I have so much energy now, its completely fascinating. I have been training with Dr. Andrew Hill since 2015 and I have never felt this much clarity in my life. I grew up having panic attacks and wondering why I have anxiety because logically it did not make sense. I had tried neurofeedback at another clinic in 2012 but I felt like it was a waste of time. I heard Andrew on a podcast and wanted to know what he saw on a QEEG scan.  He immediately recognized the source of all my problems and it has been the most wonderful adventure seeing and feeling my brain evolve ever since. I have all day focus now, I don't crave for naps like I used to, and I have become bored with weed and alcohol. I used to want to stay up late and dreaded the grueling day ahead, but now I look forward to feeling completely rested and approaching all situations with an even keel from the moment I wake up.  The most incredible difference I have noticed is how comfortable I am in social situations now. I used to panic when meeting new people, but now I am excited to learn about everyone elses perspective and style and approach to life. Music has a special place in my heart and I enjoy listening and playing guitar like never before. I also play tennis and the mind body connection in a match is now a challenge I am willing to endure and enjoy.  I appreciate and thank all the techs like Andrei, Jon, and Brian at Peak Brain for their help and making me feel like I already have a crystal clear brain every time I walk in. I give all thanks and credit to Peak Brain and Andrew Hill, for my wonderful transformation and tremendous guidance in my life.  Everyone can benefit from getting a brain scan, whether it be for sleep, focus or mental clarity. It is definitely worth a try. read more

Run away! Don't ever fall for this company's lies. They take advantage of vulnerable people and make a profit. They gave me a session for anxiety, but it made my anxiety much worse than it was before the session. The side effects were so bad that they lasted 33 days. I was literally going crazy and suffered immensely. I've done many sessions most of them causing side effects or made me feel worse. The latest session built up in my system like crazy. The protocol we were doing is called the Fz Pz protocol, which is supposed to help with anxiety. Somehow, it made my anxiety 100 times worse and had me stimulated, activated, agitated, and wired for 33 days. I felt like I had a helicopter inside my head, wings crushing through my brain. I've suffered enough. I officially stopped all protocols. It's been enough. I didn't get good results, and I don't believe anything they say anymore. The ADHD sessions also caused a lot of side effects that's why I haven't been able to drive on the freeway since 2024. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Don't fall for their science. Don't believe their brain maps. I think it's all nonsense and experimental stuff. It might make you better here and there, but it can make other things way worst. They get you stuck in a loop so you have to keep coming back and paying for things they made worse during a session. When I first started they promised and quoted me 30-40 sessions but somehow I ended up doing way more. After what I experienced in the last couple of years, and especially what happened to me for those 33 days, I'm done. read more

Oh my God, the most amazing update for you regarding Peak Brain, now they have to develop the technologies so that you can do the training remotely! that means that they send you all the stuff that you need and you can do the training from home!! This is an absolute game changer for anyone but especially for me because I do not drive and I am on Social Security so I don't have the money to pay for an Uber to get there and back every time I want to train which you're supposed to do a few times a week every week for a couple months in order to complete a treatment session. In addition, I get chronic migraines so that limited my ability to go into the store in order to do training. But now that I can do it from my couch the whole experience is completely different! I can do it whenever I want at my own free time when I'm not sick and for free! I've already done about a month of training and while it does take a few sessions to learn how to put the electrodes on the different parts of your brain that need access there are staff members to help you at every return. The first six or so sessions are done over zoom so that they can help you from beginning to end and you can learn how to do everything on your own and then from there on out, they have a communication app with your own channel so that you can communicate with not only staff, but the main doctor, Dr. Hill anytime of the day seven days a week. They are always there to support and help you in anyway that you need and I was even able to do my updated brain map at home as well! So I can literally do all the treatment from home without ever leaving my house! I find that the treatment has been so much more effective as a result because I can do the treatment way more often and that is needed in order for long-term success! If going to and from the Brian water store was stopping you from trying Nero feedback ever before then now is your time to try it because you have no more excuses. Peak Brain makes it perfectly simple and accessible to do remotely from home or anywhere else you want it is done from a laptop computer that they provide with all of the equipment necessary And Support. Go check out the website and see if Neuro feedback is right for you getting in contact with Dr. Hill he is the absolute best, most intelligent, creative and compassionate man I have ever met that. Just also happens to be a neuroscientist and an expert in neural feedback. I will write more at the end of this treatment session to let you know about my results! Good luck! read more

