Headache, Anxiety, Insomnia & Anxiety

My experience at NITI over the last 4 months has been very helpful to my treatment and recovery of GI symptoms that had recently flared up intensely and landed me in the hospital, as well as causing me to stay home form my fall semester at college. Both the neurofeedback and physical therapy multiple times a week helped me greatly in dealing with the day-to-day pain and muscle tension, as well as the anxiety and general low energy that came with it. With my symptoms, I was having abdominal and lower back pain and very high muscle tension that typically improved after treatment, helping me to feel better on the day to day until I was able to make a more complete recovery. Eventually, I received a new diagnosis and medication from my doctors, and in conjunction with my medication, the treatment at NITI helped considerably to get my body back to normal and to keep it there. Thanks to both physical therapy and neurofeedback, I was able to improve my condition to a level where I am confident to return to college next semester and finally get back to my normal. In addition to my benefits from treatment, the staff were always friendly and concerned with how I was feeling. I would like to thank Ajeet and Smita for helping me achieve my goal of being able to return to classes next semester, and would recommend them for anyone experiencing a similar experience to my own.

Head injury and anxiety

Migraine, anxiety & PTSD

I was referred to Ajeet and Smita because of the intensity of my migraines and the inablitiy of any of my doctors to find anything wrong. I honestly came to Ajeet feeling defeated and in one of my lowest moods that had sustained for over 6 months. Before coming to NITI I was unable to work, unable to drive, and hardly able to engage in normal activites because of the pain. These areas were not only addressed, but they were reversed, and more so I was able to challenge my depressive, anxiety ridden thoughts in order to take control of my life. It has been easier than it ever was before to bounce back from depressive slumps and to calm my anxiety. Overall my outlook on life has been much more positive, even with the stressors, I have had more drive to set and complete goals, step out of my comfort zones, and create and maintain healthy relationships. My time at NITI allowed me to take a different path for my life because, Ajeet and Smita helped guide me to other options. 

Headaches, anxiety, sleep issues

My daughter has had several sessions now and we see a huge difference in her lifestyle. She sleeps, eats, and concentrates at school better. Ajeet is very accommodating and will take the time to explain anything to you. He’s very patient with my insurance company which can be trying. Highly recommended!

Insomnia, anxiety & PTSD

Ajeet is doing a fabulous job treating me for my stress and sleeping issues with my high stress job requiring extensive travel and hours and raising my adopted child with trauma as well as treating my two children – one for trauma and the other for memory and attention issues. I sleep well now and the the LENS therapy has helped me create a calm demeanor in my life that has eluded me for years trying to achieve by other methods. My son can now study for longer periods of time with focus. Our whole family has benefited from Ajeet’s treatments. I highly recommend him and his practice. Also the PT services his practice offers are fantastic – correcting my neck issues has given me more energy and strength to have proper posture now. – Thank you Smita for your kind and loving care.

Insomnia and Anxiety

Based on my excellent experience with Ajeet Charate, I have recommended him to family members and friends, who also have reported the same high level results.  Ajeet Charate is not only effective with his protocol, but an understanding and caring person. Each visit is a relaxing experience, and Mr. Charate explains exactly what each session will accomplish, fully explains how it works, and visibly shows your progress. He has helped me both with grief and anxiety symptoms that restored my enjoyment of life. 

Chronic Pain

I was struggling with chronic pain from a herniated disk. The spine specialist said my disk had healed, but my central nervous system was now over-sensitized. She recommended neurofeedback or cognitive behavior therapy as part of my treatment plan. My therapist highly recommended Ajeet Charate. During the initial evaluation he administered a QEEG test, which indicated that I had anxiety among other issues that contributed to the back pain. I was skeptical at first, but after six months of LENS and neurofeedback treatment the anxiety has greatly diminished and the pain is gone. The combination of physical therapy and neurofeedback worked for me. I feel comfortable working with Ajeet and his staff who are professional and compassionate.

Depression and anxiety

The treatments and counseling I have received from Ajeet has been outstanding and more thorough than I expected after having receiving neurofeedback at another location. My conditions improved dramatically within two weeks and I look forward to continuing being cared for by Ajeet. I believe anyone struggling with mental health issues consult with him personally.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

My family has worked with Ajeet for years now on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum (FAS) disorders with our daughter. Now, both my daughter and I are undergoing LENS and NeuroFeedback treatments to improve our ability to focus and deal with stress. Ajeet is very professional, easy going, and very accommodating to our schedules. I highly recommend Ajeet for neurofeedback and LENS treatments. His spouse Smita is a licensed physical therapist and a consummate professional. She is currently helping me through recovering from frozen shoulder. 

Sensory Processing Issues and Help

As a professional in the field, I was aware of neurofeedback before my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and sensory processing issues. I received very strong personal and professional recommendations to contact behavioral pain management and Mr. Charate to discuss treatment options for my daughter. My husband and I were immediately impressed with Ajeet’s investment in time and attention to his patients. He spent a significant amount of time learning about our girl and her specific areas of challenge and difficulty and really provided an individualized plan, not only based on her EEG results but also taking the information we provided into account. Our daughter also has a seizure disorder and I truly appreciate the importance Ajeet places on the clinical research and data with regard to neurofeedback and seizures.

