult to deal with and we felt Vinni to be an expert in handling difficult and challanging behaviors. He gently encouraged our daughter to particpate in her training. She really liked Vinni and that helped.
We began to see a difference in our daughter’s ability to focus during homework time at home after about 3-5 sessions. Somewhere after about 15 sessions, friends of ours were commenting on our daughter’s progress. And finally after about 15 sessions her teachers confirmed that she was able to pay attention longer, stay out of trouble and had a much better attitude toward school and her classmates. We all feel great about our experience with neurofeedback.

“Our son was 13 when he was diagnosed with a speed processing problem of severe proportions. School was After just 12 sessions of neurofeedback therapy with Vinni we saw enormous improvement. By then end of 40 sessions, the transformation was remarkable. His verbal comprehension, math concepts and perceptual organization improved dramatically. Most importantly, he’s calm, he can focus and he’s happier.”

Anger Management
Before Neurofeedback I was a hyper, anxious, and easy to anger Young adult man. I wanted to get my Anger under control as it was affecting both my meaningful intimite relationships as well as my relationships with my customers. I lost many friends, many family members wouldn’t talk to me anymore and many long-term clients just wouldn’t do business with me because of my impatience and the way I would “go off” on them. Most importantly, my fiance’ was about to leave due to my uncontrolled anger. I found Dr Fibus and after 20 neurofeedback sessions and his customized Anger Management Program, I’m happy to say that I feel more in control of my emotions. My family, friends and customers are the ones who noticed first and I am now able to grow in my relationships. Sure I still get angry, but I can deal with my anger in a mature productive way that empowers me and others. Basically, I’m able to enjoy my life.

My wife and friends say I am a changed person! I no longer “lose it” when frustrated or angry and I can now have a disagreement with them without going into a rage.

In summary, my experience with neurofeedback has accomplished every single goal that I had wished for with the very onset of my initial concerns with Dr. Fibus. For me, this therapy has changed my life only for the better. I offer my sincerest thanks to both Dr. Fibus, and Vinni for their dedication and service to real people with real needs.

Autistic Spectrum
I began researching Neurofeedback for my ten-year-old son because he has many layers of issues I was hoping might be addressed, instead of resorting to medication. General anxiety, rigidity in food choices, unreasonable fears, compulsive behavior (eyelash pulling) and sleep disorder (periodic limb movement0 were all areas to be addressed.
From the very first session, my son’s compulsive eyelash pulling ceased. He went from pulling every single day to a pattern of it only returning in times of great stress, but then disappearing again after a day. This behavior has been reduced to a point that he can relax about it. He has asked to try at least five new foods since we began our Neurofeedback sessions. All requests happened unprompted, and with great joy…followed by positive feelings about the new foods, and an overall feeling of success. My son’s sensory system is well-regulated, and he is a happier kid thanks to Neurofeedback and the very gifted and caring Clinician he works with,
Vinni DiNinno.
My child is a more rested kid, as his sensory system allows for more restful sleep. He looks forward to his sessions 3 times per week and is never ready to leave. Although he understands why he attends the sessions, and wants relief from his symptoms, he feels like he is just playing video games that he loves. He leaves each session feeling rejuvenated and happy. As a mom, I can’t ask for more.

Anxiety
“I consulted with Dr. Fibus because of my history with anxiety and depression. I had been on antidepressant medication for years, but wanted to stop taking it because of negative side effects. After about 10 sessions of neurofeedback I felt much better, more energized and activated, yet calm and relaxed. Now after twenty sessions, I am no longer experiencing mood swings and I don’t take antidepressant medication anymore My husband is thrilled, my kids are thrilled. My husband often tells me, “It’s so great to have you back”! I highly recommend neurofeedback as a great alternative to medication.”

I used to worry about everything! My relationships, my job, my family, me….the whole 9 yards. I had always felt like my life was a struggle in most every way. The worry had taken a toll on my physical body as well. I suffered from cronic mouth pain, headaches and stomach cramps. I have had 25 sessions to date and feel that our work with neurofeedback is nearly complete. My mouth pain and sores are gone, I haven’t had a headache in two months and I can now go on about my day not worrying whether or not my stomach is going to hurt. My pessamistic attitude has been transformed into an attitude of hope and wanting to be positive. My glass is now half full!

Migraines
I have suffered with migraines for 5 years. I’ve tried all the migraine medications, some helped some didn’t, none got ride of them. With medication, I would have at least 2 migraines a month. One that was triggered by my menstral cycle, the other, not sure what did it. I had been to 10 neurofeedback sessions before my cycle was going to start, this time…no migraine! I have completed 20 neurofeedback sessions and remain migrain free! I get the occasional headache a couple times a month but they don’t last more than a couple hours and none of them turned into a full blown migraine. I also feel more calm and peacful. I would recommend neurofeedback to anyone that suffers from migrains. If you are like me, you’ve tried everything else, what have you got to lose!

Sleep Disorders
I can sleep now! Ever since my daughter was born, 21 years ago, I have been unable to sleep through the night. My pattern was this: didn’t have a problem falling asleep, but woke every 90 to 120 minutes and it would take me atleast ½ to fall back to sleep. Many nights after the 1st of 2nd wake-up, I would get so frustrated that I just got up for the day, I would get up at 4 – 4:30am when I didn’t have to go to work until 8am. I felt tired and lacked energy most of the day. After the 3rd session of neurofeedback I was still waking but could fall right back to sleep. It’s been almost one year since my last neurofeedback session. Now my pattern is: fall to sleep easily, wake up when the alarm goes off! On the nights that I do wake, I go right back to sleep. I great side effect as a result of my ability to sleep the entire night, I save money! I used to wake up and turn on the shopping TV stations and spend money that I didn’t have on things that I didn’t really want! So sleeping through the night has made my back account grow! Anyway, I now remember what it was like to have energy during the day from a good night sleep!