I highly recommend Peak Brain Institute. This support changed my life. I am able to think much more clearly now. Dr. Hill is very knowledgable. The Costa Mesa staff is professional and pleasant. My family's schedule is packed, so I really appreciated their flexibiity. I also appreciated the ability to train at home or at the office. read more

This place wasn't at all what I was expecting. It doesn't look like the pictures on Yelp. Since the technology seems cutting-edge and it costs a lot of $$$, I guess I assumed a certain level of professionalism and cleanliness. Instead, it feels like a dump. The office is dirty. When I got there, I used the restroom and it was gross - like what you'd expect from a gas station bathroom. Then, I sat in a room with a curtain that had white stains all over it - like what you see on CSI when they get out a blue light in a hotel room. Except you could see all these stains with no special light. The actual tests you do seem unorganized as well. I took an attention test where there are audio prompts and the volume wasn't working. Then, I did the QEEG evaluation and it took 4 employees to figure out how to put the cap on me and gel it. The whole thing felt like amateur hour. But really the weirdest part was the bizarre way I was treated. I just wanted someone to talk to me like a human and explain all the cool stuff they were doing. But no one talked to me. There would be 3 people in the room with me and they spent the whole time talking to each other about me, instead of to me. This meant I had no instructions or any idea what was going on. Instead of talking to me directly, they'd talk to each other and say "Aren't they supposed to close their eyes for this part?" I'm sitting right there, just talk to me if you want me to close my eyes! Since I had no instructions, they would often leave me hanging in an uncomfortable state. I'd be asked to stare at a point on the wall, but then they'd forget about me. 15 mins later "Ok, now we need her to start staring at the wall..." Like, I could have been relaxing that whole time and *now* you need me to focus on the wall? During the actual QEEG, which I assume was supposed to be quiet (I don't know, because no one talked to me about what we were doing) they would get out their phones and loudly text about 4 inches from my face. In any setting that would be annoying - but when you're doing this test, it's insanely distracting and unprofessional. In addition to being in a cramped room with several people, there was an employee's dog in there with us. The dog was cute and definitely the best part of my visit there - but it just added to the weird, unprofessional vibe of the whole place to have this dog in the room, chewing stuff and barking at one point. I never completed my QEEG because after several tries, they couldn't get the equipment to work. They all seemed baffled by this. Was I their first QEEG? It only added to this group's lack of credibility that no one really seemed to know what they were doing. They told me they'd have Dr. Hill follow up with me, but then an hour after leaving I got an email alert that my call with him had been cancelled. Overall, the whole place feels unprofessional. The people there seem nice enough, but the way they run these tests and the office is just really bizarre. Going to check out other neurofeedback centers instead. read more

Dr. Hill is very knowledgeable and is one of the best in neurofeedback field. I trained on and off since 2019.

Great experience here! I just came in today to get my brain mapping done. Was impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff here. Made it very easy to relax and clear my mind while my brain waves were being read. Brian and Monica did a fantastic job with answering any questions I had about the procedures. Quick and simple. Excited to see the results! Thanks guys! read more

I have come to peak brain hoping to find aid while tapering off my antidepressant. This place literally saved my life from panic attacks and anxiety I've been suffering from for many years. My life was hell suffering each and every day from these mood disorders. After doing sessions with peak brain, it has changed my life entirely. All the staff is extremely helpful at all times and it feels like there is tremendous support the staff provides to achieve your goal and need. Dr.Hill is also always on top of your condition and he is always there to answer your question in a timely manner. I am sincerely so grateful for peak brain and their amazing service which gave me second chance in life. I just can't thank enough to each and everyone at peak brain for helping me to live my life without anxiety and panic attack! read more