She has been participating in neurofeedback and lens treatments for about 9 months now and we have seen a remarkable improvement in many areas already. Her sleep has improved tremendously: she used to need about 90 minutes to calm down to fall asleep and now is typically sound asleep within 5-10 minutes. Her intense, negative emotional reactions have also improved and daily outbursts have decreased in intensity and frequency to a few per month on average. Additionally, some of her strong sensory issues have also improved significantly since beginning her work with Ajeet, including her tolerance for different food flavors and textures, her awareness of her body in space, and her ability to physically calm herself. All of these benefits have also allowed her to better participate in interventions to learning coping strategies and adaptive skills, so she is experiencing a positive spiral of improvement due to her progress in neurofeedback. We cannot speak highly enough about Ajeet; we feel that he has quite literally changed our daughter’s life and future.

Anxiety and Depression

After being for years on small dosage of antidepressant to control my daily anxiety and sometimes depression I got tired of the side effects. The medications were not working on the anxiety as well. After doing some research online and contacting several practices, I chose ajeet. On the phone he cared so much about my symptoms rather than what insurance I carried that I came to a free consultation he offered me. Other practices who I called cared more about what insurance I carried rather than asking me about my symptoms.
I’ve been getting treatment for couple months now and I can only thank god and ajeet for his help. My anxiety which was a daily ongoing pain went from 10 to 0 after just few weeks of treatment.
Ajeet and his practice are focused on you and really care. You are not just another face or a file. He puts efforts and takes all the time needed. He goes out of his way to make you understand and takes efforts and time to make you achieve your goal.
I highly recommend this practice. Thank you so much for all the help.

Autism

Can you vision recovery? From where I stand today, I can. Three years ago with a diagnosis of autism, it felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and the only way out was to jump. Take the leap to unknown. I promised to myself I would ‘try’ to be the best mother to this child that God has blessed me with. I kept pushing to find the missing pieces of the puzzle but not in any specific order. First one was aba, second speech, third ot, then I kept finding more pieces! Play therapy, food therapy, physical therapy combined with neurodevelopmental therapy, movement therapy. GF, SF, low sugar, no dye, no color, omitting most excitoxins. Am I scaring you? Let’s not forget homeopathy, customized vitamin therapy/neutrigenomics, extracurricular activities, and sensory diets, all the screams, tantrums, going out to eat?! Are you kidding me? I still get a chill when I think about those days. An immediate panic attack. Oh no..It’s going to happen any minute, but it is so limited now. It’s been little over two months that we started QEEG guided neurofeedback therapy. Besides during detox time, when I feel I’m not going to see the end of the tunnel, I see the light again. I get kisses, thank you, I love you so much mom, I like your purse, I like your pink shirt, be careful momma or you will fall. These are all the words coming from my broken-winged angel. Neurofeedback (lens therapy) is a big piece of the puzzle which is helping us to complete the bigger picture. Is it the last piece? I don’t think so but I’ll continue to look. I hope my words will give you the strength to believe that you can find ways to help recover your child. I’m not there yet, but we’ll get there and I know it will take time, but it is okay.

Migraine Headaches /Anxiety / Depression

I started my journey with Mr. Ajeet Charate about 6 months ago. I had suffered from headaches, anxiety and mild depression for many years. After trying many medications and several therapies I had learnt to adapt around my symptoms and lead a debilitating life. I had learnt to suffer quietly and had lost the hope that I could lead a normal life. I started neurofeedback and lens (low energy neurofeedback system) treatment sessions with ajeet about 6 months ago. His commitment, care and support, individualized one on one quality care and his kindness has not only helped me to be medication free but I am enjoying a normal life with my family. I now volunteer, work part time and able to spend more quality time with my family. I started with 2-3 sessions each week and transitioned to once a week. I have reached my goals now and have been attending therapy sessions only twice monthly. I am eternally grateful for what Mr Ajeet has done for me and my family.Ajeet and his practice are focused on you and really care. You are not just another face or a file. He puts efforts and takes all the time needed. He goes out of his way to make you understand and takes efforts and time to make you achieve your goal.I highly recommend this practice. Thank you so much for all the help.

Anxiety / Panic Attacks

I am incredibly grateful that I discovered the quality of counseling, physical therapy and biofeedback from bpm, LLC. The practice is very hands-on and practical,they offer the state of art neurofeedback and biofeedback components to their treatments. Their feedback is real and effective and the counseling is both compassionate and tailored to my individual needs. Ajeet is also trained in ACT, DBT, and mindfulness. He genuinely cares about his patients and has helped me set goals to continue moving forward with my life in the ways that I value. With an open mind and a willingness to work hard to achieve my goals, my anxiety has become less of a threat. I do not take any behavior medications but rather strive to practice mindfulness daily. I am blessed to have such a compassionate and talented team of support with my anxiety. I would personally recommend Ajeet to anyone with anxiety and/or pain, he really listens and really cares.

