Patient Testimonial about Virtual Reality Therapy

Patient Testimonial from Behavioral Associates

I am now a much more balanced, mindful and calm person

“I was having anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia last year and started seeking help from the experts at Behavioral Associates. Dr. Reiner performed an intake eval and then properly matched me with Anya who specializes in these types of conditions. I am now a much more balanced, mindful and calm person who feels empowered with an armada of useful strategies and techniques to manage and regulate stressful situations in my life. I will say that I believe my own personal investment in this process (I did homework, reading, exercises–I treated it like a course/education) has also contributed to my successful journey through a dark tunnel and into a more calm, inviting and optimistic world. ”

I recommend Dr. Reiner and his team

“The staff at Behavioral Associates is fantastic, and I definitely recommend Dr. Reiner and his team to anyone who is looking for support and help in whatever they may be going through. If you’re reading this review and trying to decide if you should seek therapy or not, I would say do it. What’s the worst that can happen? You’d go a few times and then decide it’s not for you. What’s the best that can happen? Your life changes for the better and there’s no turning back, only looking forward.”

The therapeutic sessions, tools and friendly environment helped me to overcome my depression and anxiety

“I was dealing with a bad nervous breakdown and felt like I was lost with no hope until I found Behavioral Associates. From day one Dr. Reiner and his staff made me feel welcome and safe. The therapeutic sessions, tools and friendly environment helped me to overcome my depression and anxiety and I am in such a better place now.”

The front desk staff is always courteous and helpful

“I’ve been with Behavioral Associates for 1.5 yrs. The front desk staff is always courteous and helpful. The adult DBT class was well organized and my experience with this 6 month weekly class was extremely positive. It was very professional, yet personal and interactive.”

This is a great office with many highly qualified therapists

“This is a great office with many highly qualified therapists and social workers on staff. Even the office staff are awesome and personable. You meet with the head of the office for an assessment and then he matches you with one of his staff that he believes will be the best fit. And he was spot on with me and my therapist has been a dream for the past two years. I’m so grateful for this office and everyone that works here. Easy to get to location with lots of great businesses around so I can have my session and get errands done. Really fantastic – highly recommend”

They just get it and treat you like the human you are!

“I must say this place has truly changed my life. After suffering my whole life and then having what I’d constitute as a mental breakdown, I’m living generally an anxiety free life without using medication. I thought this would never happen, but behavioral therapy is something I recommend to everyone around me!! The staff is not only friendly, but they are relatable and talk to you in a way that doesn’t feel like the other stereotypical therapy offices. They just get it and treat you like the human you are! Give it a shot with them!”

It was nice to feel that I could open up and be myself without judgement

“I left my appointment feeling better than I felt in quite some time. It was nice to feel that I could open up and be myself without judgement.”

I got support and anxiety that was worth my money

“This place was a game changer for what I needed. I got support and anxiety that was worth my money. Highly recommend compared to other places in the area that charge a lot for very little.”

As a direct result of my therapy with Dr. Reiner, I no longer consider myself a phobic flyer

“Cured of fear of flying – I have suffered from fear of flying and was referred to Dr. Reiner by a friend who had great success with Dr. Reiner’s treatment. In addition to finding the treatment incredibly helpful, I also found the staff to be very friendly and up front about fees. My treatment included a session with Dr. Reiner during which we discussed the origins and development of my fear followed by “virtual reality therapy” in which I sat in a chair attached to a monitoring device used to monitor my breathing and heart rate. Then Dr. Reiner put virtual reality headgear on me and ran a program that simulates an actual flight. Throughout my treatment I was taught how to regulate my breathing and was able to practice effective relaxation strategies as I experienced the various anxiety inducing events during the simulated flight. After 8 sessions Dr. Reiner told me I was ready to fly. Although I was nervous about the idea of flying, when I actually experienced that first flght I utilized the techniques I learned and practiced in his office and was able to remain calm throughout the flight. As a direct result of my therapy with Dr. Reiner, I no longer consider myself a phobic flyer.”

Biofeedback has allowed my daugther to get her life back without medication

“My daughter suffers from depression and was recently diagnosed with an eating disorder. I brought her to Dr. Reiner because I was hoping to find a way to treat her effectively without medication. She was seen by Dr. Reiner, a therapist at Behavioral Associates who specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy. She was also taught how to use biofeedback as a way to help manage her eating disorder. This was just the type of treatment we were looking for. We saw results almost immediately and over time she has become more and more healthy. It has allowed her to get her life back without being heavily medicated.”