I would say one of the best places in the world to get neurofeedback. Dr. Andrew Hill is THE neurofeedback expert and highly respected in this field. He is also caring, and reachable. I watched a lot Dr Hill's podcasts on youtube , and made sure I wanted to work with a neuroscientist not some person/psychologist who was trained to run a neurofeedback rig. I was having issues with anxiety and not sleeping. Previous to Peak Brain, I worked with a Neurofeedback trainer shop who was a Psychologist and had no idea what they were doing. In-fact they made thing worse for me and when I spoke-up that things were not going in the right direction, I was ignored. Then I found Peak Brain Institute and watched at least 10-20 videos of Dr.Hill talking about neurofeedback and came to realize, Okay this guy knows what he is talking about! I started neurofeeback here and in 2 months I has significant improvements in anxiety and stress and feel like my normal self. For me, there was some back and forth to find the right protocals, so don't get discouraged if the 1st protocol isn't what you wanted. It takes a few before they find something you like. When I felt negative side-effects of certain protocols, like sleep, mood, stress I would speak up in my surveys or in person, and Dr.Hill would adjust the protocols. In-fact speaking up is encouraged. Peak brain is more like a gym than a doctor's office, you are a client not patient and so choose what cognitive functions you want to improve. If you are coming in for cognitive issue not performance training, it can take 1-2 months to make very noticeable changes. Try the alpha theta if you really want to experience a strong neurofeedback protocol. When I tried it for the first time, I was blown away. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. I still come in sometimes if I want a calming protocol or wanna work on performance stuff. Thank you to Peak Brain Institute for helping me return to my normal self. read more

I couldn't be more impressed with the results I have had from training at Peak Brain for the past four years. After trying 5 neurofeedback practitioners without results, I did some research and came across Dr. Hill's work. He is clearly at the forefront of his field, and my experience working with him and his staff is a reflection of that. Dr. Hill is directly involved with assessing each individual's needs through a brain map (QEEG), quantitative testing, and a thorough intake. He then designs brain training protocols based on this. Additionally, he's a great guy - incredibly caring and accessible. The pricing is fair, the staff is incredible, and the results are greater than I could have imagined. read more

I decided to do some research on the attention problems I had for a long time and found heavy metals from vaccines to be the cause. I came to Peak for a neurofeedback consultation. Dr. Hill verbally attacked me. He is a big believer in vaccines, and was not familiar with vaccine risks, side effects, or the CDC fraud. He was so unprofessional. He has a very volatile personality. I ended up going somewhere else and had a much better experience. read more

Simply life-changing! The team and Dr. Andrew Hill have become friends over the months of Neurofeedback sessions that ultimately erased years of abuse in Tech- not sleeping much, a lot of coffee and stress which Andrew clearly called out in the review of my initial brain map on week 1. The data was obviously showing some patterns explaining my degraded sleeping patterns and also other over-revving issues, coffee sensitivity and late day brain fog, Net, my brain was not working at its peak performance. The differentiator for Brain Peak is the data and Andrew's ability to interpret the data to recommend tri-weekly protocols that over time rebooted my brain to where it should be. I felt it and the data confirmed it. I had done my research before going to Brain Peak and decided that cookie-cutter approaches using software that have guide rails and protocols built-in so non-Neuro expert can administer in a therapy clinic was not what I wanted especially when any other approaches do not start with a QEEG baseline bran map which means you really never know objectively if you are improving and when you are close to reaching your goal. Net, Andrew is a master at what he does, and anyone should consider an initial brain map done, which requires only 15 minutes of your time, which enables Andrew to review if Neurofeedback can help you with: low sleep quality, anxiety, brain fog, focus, etc when you notice a certain change from years ago. This brain map can me had a reduced price so facts can be reviewed- mention my name to get a discount... In terms of the process, it is like going to the gym 3 times/week for sessions of 20 minutes. On average, most will benefit from a total of 3 months of neurofeedback training to meet their goals and will not require coming back as this will be lasting change - yes the brain is neuroplastic and can change and stay in that state. I personally felt a big shift after session 19 or week 6 and the check-in brain map confirmed the change. Over time, you are able to get multiple brain maps done maybe once per month and track your progress. A training session at first feels weird as you just have to sit in front of a TV screen and view/Play a video game of your chosen fro 20 minutes. What is weird at first is that you do not have a joystick in your hands... your brain is connected to the computer and when the goal of the session is met, a beeping sound is the reward for your brain. Net, driving the race car, flying a plane or PacMan are controlled by whether your brain is withing the target brain wave range for each session. Less about the "how" but more about the "what" in terms of benefit. If you have any doubt about something bothering you in terms of change in sleeping quality and length, your capacity to deal with stress, how sharp you feel all day or any brain fog, ADD, this is the place to get the answer and more importantly get it resolved/reversed. read more

