Marks bedside manner is condescending, controlling, critical, and tone deaf. Not a kind or empathetic place to be if a patient is experiencing symptoms of ADD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, or focus/memory/cognitive issues---which are exactly what neurofeedback is supposed to treat. There are better practitioners in the city.

There are several other places in town offering neurofeedback at home device. this one is the worst

The staff here are very professional and respectable. They are well trained and experts in both Neurofeedback and conventional talk therapy. I recommend this to anyone that is looking for a well-rounded treatment regimen to treat their condition.

The person called Mark always condescending to patients.

I have known Mark Smith as a clinician and instructor for fifteen years. He is open, candid, and professionally dynamic. An intensely knowledgeable practitioner, he has managed to develop a unique form of treatment and neurofeedback training that has been shown to achieve splendid results. He is intellectually honest and persistently refines his knowledge and techniques. His willingness to work with clients with complicated and chronic problems that other professionals have been unable to help is a testament to his dedication, determination, and compassion.

I can tell you that I am a completely different person in all the best ways possible. To those who poo poo this, you have no idea how much better your life could be. Depression is almost non existent. I feel like a new person.

Neurofeedback has been a life-changing journey for me. I’ve had sleep problems since I was a kid, and for the first time in two decades, they finally feel manageable. Additionally, it’s reduced my overall anxiety to a staggering degree, and I’ve felt my overall alertness and creativity go up. Grateful for Mark, Noel, and Leila’s support.

Mark Smith is very kind, caring and puts you right at ease. I went to Mark after a friend’s recommendation and could not be more pleased with how smooth my QEEG sessions went. Mark is world renowned for his neurofeedback work and I would recommend anyone looking for relief from various mental conditions to visit Neurofeedback Services Of New York for help.

I found Mark Smith through my training with renowned clinician and researcher Bessel van der Kolk.Neurofeedback has changed my life radically. My basic body functions have improved and Ive become a far more regulated person. Aside from having far less anxiety, my sleep has radically changed, I used to toss and turn for hours and now Im asleep within a minute, maybe two.Training with Mark and his colleagues has been an opportunity I feel exceptionally lucky to have, and would recommend it to anyone who has the privilege of working with him.While much of technology is making us go too fast or creating new addictions, to cell phones, computers, etc- Neurofeedback is a balancing force that is uses technology to help us connect with our bodies. I feel so much more in control of health, my body and my life.

I am so grateful for the work that Mark Smith and his team have done with my adopted daughter. After years of talk therapy, medication and psychiatric hospitalizations failed to produce meaningful or lasting results, the neurofeedback approach seems to be working. My daughter has learned so much about how her brain “works” and how early childhood trauma impacted her functioning. It has meaningfully changed her life!

Neurofeedback helped me regain my memory, my anxiety has gone down, I can remember things, and I am now able to function. My fear levels have dropped since I no longer have memory issues, and I can drive without fear. I am confident and back on track. Working with Mark at Neurofeedback Services of NY has been a life saver.

In my opinion, Mark Smith and his staff should be the first call for treatment of ADD, ADHD, ODD, depression, anxiety, trauma and migraines.He is kind and patient, not to mention very well trained and overall a great clinician. I have used Mark as a resource several times in my own practice.If you are in or near the city and have any interest or questions regarding neurofeedback, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mark before you go anywhere else.

On a personal level, I found Mark to be rude and narcissistic. His treatments were unhelpful in addressing my issues.Edited to reply to owners response:Charlie is not my real name, as I prefer to protect my identity.

I have only been performing ISF training for a few months, but I can say it is my personal and clinical opinion that this is probably the most powerful intervention ever known. With ISF, I have been working with people who thought they were beyond hope. They are getting significantly better, and finally getting back into the life they deserve. Mark Smith used the word “glücklich” in the ISF workshop, meaning that feeling of total euphoria, peace and happiness that sometimes comes upon someone during the training. I have not had this happen during my own ISF training, however I have lived this feeling in a very clinical way for the last few months because I am helping people in ways that I never dreamt possible. Each day I witness miracles.I have seen people that have been so depressed that they were frequently admitted to the hospital for suicidality. Now theyre happy and going back to work or school. Clients with balance problems and mobility issues are walking again. A couple of my clients had asthma that interfered with their lives and sports performance, and now the asthma is gone. Other clients have had horrible gastric intestinal issues to the point where their lives revolved around accessing the bathroom or taking medications just to have normal bodily functions. These people have minimal gastric intestinal issues now. Two of my young clients have had horrific development trauma and are now playing and dancing like other children do. I spent thirteen years working in an inpatient psychiatric unit and saw some of the most dysregulated brains imaginable. Now I have some of these people in my private practice and they are getting better. I would not believe any of this unless I would have seen it on first-hand basis. It just doesn’t seem possible.On a personal note, my daughter had three concussions a few years ago. She spent a couple of years in bed and thought her life was beyond hope, then we discovered neurofeedback. She has had many sessions of surface neurofeedback training (both one channel and four channel Z score) and got her life back, but her gastric intestinal issues, temperature regulation, asthma, and sleep issues still lingered. Since she has been optimized through ISF, she is sleeping well, does not have asthma, and is eating foods that she was never able to eat before. Her GI functioning is fairly normal.I dont know that I can actually find the right words to express my feelings about ISF. Each day I experience “glücklich” because I witness miracles happening in the lives of others. I am very blessed to be providing this amazing treatment. Thank you Mark and all the others who have made ISF possible. We are changing the world, one client at a time.Rhonda Mateer Ross, Brain AdvancesBCN, LCSW, MED

After making an extensive commitment of 35 or so sessions I had nothing to show and no explanation comparing my 2 QEEGs. Agonizingly disappointing at an incredibly difficult time.

Since first meeting Mark around this time last year, working with him has been a wonderfully motivating experience. Aside from his pioneering work in the field of Infraslow frequency neurofeedback, his intelligence and dedication to the field of mental health is nothing short of inspiring. Having a research background myself, I highly respect Mark’s attention to detail and loyalty to evidence-based knowledge. I hope to continue working with Mark as a I grow in this field myself as he is undoubetly a role model for young aspiring researchers and mental health and/or neurofeedback practitioners.

Mark Smith and his staff are really the best in the city for neurofeedback. In fact, I learned how to do neurofeedback from him. Hes a very patient and kind man and an excellent clinician. I highly recommend him for treating anxiety, ADHD, depression or migraines. You will not be disappointed.
