Reviews of Elumind Centres For Brain Excellence (Psychiatrist)

Tracey Hirsch

Seven months ago my then 15-year-old son went off his ADHD meds. While the negative side effects of the stimulant meds disappeared within a few days, the “noise in his head“ from ADHD got worse. We sought neurofeedback from Elumind as a non-medicinal approach to managing his ADHD. After the initial brain map, Dr Edalati developed a protocol of about 100 neurofeedback sessions for my son. (More than the average 30-40 sessions, but such was the need for my son.) The results are nothing short of profound. He’s much happier, more confident, more resilient and more capable in all aspects of his life. He has a broader circle of friends and an expanded social life. And the noise in his head is gone. Gone. It sounds like a miracle and some days it feels like that. But it’s not a miracle. It’s science. Science that works. My son, husband and I are so grateful to have found Elumind. The team is warm and friendly and their treatment program for my son has changed his life. He is thriving.

Last year through Trauma I had severe nerve pain in my foot 24/7 even in my sleep for eight month. I had all kinds of tests done but no Doctor had a clue how to help me. Until I saw Dr.Edalati and Akbar Safari the Clinical Counsellor at the Elumind Center ! I got a brain map done and further treatments with Neurofeedback and Therapy. After several month I am so happy that it worked . Now I am 100% pain free . Thanks to Dr. Edalati , Akbar and everyone on the Elumind team. They are so professional, super friendly and careing. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you are the Best . You gave me my quality of Life back. Sincerely Hilde H. a

I met Dr. Edalati about two years ago and I couldn't be happier with my visit and the results. Since then Dr. Edalati spent a lot of time discussing my concerns, and educating me on the various options I had I am really happy with his recommendation to start Neurofeedback. I believe all of us need to have Neroufeedback sessions to improve our brain performance. I am very satisfied with my results and highly recommend this office!

My son had a concussion playing soccer and even after staying off the field he continued having difficulties with dizzy spells, mood swings and occasional nausea. He was treated at the clinic with neurofeedback and he has been free of symptoms ever since. We recommend Elumind if you have a similar problem.

Outstanding people work here and I got help with my chronic pain using their neurofeedback. They educate you first so you know what you are dealing with, then they deal with the issue. Great job!

Absolutely top notch centre! The team at Elumind helped me in the most professional and compassionate way to heal my migraines. They walk you through all the steps from the beginning as if you are their family member. I was very impressed by their level of care. Highly recommend them!

My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and clinical depression at the age of 10 and have gone thru therapy ever since. Last year though was a turning point for our family as we saw our now 16 year old daughter at her worst emotional and mental state, her anxiety and depression worsened so much that she urgently required help from a very strong medical support team. She was seen by a known psychiatrist and prescribed meds that we didn’t find very effective and underwent extensive DBT therapy under the care of one of Vancouver’s top psychologists. Her state improved somewhat with therapy but we didn’t see any massive change in her moods, outlook in life as her mood swings then were still difficult to manage, her anxiety and depression still very apparent in how she dealt with her social life and relationships with family and friends. We reached a point when my daughter blamed all her struggles on me and my family and even refused to have any sort of relationship with us. As a mother, I was beyond heartbroken knowing how much anger my daughter holds in her heart and felt hopeless and wondered if our lives could go any better. Then came in Elumind. I decided to explore neurofeedback upon the recommendation of my daughter’s therapist. I have not heard of it and came to know about Elumind only after searching for neurofeedback centers near us and I must say enlisting their help was the best decision we ever made. I was in awe of their brain mapping technology as I didn’t know it could at all be possible for us to definitively know what my daughter’s struggles were, and with the brain map results we finally did. Dr. Edalati explained to us at length how neurofeedback works and informed us exactly what’s wrong with our daughter and the areas we must focus on for her to be more stable. He went over and above for us, as the advices and guidance he provided us helped us a great deal to manage this journey with our daughter. He and his team are beyond spectacular, as they always treated us with such kindness and understanding and we could not have asked for anything more. Our daughter completed more than the standard number of neurofeedback sessions as that was how complex her case was but seeing my daughter back, seeing her smile and laugh again, hearing her utter the words “I love you”, “I am sorry”, “Thank you” definitely made the time and money we invested on neurofeedback so worth it. I know her therapy and supplements contributed as well to her recovery but I believe neurofeedback was truly the game changer for us. Thank you so much, Dr. Edalati and Elumind team, for everything! May you continue to make a difference in this world and bring individuals like my daughter and their families joy and hope again, so they finally can start living a life worth living.