Migraine Headache

I wholeheartedly recommend Ajeet Charate for neurofeedback without reservation. I struggled with daily migraines that kept me close to a bucket because I would throw up so much. I had one migraine that was 19 days long. I remember holding my head to keep it still when I had to get out of bed. My whole life was totally affected. I found neurofeedback when all other treatments that I tried failed (medication, psychology strategies, super-restrictive diet, chiropractic, massage, etc.). The series of medications I tried not only didn’t work, but I had horrible side effects (dizzy climbing a flight of stairs, significant weight gain, hair falling out). So I searched the research for something effective for migraines and learned about neurofeedback. I’ve done both lens (low energy neurofeedback stimulation) and traditional neurofeedback with Ajeet for the last 10 months. My migraines are now averaging 17 days apart (I’ve got a little more treatment to go). They are less severe, never last more than a day, and sometimes go away with Advil. I like how neurofeedback helps focus treatment on specific problem areas and regularly measures how my brain is responding. I also like how I don’t need to practice in between sessions–the gains are permanent. I have only had positive side effects (improved memory, better decision making, etc.). Neurofeedback and Ajeet have been a godsend! I hope you find him as helpful as I have! Thanks Ajeet!

Debilitating Headache

My name is Hannah and I’m 18 years old. I have a constant bilateral headache for about 9 months. The constant everyday pain makes it difficult to do a lot of things, including going to school. It began in February 2013, and by April I was no longer going to school. I finished my junior year of high school at home. I had a quantitative EEG (QEEG) done in May and started the LENS (low energy neurofeedback stimulation) treatment roughly 2 weeks later. Without the LENS treatment, I would be at home 3 out of 5 days, but with it I can be at school almost every day. The treatments that include lens, behavior modifications and education about pain management has helped me lower the amount of pain I’m in and even on days that are somewhat bad, I can still get through the day fairly well. I know I’d not be able to finish high school without it, but I would be in a ton of pain and under a lot of stress. The treatments makes it easier to deal with my pain and for that reason it has been a lifesaver. I don’t know what others may want to begin lens or neurofeedback treatment for, but I know that it is definitely worth it.

ADHD

My 9-year-old adopted daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and attachment issues. We had done numerous therapies, but she continued to have problems with focus and concentration, oppositional behavior, and completing her homework in a timely fashion and without meltdowns. We started QEEG guided neurofeedback treatments 4 months ago and have seen huge changes. Her behavior has gone from frequent meltdowns to compliance and cooperation. She completes her homework quickly and her grades have improved. She says she feels less anxious and is happier. The change has been remarkable.
My 11-year-old adopted daughter also has sensory processing disorder, add, and anxiety issues. She had poor focus and executive function skills. She was failing math and after 4 months of QEEG guided neurofeedback treatments she got an a and an a+ on her last two math tests. She is planning her time more efficiently and completing her assignments without problem. She truly loves school and has more self-esteem now that she feels more confident in her skills and less anxious. Neurofeedback has truly been life-changing.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

For the last 20 years I have suffered with OCD and to say that at its worst it has been a plague to me would be a fair description. Anyone who has been affected by this condition will be aware of its debilitating effect when an obsession takes hold and simply will not pass. Just about everything else in life takes a back seat as the victim battles through pain and anguish and longs to get back to some sort of normality.
It would be wrong of me to say that I am as bad as I was 20 years ago and that I have made little progress in overcoming my illness. On the contrary, as I have grown and developed my insight into OCD, I have learned not to fear it so much and have taken massive strides into controlling it – rather than it controlling me. Nevertheless, as I am sure fellow-sufferers would agree, there are still times when a bout of the condition seems to come out of the blue.
This is precisely what happened to me last august. I was hit by a number of anxiety-provoking thoughts, which would not, however hard I tried to rationalize disappear – even with some intensive counseling. It was at this time that I explored a different avenue of treatment – that of “neurofeedback” – and this is where I came into contact with Mr. Ajeet Charate, a board certified neurotherapist. I have been seeing Mr. Charate for about two sessions twice a week and the results have been quite profound. It is hard for me to explain exactly how I feel much better, but I certainly do. I still have the worrying obsessive thoughts, but they just don’t seem to go nearly as far as they did some 10 months ago. Consequently, I am able to concentrate much better on my daily living and feel much happier about life itself. There is a little way to go, but I really do feel better week by week.
In addition to the therapy itself, I am always encouraged by Mr. Charate and his approach to the treatment. He is a very knowledgeable man with a lot of patience and understanding. I feel comfortable sharing my problems with him and he is very good at explaining the overall situation to me in return. Neurofeedback definitely has its place in the treatment of conditions such as mine and Mr. Charate is certainly worthy of his role in such therapy.
