I experienced sudden, complete deafness in my left ear right after testifying against a pedophile who had victimized me and my sisters for years. A friend referred me to Grant. Willing to try anything, I visited Grant with no expectation that it would help. After the 1st treatment, I immediately experienced profound relaxation (which was a welcome relief after the harrowing criminal trial). On my 2nd visit (which Grant very graciously agreed to last-minute and on a Saturday, when his office was closed!), I experienced a noticeable improvement in hearing. I was absolutely amazed. After both visits, I felt peaceful and it was as if all my anxiety just washed away. Incredible. I have now had 6 treatments with Grant. My hearing has improved so much. I feel calm and contented for the first time in my life. The gains I've made are lasting. read more

Echo Rock Neurotherapy - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I was a skeptic. There are not enough studies that I consider to be robust enough for me to go to Grant, but he's a smart guy and after trading emails, I came in for what I thought would be a single session. After trying it I must admit I feel much calmer and a more even level of energy. I also have meditated at Spirit Rock and know where he teaches is a very robust place, as is his Yale education. I still am a bit skeptical but must admit that it did have a real effect upon me. Parking is super easy with tons of spaces nearby. Great Juice Girl food at the place downstairs. Grant's coworkers are very nice and the office is very clean. They still ask you to wear a mask which helps keep everyone an extra bit safe. read more

I met Grant Rudolph six months ago at a friend's book signing. When the conversation turned to his work I was immediately intrigued--doubly so because I've been a licensed psychotherapist since 1996 and had never heard of neurotherapy. One particular statement he made during that first conversation really struck with me: "Neurofeedback shows your brain how it is wasting energy worrying about the past so it can let go and relax into the now." I had my doubts, but I decided to look into LENS. In short order, I discovered that not one, but three friends I trust had done it with great success. One of those friends said: "it's the most powerful thing I've ever done." Pretty impressive for a personal growth junkie. When I asked her what she gained, she paused for several moments, then said: "Peace of mind." So I decided to give it a whirl. I didn't have a specific objective in mind (although Peace of mind was certainly attractive), I just wanted to be relieved of a persistent fear of being judged by that, at times, gets in my way so I can't fully enjoy the magic of life. After the first session, I felt a tremendous sense of freedom and was able to dance wildly at an outdoor concert with little concern for what people think of me. I slept eight and a half hours that night, compared with my usual six and a half to seven hours--a welcome shift that continues to this day. I had a second session a week later, which yielded an equally surprising and delightful shift: meditating became easy! Whereas I'd always struggled to sit for a full 15 minutes, I was suddenly able to meditate for 30 minutes or more with no effort and little sense of the passing of time. Meditation became a joy rather than a chore. But the real miracle showed itself in the months that followed when I was diagnosed with alopecia areata. Over a period of about ten weeks, during which time Grant treated me with LENS several more times, all of my gorgeous long, blond hair fell out. It was psychologically devastating. I felt ruined. Neutered. Unjustly punished by the Powers That Be and angry as hell. I had no idea how much my hair was an essential part of my identity and suddenly it was GONE. All of it, right down to my eyelashes and nose hairs. What is truly remarkable to me is that I did not go into clinical depression. And with my history (I've had two major depressive episodes in the past) that is nothing short of miraculous. This has been THE most challenging personal trial of my life... more difficult even than breaking my neck and spending 5 months in a halo traction device... and yet I've not succumbed to depression. And I attribute that to the sessions I had at Echo Rock Therapy. Grant and neurotherapy allowed me to grieve without giving in to the feelings of hopelessness that are characteristic of clinical depression. I've been relatively stable emotionally and able to access my innate resourcefulness to meet this huge challenge. I am taking steps to heal my immune system (alopecia is an auto-immune disease) and doing my best with what I have to work with, which is quite a bit more than my worry-mind wants me to see. read more