Dr Edalati is brilliant. He helped me so much with my mental health and getting my life on the right track. The neurofeedback therapy made a huge difference in my life, with anxiety, depression and ADD. Truly grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Jenny Salvatierra

Elumind Centres for Brain is an excellent facility. I brought both my kids for a six month treatment of Neurofeedback for their anxiety and depression. The change I have seen in them is truly incredible. Dr. Edalati, technicians and staff are amazing! They are really there for you and your loved ones. I would recommend this program to anyone.

Robert Wiebenstadt

For ADHD treatment, we would not recommend anyone else, but Dr. Edalati and the Elumind team. Our son had developed a low self-esteem for being isolated by both his peers and his teacher as he had multiple behavioural issues at school. We tried stimulants such as Vyvanse and Concerta, but had to stop them due to side effects despite some benefits. Dr. Edalati diligently went through the options and we chose neurofeedback. After 35 sessions, his symptoms were 60-70% better. After our son, my wife got neurofeedback for anxiety for 40 sessions and she got so much better that she no longer has difficulty speaking in public. If you have never tried neurofeedfback, try it. I was skeptical at first, but results at Elumnd convinced me otherwise.

The best decision I've ever made, was to begin neurofeedback treatments at Elumind. The staff are incredible, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The treatments have given me my life back, and I wish I had found them sooner. If you are on the fence, I recommend that you give it a try.

Geraldine Di Cicco

After my experience having Neurofeedback at Elumind I feel like my mind is clearer and I feel calmer and more organized. The staff were fantastic — they were friendly, professional, punctual. Overall, my experience here felt so comfortable and everyone was so kind! Definitely would recommend.

Tobias Friedlander

I went to the clinic for anxiety and worries last year. Their approach to anxiety is the only one so far that I have found to cover everything related to anxiety. The staff at Elumind were friendly and professional and I felt like a person with a unique story rather than just another patient. I used their neurofeedback and nutrition services as well as counselling and that helped me turn around my life. Thank you again to Elumind for your help.

Our daughter suffers from autism. Our friends referred us to Elumind and Dr. Edalati's team for treatment. We had done ABA for her along with medications and social skills groups, which had all helped immensely, but we felt something was missing. We did our research on neurofeedback and we decided to do a QEEG brain map on our daughter. We were amazed at how detailed the EEG analysis at Elumind was and even more impressive was the neurofeedback treatment that has turned our daughter around. Thumbs up!!

Juliette Savard

These guys genuinely care for your wellbeing and you are treated with dignity every step of the way at this place. For the first time, I had a decrease in how frequently I felt depressed and also I did not feel as low as I had felt in the past. At Elumind they recommended a combination of neurofeedback, nutrition and counselling along with my medications and this did wonders for me. Thank you!

Was waiting for their site to go up so that I can share my 5 cents about them. Last year, I was overweight by 60lbs and recently had been diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I went to see Dr. Edalati based on my friend's recommendation for nutrition advice and my battle with depression. He helped me understand the connection between my mind and my body and how I eat because of my feelings. Since seeing him, I have lost 45lbs because I don't eat anymore when I am depressed. Really good folks at Elumind with Dr. Edalati as their guide. They care about you as a person, they are super professional and they help you become more aware of causes of your struggles. Don't take my word for it, go and see them and experience it yourself!

Sandra Jovanovic

Friendly and super competent. I used to play competitive sports and had multiple concussions that over time made me anxious and unable to focus at work. This got worse with time. The staff at Elumind did a brain map and then put me on neurofeedback. The neurofeedback helped me feel calmer and allowed me to carry out my job as a bookkeeper. I would rate them really highly.

Reihaneh

We are glad to have come across Elumind, for their neurofeedback treatment. It helped my son with his focus and confidence. He's become more proficient at problem solving and very calm during the day. Doctor Edalati and his hard working team were very helpful and informative. We are very grateful for the wonderful results, and the staff's kindness.

I had been suffering from depression for a long time and I had seen many counsellors sometimes with OK results and sometimes without much success. Based on a friend's recommendation I went to Elumind for counselling despite my reservations about counselling. For the first time, I learnt that my depression was a symptom of childhood trauma and that I needed to treat my trauma first before my depression cleared. They helped me not only to clear my trauma, but also they supported me in getting rid of my depressive feelings. I would rate them as simply brilliant when it comes to counselling.
