I saw Dr. Sheehan a couple of years ago (late 2015, early 2016), and signed up for approximately 12 neurofeedback sessions. On the plus side, I was very impressed with Dr. Sheehan's involvement with current research and education on neurological effects in the brain. She really seems to know what she's talking about. On the other hand, I didn't particularly care for her bedside manner. I found her to be somewhat harsh and aggressive, which I found off-putting in a therapist. (As an example- at one point, in response to an anecdote I related to her from my childhood, she literally said, "Well, THAT was stupid". I still don't know whether or not that was an attempt to joke, but it seemed very judgmental as well as unnecessary- I can't change past behavior.) She also asked me to confirm that I was not suicidal, because she said that if I was, she would not treat me. I found that strange, as well. Also the fact that my name was never spelled properly on the receipts she gave me, although I provided her with the correction numerous times. it just added up to make me feel that I was not valued as a person and a patient.
As far as the neurofeedback sessions went, I honestly don't know whether they did anything or not. They were quite expensive, however. But the biggest complaint I have is that the gentleman who applied the equipment was a minimum of 10 minutes late to all but two of the sessions. This was more frustrating because I was always early, resulting in me sitting around for at least 20 minutes before he even arrived to let me in the office. He was a very friendly person, but he had a lot going on in his life at the time and he also ended up having to reschedule several of our appointments. Again, I did not feel particularly valued, and because of that, I would not in good conscience recommend this office. read more
