Mental Health Begins in the Brain

Brain Performance Center has the BEST staff! From the moment I stepped into the office I felt so cared for. Everyone was SO friendly and helpful.

The brain map and the neurofeedback work has given me sooooo much hope that my brain can be fixed. Luisa, who help me figure out how to work the equipment and explain how everything works is so patient and thoughtful. She always gets back to me so fast if I have a question and has been so encouraging throughout the process which makes all the difference!

Thank you to the whole staff!

I have found the brain mapping to be a very positive experience and I am very pleased with the results. I usually work with Katelyn who sets everything up for me and she is fantastic to work with and very knowledgeable about the process and the technology. I highly recommend this facility.

Blessed Sleep! The impact of the neurofeedback on my sleep has been profound. With great sleep, I am functioning in life at a higher capacity , thinking better, remembering better, and able to get lots of different things accomplished. I also notice an improved, overall sense of well-being, especially when stressed. It was something unexpected. I was sick for a couple of weeks and struggling with coughing at night, etc., so I went in for a tune-up when I recovered. It worked that night with amazing success. I will probably have tune-ups now and then when needed.

The staff is exceptional. They are bright, kind, friendly, helpful, accommodating and very safe. I am so grateful for Brian and his gift of this particular Brain Performance protocol to the world. My husband and daughter are in process now as well as many friends. Jump in!

Not only is everyone here kind and helpful, the treatments were highly effective. They helped with significant pain in my body, greatly lowered stress, brain fog was gone, GI issues were positively effected as well. I am truly amazed at the difference this has made in my life. I highly recommend it! I am very grateful for this wonderful team working diligently to help people in this way.

The staff, services, and offices are top-notch, but this review is solely on the brain mapping and ADHD Neurofeedback, both my wife and I received. Bryan gave us a thorough and detailed explanation of what this is and guided us through the services we received, never with impatience, but always with a heart to teach and share his vast experience. We are grateful for the services received.

This place is magic! Suddenly, my son started developing very active facial tics at age five. A Neurologist surprising said it was normal, I wanted a better answer. So I took my pediatricians advice and had him do neurofeedback at the Brain Performance Center. His tics plummeted significantly, but occasionally flared. Dr. Bryan Hixson (who is amazing and brilliant) did extra research and directed me to try a supplement that could assist in the long term. And it did! I am so happy my son didn't need medication or injections to solve this problem.

I even decided to get brainmapped myself and found out my sleep pattern never finished the cycle and that's why I was tired all the time. After decades of feeling sluggish, taking naps, and lots of coffee, I finally wake up with energy excited to start my day. And a lot more productive. It took 20 sessions to get here, each 30 minutes long. It's transformed my life.

Another major perk is the staff. Tanner is the nicest, smartest, and professional person who walked us through the brain maps and Nuerofeedback session. My son doesn't ever say he's going to the doctors, he say's he's going to see his friend Tanner. Also, Eileen is wonderful and very responsive with helping to coordinate the sessions.

Brain Performance center truly helped my migraines and sleep issues. I have worked with their team to help my patients and families with all things brain health--migraines, sleep, adhd, concussions, etc. Highly recommend!

Awesome Center and very professional team!. They have definitely helped my son so much! Highly recommend!

This place is for real. After 20 sessions, my son got great results and his old concussive injury disappeared on the brain scan. This business is pretty amazing, word needs to get out.

My wife and I learned about Brain Performance Neurofeedback Center thru a lot of internet research. Our goal was to help our 10 year old daughter with focus, and the ability to handle her emotions better. While visiting the West Los Angeles office where our daughter was receiving her inital scan I decided to spend my time reading the BPNC pamphlet in the waiting room. During that time I mentioned to my wife that this might really help me out as well. I suffer/suffered from ADHD, Anxiety, Addiction and migraine headaches. We decided that I should also have an initial scan done and am I glad I did.

My daughter completed 30 sessions of therapy following her first scan and boy were we pleasantly surprised. Our daughter is thriving. Her focus is incredible, her emotional outburts are milder and shorter, and her ability let go is nothing less than remarkable. She doesnt fidgit anymore while reading and is more engaged even when somthing isn't as interesting as she would like it to be.

Now to ME...I have also completed 30 sessions of therapy and my life has changed since about session 4. Since July of last year about a week into my therapy I was able to stop taking my anxiety and depression medication after 7 years. My temper and ability to handle stress is that of a healthy 50 year human being. I have lessened my drinking by about 90% which has led to a better home life, more energy, and almost never get a migraine. When i do get a migraine it last for a few minutes rather than hours or days.

This was the best investment We have ever made for our families health and wellness. MONEY WELL SPENT!

I cant imagine returning to the life i lived before BPNC and doctor Hixon and his staffs help.

Thank You and We highly recommend this therapy!!

LIFE CHANGING

Thank You,Scot, Lisa & Lindsay Wallach

If i could give them more than five stars, I would! I found Brain Performance Center after a car accident, which led to a concussion. I was miserable and could not function and BFC was the first (and only!) solution to give me hope for recovery. Their entire staff is caring, competent, professional, passionate about what they do and easy to communicate with. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for relief from any type of brain trauma/injury/chronic headaches/ etc. It's been a total game changer and I am SO thankful!!

