According to the Centers for Disease Control, currently 6.1 million children are diagnosed with ADHD – almost 10% of all U.S. children. But ADHD is not a disease, it’s simply…

I highly recommend Gray Matters as an alternative to traditional treatment for ADHD and Anxiety. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and empathetic. After receiving neurofeedback treatments, we have seen a dramatic reduction in both ADHD and Anxiety symptoms in my son. We found Gray Matters after trying all the traditional treatments with limited success. Neurofeedback has offers us the best result we could have asked for! Thank you Anthony and Alisa!

True miracle work is done here. Anthony has not only helped me take on a new approach to mental and physical health, but has helped me in more ways than any person or medical team ever has. I have tried numerous medications, seen 5 Neurologists, naturopaths, acupuncture, chiropractors, you name it. Gray Matters gave me a fundamental piece of information, that being WHY I lived with chronic pain, depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. I have had about 20 sessions (and continuing) and have had significant relief from migraines, about 70% less! Gray Matters has helped me in more ways than I could possibly describe. I highly recommend this group of wonderful people. After MANY years of searching for relief, I feel I have found it in neurofeedback. Thank you Anthony & everyone else that has helped me as a young female in college to live a life without pain and overwhelming anxiety.

I am very impressed with Anthony Silver's professionalism, efficiency and empathy. My young son has been receiving therapy here and we have seen overall improvements in speech, motor skills, and anxiety. Anthony Silver created an individualized plan based off of an extremely thorough evaluation. His staff are kind and patient, especially Alisa. We are relieved to have found Gray Matters, especially after having a very disappointing and unprofessional experience at a different office in Ridgefield.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Anthony Silver and the dedicated team at Gray Matters. As someone who has struggled with chronic illness, I have sought out many traditional and alternative treatments to alleviate mood symptoms and brain fog. Neurofeedback therapy has been among the most effective. My time at Gray Matters has been a transformative experience and one of the most essential steps on my journey to full recovery. Over the last few months, I’ve seen a meaningful reduction in catastrophic thinking and an increase in mental acuity. Neurofeedback requires persistence and patience. You will begin to notice changes after 10-15 sessions. QEEG Brain Mapping allows you to precisely target your areas of concern. If you stick with the protocol, the rewards are noticeable and lasting. I highly encourage you to contact them.

Thank you Dr. Silver. Since participating in the program at Gray Matters, I have now been off all my medication and thinking clearly. I was on medication for over 20 years and so happy to be without now and feeling great!

When I came to gray matters I was suffering from chronic migraines, anxiety, and debilitating fibromyalgia flare ups. Upon analyzing the images of my brain patterns, it was clear I was in constant fight or flight. The first change I noticed was that I was not having to call my doctor to refill my migraine meds early anymore. Over time they were happening less and less frequently and their severity was drastically decreasing as well. I also found that my nervous system was gaining equilibrium and I was not rapidly swinging from bouts of adrenaline and hyperarousal to fatigue and exhaustion. I began sleeping better and feeling clearer cognitively. The true test of the therapy, however, and what truly compels me to write this testimonial is what it has done for fibromyalgia pain. I have flare ups so bad it feels like three different people are hitting me with a baseball bat relentlessly while my muscles are literally on fire. It is mind blowing pain. After searching high and low for a decade for relief and trying out every single alternative and mainstream treatment known to man, I have found neurofeedback to be the only thing to end a flare up. The therapy also has decreased the frequency of flare ups altogether. Anyone who knows the hell of fibromyalgia can attest that relief is a god send and Gray Matters is like an angel to me in this regard. It has taken time and it is a process but the results are cumulative and real and I am beyond grateful to Anthony and the Gray Matters team.

I highly recommend. Anthony Silver of Gray Matters shares an extraordinary combination of scientific expertise with compassionate care. I came to Gray Matters for help with long term challenges of depression and anxiety. After an initial in-depth meeting and qEEG scan, a clear treatment plan was designed to address my specific condition. After a few neurofeedback sessions, I felt significant shifts and improvement. I am very thankful to Anthony and Emma, and look forward to continued growth and wellness.

My 10 year old daughter has been coming for neurofeedback for a little over 2 months. Prior to coming to Gray Matters-she had 60 sessions of neurofeedback with a different practitioner in a different office. Our sessions at Gray Matters are longer and we are doing them more often (3x/week instead of 2x/week). It would be impossible for me to overstate the effect it has had on my daughter and her ability to focus (she was diagnosed with ADHD & dyslexia) her self esteem, self confidence & positive feeling about school and, well, everything! At the risk of sounding overly dramatic-in this short period of time her life has transformed! She works with a math & reading tutor so that is helping too-but without the ability to focus it was extremely frustrating. Focus is the key. I am full with gratitude for having found Anthony & Lauren & can't speak highly enough of our entire experience. They are in the business of providing no less than-hope for the future. (in case you're wondering-I am not related in any way to Anthony and received no gifts or monetary incentive to write this review-it's the real thing!!!)
