Mark Steinberg, Ph.D. and Associates - Walnut Creek

I have been coming here for approx 1.5 years for treatment. For the first time in 25 years I quit chewing tobacco feel more in control with life choices impulses and overall well being .

Ive had a pleasant experience with neurofeedback. I have noticed that it has become easier for me to bring down high emotions quicker. My sleep has improved and so has my ability to focus on tasks. I highly recommend neurofeedback to those who are considering it

I have been very pleased with my experience here Ive done approximately 20 sessions so far and Ive notice as improvement in my focus. I feel like I can control my ADHD to focus on certain subject even if I dont feel interested in them. I am having an easier time maintaining my focus for longer durations as well. My sleep has been improving as well. It takes me less time to fall asleep now. I just started the alpha theta TX and after the first session I noticed a big improvement over my stress levels. After the session it felt as it a weight had been lifted off to me. Im looking forward to seeing how Im feeling after I finish all of the sessions. Im also pleased with the staff here Everyone is very kind warm and friendly. Easy to talk to as well. Mark Stienberg seems very knowledgeable and caring Ive had 2 sessions with him and I feel like he listens and responds very well.

When I first started I was somewhat skeptical as I had never heard of this form of treatment. However just a few sessions in I began to feel results. It started out with small changes such as feeling more relaxed in social settings or having less anticipation of upcoming social events. As I did more and more sessions and began to see bigger changes and began putting myself into situations that would have given me much more anxiety in the past. I would definitely say that the sessions have helped me with my anxiety while also improving other aspects of my life.

This man is one of the most unprofessional people Ive ever encountered. When I needed help he yelled at me. Dont recommend going to him at all. Its more about the money than anything.

I find the appointments to be very relaxing because I have to sit and enjoy a movie. The therapy demands it. And while relaxing I can say NO to thoughts that say I am being lazy and unproductive because I really am not. I am taking part in the self-care and therapy I need to improve my mental health. This time of therapy which is also calming and relaxing will directly lead to the productivity and wellness I need and want. My appointments are stress free. All the staff therapist are very attentive soothing and kind. I wish the therapy lasted longer The time of relaxation is a therapy in and of itself.

I was very disappointed in this practitioners approach to his business practices - which in my opinion heavily revolved around money. Instead of having his receptionists give me intake forms to fill out in advance he used his time for assessment to ask me inane things like my address phone number supplements used etc. For this he was charging me 200 for each half hour of his time So half of the 25 minutes he spent was spent filling out information that should have been done by email or by the receptionist and the other half was in telling me what I already knew about my condition.Then an unprepared technician took up 15 minutes getting reading for a computer program that should have been already set to go. This all took so long that I had to leave for another appointment since I live over an hour away. When I requested a refund for the half of the initial visit I was unable to complete he refused and said we had a contract which we didnt have. He charged my card the full amount in advance which was shocking leaving him in control of any modifications of charges based upon extenuating circumstances. He was inflexible and inconsiderate of my time which was ticking off dollars by the minute. I explained that unexpected traffic would make a long trek too much longer to make it worth it to continue at his office. He was unmoved by my predicament and refused a partial refund.By his contract he owed me another 20 minutes of his time for an evaluation that neither of us would benefit from but instead he spent a little over 5 minutes on the phone with me reporting the results. So 600 down the drainIm disappointed also in myself for not doing more checking before agreeing to the appointment which was the next day after we spoke and the cancellation policy was enforceable.

I came to see Dr. Steinberg after witnessing remarkable changes in my granddaughters behavior following her treatment with EEG Neurofeedback and Voice Technology from Dr. Steinber. Seeing the positive impact it had on her I decided to try EEG Neurofeedback myself as I was going through a challenging period of anger frustration stress and anxiety in my life.From the very first consultation and session I felt a significant difference. Dr. Steingber took his time to understand my concerns and was incredibly compassionate empathetic and generous throughout the process. His deep knowledge and expertise really stood out and I felt and still feel supported every step of the way. His staff is also wonderful always polite respectful and attentive.I highly recommend Dr. Steinberg and his practice to anyone looking for a professional caring and effective approach to emotional and psychological well-being.

I was referred to Dr. Steinberg in the fall of 2022 for neurofeedback sessions. I was struggling with pandemic-related issues severe depression anxiety and obsessive thoughts of impending doom triggering my childhood trauma. The sessions prepared me to handle two deaths in my family at the end of 2022. I continued with more sessions in 2023. I felt renewed and on purpose again I highly recommend this clinic as the results speak for themselves

I had spoken to Mr Steinberg over the phone one day inquiring about his services. At first he was nice but when we get to the part to make an appointment he suddenly just snapped and said Look Im a doctor and Im very busy . It was when I was trying to figure out a day to schedule my appointment but unable to quickly. I work nights so I consider my off days unable to drive so I cant make any plans on those days too but I guess he got irritated with that. I was really caught off guard that I immediately said Im just gonna call back and hang up. I got really upset that it made me cry after hanging up. I understand that people may have bad days but if your profession is to help people with anxiety and depression you shouldnt be as rude and irritable as this doctor acted. That day I was desperate and I wanted help for me and my son and unfortunately he answered the phone that day and ruined my day. I wouldnt go to him for treatment. Hes acting really nice on TV but his main concern is not about you hes concern is if you can pay. It happened awhile back. Just remembered it again today that I decided to write this so people will know what kind of a doctor he is. One action says it all.
