I've been battling panic attacks, anxiety, and depression for a long time…read more I've tried medications prescribed by psychiatrists and doctors, but I didn't like the side effects or the fact that they lose effectiveness over time. I felt like there was an underlying issue that if only I could find a way to address it, I would feel a lot better. I did a lot of research and found that neurofeedback was a promising new treatment for mental health, so I did some research and found the top doctors in the Portland area who specialized in neurofeedback. The first two I went to were more targeted towards children, but when I went to see Dr. McManus, he was very much targeted towards adults, so I gave it a try. After 40 weeks of treatments, I can definitely say that it was worth it! Whenever I get a panic attack, it goes away almost instantly, like a reflex action in my brain. I haven't had a depression episode in months. My anxiety has also calmed down a lot. Dr. McManus is a great person to talk to and his methods really work. You can tell him what particular issues are bothering you, and he will adjust the therapy session to concentrate on those areas of the brain. He listens really well and is very empathetic. I will say that it takes many weeks before seeing results. I didn't see the true benefits until about 32 weeks into the 40-week program. You have to give the neurofeedback therapy time to work on your brain for it to have results that you can notice.

After learning about Neurofeedback from friends, I reached out to Dr. McManus. I found him to be kind and professional. The treatments are easy with little side effect (sometimes I'm a little tired after). I believe these treatments have been helpful and I feel much more like "myself." My friends and family have also noticed. I'd recommend Dr. McManus to anyone.

I can't recommend Mindful Therapy PNW enough! After years of struggling to find a good therapist, I…read morefinally feel like I'm in the right place. My therapist is still in graduate school, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they're honestly amazing--super skilled, kind, and really easy to talk to. You'd never guess they're still in training because they seem so experienced. Before coming here, I had some bad experiences with other therapists--canceling sessions all the time and even one who just straight-up didn't show up. It was super frustrating and made me feel like my time didn't matter. That's never been an issue here. My therapist is reliable, consistent, and always makes me feel like a priority. The clinic is also just a really welcoming and comfortable place. You can tell they care about what they're doing, and it shows in the quality of the people. If you're looking for good therapy that's affordable and dependable, this is definitely the place to go! Also for me the office has a great feel, the energy is just magic.

It's taken me years to write this review because the amount that Krishna has helped me is quite…read moreinexpressible. I was referred to her when I had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my foot. A very rare, not well-understood chronic nerve pain issue that was threatening to keep me debilitated for the rest of my life. The MDs I had were at a loss for how to help. I am a dancer, and extremely active in my hobbies so to say the prospect of not being able to move freely or use my foot again was terrifying and traumatizing, is a gross understatement. In my first acupuncture session with her, I went from not being able to touch ANYTHING to my foot, to being able to place it on the floor of my car (which was previously unendurable due to the vibrations, pressure, and swelling from not being elevated) and drive myself over an hour to one of my favorite places. It was like a miracle. Every time I had a session with her, my baseline would improve immediately, and those changes would hold. When people ask me what treatments made the most difference, the two answers I give are acupuncture from "this truly extraordinary practitioner named Krishna", and an anti-inflammatory diet. I deeply believe I would not have recovered without her, and to be frank, that thought terrifies me on behalf of all the people who do not have the chance to receive help from her or someone like her. That was just the effect of the acupuncture. She also did several Psych-K sessions with me over the years. The Psych-K is one of the coolest treatments I have ever had (and I've had a lot). It is amazing, and so relieving to have an experience that cuts so deeply be transformed so that those emotions are processed. I would leave feeling like an elephantine weight was lifted from my shoulders. Around that time, I was having a lot of issues with my mom. Lots of love, but something in our relationship was off and causing some very big problems. We did the relationship balancing Psych-K together (although you don't need both parties for it to work), and it made a world of difference. Of course, our relationship work is still ongoing, but that session was a huge turning point. I live in a different state now, but every time I have an issue it is Krishna that I wish I could see. I am planning on doing some Psych-K sessions around recent issues over Zoom. All in all, I would recommend Krishna to anyone and everyone, she truly is an exceptional practitioner.

Krishna practices intuitive acupuncture - she relies on her intuition to determine which energy points to utilize and to determine what's appropriate for you at the moment. I went in to see her last week and I really appreciated the warmth and calmness in her space. She asks specific questions throughout to further guide her. For me she also used sound healing with tuning forks. I found that I fell asleep and woke up not even knowing where I was for a moment. I left feeling totally refreshed and calm and her recommendation of a blend of herbs has really eliminated a cough that I've had. Great referrals for her are massage therapists and chiropractors that see MVA patients.
