We Treat:
Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. Anxiety can be helpful, motivating us and pushing us to do better. But severe anxiety is debilitating, affecting everything, from sleep, attention, and memory to every aspect of our personal lives.
Gray Matters specializes in both children and adults with anxiety in Westport, CT. We use sophisticated brain imaging to analyze brain function, allowing us to see and measure the over-arousal that defines anxiety. We then use advanced, 3-dimensional neurofeedback to reward improvements and reduce symptoms - effectively, without medication, and with lasting effects. Subsequent recordings are compared to the initial assessment, allowing us to measure change.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 31.1% of U.S adults experience an anxiety disorder at some time in their lives, and 19.1% of adults had an anxiety disorder in the past year. Among adolescents and children, the figure is 31.9%, with 8.3% considered severely impaired. But anxiety in children and adults can appear differently, with younger children often unable to understand or express their emotions, leading to misdiagnosis. Two thirds of all Westport, CT children coming to Gray Matters with a previous diagnosis of ADHD have over-aroused brains associated with anxiety, rather than under-aroused, ADHD brains.
Gray Matters has treated thousands of people with anxiety, from children and adults, to media influencers and combat soldiers. Our methods, refined by experience and the latest techniques, produce measurable improvements in function and real symptom relief, time after time.
