Depression Testimonial:

Our 14yr old son was severely depressed, suicidal, and had a lot of panic attacks. He tried to attend school, but was unable to due to panic attacks, and soon developed school phobia. He would up be up until 4 in a.m. crying for us to help him end his life. We had him on all the different meds the psychiatrist recommended for 2 years, they helped him out of feeling suicidal, but he was still depressed, had panic attacks and no way could he attend school. So we knew that we had to do something else. We found Lea. We heard about Lea and my husband and I sat down to talk with her about her treatment, neurofeedback. We knew this would help after doing a lot of research about this treatment and she was right here in our town. Our family felt very comfortable with her immediately. We were not sure if Andy could do a lot of treatments as getting him there at first was a little difficult but after a few he didn’t mind coming. He said he didn’t know if it was helping but we saw he wasn’t as bad. Our son went through 20 sessions and no longer has panic attacks and is holding down a job for 8 months now and is attending Lorenzo Walker to get his GED and loving it. He says he is no longer depressed and hasn’t had an attack for 2 years now.

 We are so thankful for Lea and her kindness and compassion and her amazing help in returning our amazing son to us.