The Brain Performance Center helped my daughter several years ago. A new issue has cropped up and they are helping her again. Brian is extremely patient and helpful with explaining the results of brain scans and a recommended protocol to resolve any issues. If you or a family member or friend have suffered from a concussion, have brain fog, memory issues, balance issues and the like, I recommend you check out the Brain Performance center.

Leigh Richardson has been seeing me for help with depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and physical pain. I started getting substantial improvement after very few individualized treatment sessions. She really cares and knows so much about the brain. Highly recommend.

Thank you to everyone at Brain Performance Center of Southern California. I was experiencing prolonged neurological effects from COVID that lasted for over a year. A QEEG at the center confirmed that a part of my brain had been impacted by COVID and the diagnosis was exactly what I had been experiencing. Ten targeted Neurofeedback sessions healed the issue and my brain function is back to pre-COVID, honestly a bit better. Everyone at the center is professional, knowledgeable and patient. I actually looked forward to the sessions! I chose to watch TedTalks in my retraining sessions. In short, I would recommend the Brain Performance Center to anyone seeking to optimize brain function. Neurofeedback performed by the right people in the right setting is very powerful. I wouldn't trust my brain to anyone but Bryan Hixson and his team.

I cannot recommend this program enough. I knew I suffered from PTSD and anxiety, but it wasn't until I did a brain map with them that I discovered I also had damage from a concussion I was not aware of. They know how to treat the key issues effectively. I went through this program and it provides relief, understanding, and hope. The staff is amazing and so caring. They do so much good work! It is completely worth it!

My son was having horrible withdrawal symptoms after his doctor tapered him too quickly off his antidepressant. He developed intrusive thoughts that were very frightening for him. He was unable to drive, go to movies, or do any of the things he has enjoyed his whole life. He couldn't go places because of anxiety and the fear of being triggered and having more intrusive thoughts. I heard about neurofeedback from a woman who also suffered with intrusive thoughts. It helped her a lot, so we decided to contact Brain Performance Center of Southern California. We met with Bryan Hixson and our son had his first brain map done a few days later. It showed a great amount of anxiety in his brain. Our son began the neurofeedback sessions, and now after completing them he is doing so much better! He's going to movies again with us, he's able to socialize with people again, and is ready to start driving again. Thank you so much, Bryan!

Hi, my name is Charlie Avila.  My family has been greatly impacted by the neurofeedback sessions administered through the Brain Performance Center.

​

First of all, Bryan Hixson (the director) and all of his technical and administrative staff are excellent, caring, and easy to work with.

​

We were skeptical of the science behind neurofeedback sessions because we had never heard of such treatments, but after my older brother was great helped, my wife and I drove down to Thousand Oaks and had our brains mapped.

​

I found that I had a concussion on the right side of the front part of my brain.  I didn’t even know I had a concussion.  When Bryan began telling my wife all the problems she was having for the last 30 years (having never met her in person) by just reading the brain maps, we were shocked and impressed.

​

Over the next several months, we did the neurofeedback sessions.  My concussion was wiped out.  My wife got completely free of crippling anxiety and fear that had dominated much of her life.  She changed into a bold and courageous person.  I had to learn how to live with a new wife at home!  It is shocking to us now that we had never heard of something that was so effective.

​

I'm a Pastor of a church here in Fresno, California.  We invited Bryan to come teach a "brain seminar" in August 2023.  Many people attended and many agreed to have their brain maps.  So many of our church members and friends were greatly helped with the sessions.  Sleep problems disappeared, ADHD kids calmed down, anxieties and fears were gone, irrational thinking was eliminated.  Honestly, I tell everyone about the Brain Performance Center.  I've told many pastors and friends about the great work that is done there.

​

I can't recommend BPC enough.  They have helped transform the lives of many people all around me.  It works.  The insights alone that you will get from your brain waves and the science behind it are worth trying.  You will learn so much about yourself and how you behave and live from the time you get up until you go to sleep.

​

I recommend them without reservations.

I really went into this quite skeptical with my 7y/o son who was having weekly meltdowns, trouble regulating his emotions, various attention and sensory issues, and burgeoning anxiety issues. To say we've seen a turnaround from nearly all of these issues is an understatement; he is far more resilient, content and much less anxious. He takes less prodding to move from one task to the next, his focus has improved, and his sensory aversions seem to have calmed notably. I am left in awe over this experience. My hope is that these changes are truly as long lasting/permanent as I've been told they are.

I'm 30. I've spent more than two decades suffering with depression, anxiety, OCD--the works, more than a decade in therapy, and a little over a year on an intensive program consisting of good ol' fashioned talk therapy, OCD therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and medication management. The intensive has been life changing, but it wasn't until adding neurofeedback to the mix that I could implement all the new tools and skills I learned. Neurofeedback was the missing puzzle piece, and I couldn't imagine doing it anywhere other than BPC.

First off, they should be charging a million dollars a session. Having said that, I wasn't working at the time and couldn't commit to full treatment, so I was able to go on a payment plan. Their generosity doesn't stop here. You pay for 20 sessions, they throw in an extra 10 for good measure, and if you don't see significant results after 30, they will offer an unlimited amount of neurofeedback sessions until your brain map shows healthy activity. This genuine care in the well-being of their clients vs. seeing only dollar signs is too rare these days.

Needless to say, I highly recommend BPC and neurofeedback. It didn't make my problems disappear (nothing can), but it got my brain firing at the healthy level to tackle life's woes, come what may.