I was impressed with the results after only one LENS session. The neurofeedback therapy (LENS) helps to induce a unique relaxed state, reminiscent of specific meditative states that Grant will help guide you through. This feeling lasts for several hours after the treatment and into the following day. I suggest several visits to Echo Rock in order to get the full therapeutic experience. I highly recommend the therapy to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. Or to anyone who's curious in neurofeedback or consciousness research. read more

Grant Rudolph is a very gifted and committed curator of 'Your Best Brain,' helping to heal and optimize the neuropathways so that you show up as a more connected and resourceful person. His LENS technique is fascinating and effective and Grant's expertise is obvious, and his passion is infectious. I felt centered and clear after just one session! read more

Reason for seeking out Grant was that I was having severe migraines. I had tried a number of different treatments for the migraines, all of which gave a temporary fix, but no long term solutions. Grant was sort of a last ditch attempt to get them under control. I had started to miss days at work, and felt the migraines were starting to control my life. Somehow it is impossible to put into words the feeling of relief you get from the sessions with Grant. It's as if the old record is broken, and there's a new recording going in in your brain! Run to his office right now! read more

Ah -- which word to choose? Astonished? Amazed? Absolutely grateful? At this point I have had only four sessions with Grant Rudolph -- significantly less than the lowest recommended "dose" (if you like). And yet I feel truly liberated. I now realize what "Be Here Now" IS. I can now meet challenging situations -- triggers, and just plain worrisome events -- and NOT be taken over, ambushed, by my traumatic past. In two weeks I turn 77, and for all those years I have been the continued victim of the terrifying, brutalizing assaults of my violent, psychotic "father" and the non-intervention of my alcoholic, childish "mother". After those four LENS sessions, I no longer perceive far, far too many current events as profoundly threatening repeats of my terrible childhood. And I no longer need to lash out in pale repetition of my "father's" desperate attacks and needlessly hurt others. What FREEDOM! Of course I understand that there are many levels in the simple phrase, "Be Here Now". And so I will continue to visit Echo Rock for more sessions, despite the six-hour round trip over a couple of mountains. And I will post as I go. Many, many thanks, Grant! read more

I have seen Grant three times now for LENS (low energy neurofeedback) therapy. Its kind of like an EEG (?) but less wires and faster. Apparently I have a high level of theta waves (he likened it to squirrels running around my brain), which makes sense. I've been under a ton of stress and trauma lately (relationship ending, constant construction all day next door to where I live/work, etc). After the first session I felt completely calm and uplifted and open, like I'd been on a meditation retreat for a month. I felt it strongly the following couple of days too. The next two sessions were not quite as huge a shift but I still noticed this lovely, soft feeling of calm and clarity and it seems to be long-lasting. I wish I knew about this years ago... read more

I've been dealing with this excruciating head pain for 17 months resulting from a large metal object falling on top of my head at work. Since insurance companies now a day deny all work related claims if the injured worker continues to work, it gets extremely difficult to get medical attention we deserve... I decided to take matters into my own hands and was referred to Grant Rudolph for the LENS treatment. This injury has brought not only great depression, but also trouble processing thoughts, waking up naucious every day with vomiting.This increased pain feels like someone hitting you on the head with a metal stick all day long since I awake everyday. My first session with Grant I already began noticing my mind feeling clearer, I havent waken up feeling naucious and he had re-located the pain to a different area and so it felt different. My second session I described the pain was still present and by the time I left his office I began to not feel pain at all! I feel like this has been a true blessing! After 17 months of feeling like I've just been falling deeper and deeper into an abyss I am now finally beginning to fell normal again! Bless u Grant! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Grant Rudolph and LENS therapy. I cannot believe that I had never heard of LENS before I started seeing him. I felt cognitive improvements the very first session I had with Grant, including feeling more calm, focussed, alert, and clear-headed. My motivation skyrocketed, and every session after that left me feeling a bright kind of awareness that had eluded me before, and it consistently lasted for hours after each session. Grant explained to me the impact that head trauma in particular can have on my mood and cognition long term, and given my history of concussions and other blows to the head playing football, all I can say is that I wish I had known about this kind of treatment years sooner. Thank you so much Grant! read more

