Concussion Treatment without medication

You deserve a peaceful life without having to battle symptoms of a concussion or head injury. Most doctors prescribe medication and then send you home to deal with the side effects of the drugs. I can provide an effective alternative to medications with long-lasting results that will make you independently strong and able to regain your life.

I have helped many others recover from:

• Post-Concussion Syndrome
• Headaches
• Memory & Focus Issues
• Sleep Issues & Insomnia
• Anxiety

Using expert tools including:

• Neurofeedback
• Biofeedback
• Stress Management
• Relaxation Training
• Yoga Therapy
• Mindfulness
• Solution-Focused Therapy

Lasting & Natural treatment

LifeWise is located in Danvers Massachusetts, and I have helped people from all around Boston and the North Shore Including Manchester, Gloucester, Ipswich, Beverly, Wenham, Hamilton, Middleton, Boxford, and the greater Boston area.

Let's Get Started

fix the root cause

My approach to wellness includes a combination of biofeedback, neurofeedback, mindfulness, yoga, and psychotherapy. The combined process has proven to have powerful results. I am also available to provide additional care to what your doctors or providers are already offering. I am ready to provide you with anything I can that will support you in achieving your goals.

Brain Map

A Brain Map (or qEEG) is like a blood test for your nervous system. It can tell you why you have these symptoms, but then more importantly how to fix them. Learn More.

neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is like physical therapy for your brain. It teaches you how to improve control, flexibility, and resiliency of your nervous system. Learn more.

​mindfulness

Learning to calm your nervous system wherever and whenever you like is one of the most powerful tools you can have. Learn More.

psychotherapy

Traditional talk therapy can help you develop insights into your behaviors and thoughts. It can also help clarify your goals towards a better life. Learn more.

“I was having bad post-concussion symptoms ranging from difficulty sleeping to mental fatigue to a constant sense of brain fog. I went and saw a lot of different doctors and never got the therapy I needed. I found Dr. Helfand at LifeWise and I was initially very impressed, so I started neurofeedback as soon as possible. My brain is now functioning the way it used to, and I can confidently say I feel like myself again. I am so thankful I have met the people at LifeWise and been able to recover from my concussions before I head to college this fall. Neurofeedback has significantly improved my quality of life, and I believe it could help many more people with their problems.”

Your Path To Wellness

Most doctors and providers focus on symptoms and disease instead of health and wellness. The reason I have such a high success rate is that I do the exact opposite: we work together to create positive changes in your life by focusing on your strengths and what adds value and joy. In order to help you achieve your goals, we will follow a few steps:
​

1. Intake. I will ask you to complete a written questionnaire before our first meeting so that I can understand your health history and goals more thoroughly.
2. Brain map. If we agree that I am the best person to help move you forward, the next step is a Brain Map to identify why you are experiencing your symptoms and how to resolve them.
3. Plan. I will create a customized plan for you based on your goals, health history, and brain data.
4. Review. We will periodically review and assess your progress together and fine tune it to maximize your results.​