A very interesting experience. I had a lens session with Grant. The next day I had kind of a mild headache which he said could happen with too much stimulus but the next 3 days my mind was very clear. If you've ever done a meditation retreat,it was that kind of feeling. I can see how it would be very helpful for kids with ADD or brain fog from a head injury. read more

I've started seeing Victoria for migraines, PMS and stress, and have began treatment with the Photonic Stimulator - it's amazing! I feel relaxed and a sense of overall calmness after treatment - then feel refreshed and energetic the next morning. I'm looking forward to the continued and long-term benefits. Victoria is wonderful! read more

I wasn't exactly sure how this neurothrarpy was going to work, but after the first session I really understood. This is amazing. I felt calm, relaxed and very much like I had just come out of a very deep meditation, very aware and bright. And what was most surprising was that the effects of this lasted several days. I found myself less stressed in every situation, making better choices for myself and with an overall feeling of well being. I can clearly recommend this therapy for anyone considering it. read more

My diagnoses were depression and anxiety associated with grieving over the sudden loss of my spouse 19 years ago. Ever since, constant repetition of the events and a deep depression have affected my social functioning, affected my work stability, as well as sleep patterns, appetite, and basic joie de vivre. I've seen Grant now for five LENS therapy sessions. Immediately after the first, I felt a lifting in my shoulders. My stiff neck and teeth clenching and grinding were alleviated, and two months later, I no longer have a stiff neck. I didn't feel the exuberance that many experience after the first treatment. My awareness of the changes came on overnight. I wasn't as irritable with traffic and with things that usually annoy me and even anger me. I still wake up in the middle of the night, however, I am able to get back to sleep quite easily. I am no longer kept up by racing thoughts and an anxious stomach. I still use marijuana to regulate anxiety, mood, sleep, arthritis pain, and appetite, but started using a vaporizer to reduce the amount. I also felt an increase in sensitivity to alcohol. I have felt the social confidence I had prior to my loss coming back, and others have noticed it too. I've also suffered from migraines since I was 10 years old. Recently, my migraines had been reduced to once a month. Two months later after LENS, no more migraines. I have discovered that LENS helps you correct negative brain patterns. Your brain then recognizes the positive ones. And, you learn how to opt for the positive patterns. All of my stress and anxiety induced ailments are gone - neck stiffness and pain, migraines, and even psoriasis on my ears and elbows. I will be continuing therapy with LENS. I suggest LENS to all those suffering from similar symptoms caused by anxiety. What a chance discovery! read more

I got Neurofeedback at Echo Rock for the initial 20 sessions and it changed my life. I started getting treated when I was a junior in high school for help with anxiety and to improve my SAT scores. My anxiety decreased more then I could have ever imagined and my SAT score went up over 300 points. I noticed that all of the fear I had associated with testing vanished and I was able to relax more. I also had really bad headaches and they completely stopped after a few sessions. It changed how my brain worked and I started taking better care of my body. In the years since that initial treatment series, I have gone back about once each quarter of the year to keep my brain working at its full potential. Neurotherapy was my secret weapon for helping me take tests. Grant and Victoria are amazing Neurotherapists and work hard to make you feel comfortable and they always scheduled me in for appointments that were convenient for my busy schedule. read more

Grant Rudolph and LENS therapy were an amazing find. I started working with Grant to address lifelong habitual fears that other therapies never adequately resolved. With repeated sessions of LENS I began to experience a lightening of the limitations I had been so used to in the past. The therapy has had a cumulative affect that has continued months after finishing the sessions. I feel a clarity, openness and creativity that reminds me of experiences I had during long meditation retreats. read more

After my first session of LENS, I became a fan. I did not have a specific complaint but was curious and wanted to experience the effect of It. Wow!!! After Victoria gave me my first treatment I felt an incredible sense of confidence; as if I could go out and run a marathon and win it! The funny thing is that I don't even jog. Every subsequent session gives me greater focus and I notice that I am more productive too. Victoria is also a lovely person: kind and professional and easy to trust. Victoria and LENS rock! read more