Peak Brain Institute - Getting ready for another brain map (QEEG) reading. 5 minutes eyes closed and 5 minutes eyes open and that is it... - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Culver City, California

See all

I popped in for a QEEG evaluation and I found the results and advice very helpful. They helped me figure out what I need to focus on to improve my concentration. The evaluation definitely identified some focus areas that I wasn't aware of as a problem, but after discussing some of the examples I now understand I need to work on those areas too. I will definitely stop in again. read more

Very cool information! I enjoy learning about myself and steps I can take to optimize my life. Peak Brain gave me a look at my brain waves and some tips to improve my brain function. read more

This place is either a scam, or heartless. They told me I had brain damage and seizures, which an MRI from my neurologist had not shown, and then for months refused to give me a copy of my results to show my neurologist. I was patient for a long time but got fed up. They never gave me a copy of anything and just started ignoring me when I would beg them. I was scared for my health because I have been chronically ill for years with nerve problems, but they just wanted to tell me everything could be solved by neurofeedback when I had no idea what the cause of my alleged brain damage could be. (Get this: He kept insisting I must have fallen out of bed and not remembered it. That's literally impossible as my bedroom is so small that the walls are on both sides of my bed!) I could tell they didn't care about anything I said because I hadn't immediately thrown thousands of dollars at them for their scam treatment. They know you have no legal recourse because the guy who runs it is not an MD, so he does not have a license, so you can't complain to the medical licensing board or anything when they are negligent. You have no legal way to get a copy of your results because it doesn't count as a real medical record. When I asked around several people told me it was not possible to see the issues on a qEEG that he claimed to have seen, and that they probably didn't want to give me my results because my neurologist would immediately recognize it was BS. One medical professional who specializes in brain issues told me that even if I had brought the scan to my neurologist she likely would not have taken it seriously because it's pseudoscience. Also, if you run this Yelp page through FakeSpot, they're rated a C for having some fake reviews. Can't say I'm surprised. read more

Peak Brain is the best! Beautiful, peaceful facility, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful service. I've been working with PB to treat ADHD and have noticed marked improvement in attention and overall function. Dr. Hill is amazing! read more

I've tried just about everything to help with my anxiety for the past 15 years, from therapy to medication with little results. After doing some research, I found Peak Brain and decided to give them a try. So happy I did! The staff are very knowledgeable and professional, the office is clean, they give you great coffee and a blanket during sessions, and the results work! They listened to my concerns and I got a treatment plan specialized to my needs (rather than the cookie cutter CBT therapy I had elsewhere). Dr. Hill is so passionate about his work and helping his clients. Most importantly, I'm seeing great strides in overcoming my anxiety and I'm even sleeping better. :) read more

Great staff, very pleasant environment. I felt very comfortable and welcome, overall a fantastic experience!

Interested in alternative methods to help reduce my anxiety and increase my ability to focus I came here for a Quantitative EEG followed by a neurofeedback session with Jessica. She was very informative and thoroughly explained each step of the process. Going over my QEEG results with Dr. Hill was also very eye-opening, he took his time to discuss my maps and the actionable steps we could take to improve on my goals. All in all, it was a great experience. read more

I always feel amazing after I leave Peak Brain. What a find!!!! Andrew and his expert team of techs offer such a valuable experience to help improve brain health. Its inspiring witnessing the transformation of patients with conditions varying from Parkinsons to Autism to brain trauma from car accidents to enhanced studying and work performance, etc. I feel very fortunate to live in Los Angeles where I can take advantage of this treatment. Thank you, Andrew, Enrique and Lacy for brightening my day! read more

I received neurofeedback from Dr. Hill about a year ago, and it has positively changed my life PROFOUNDLY!!! I went in as a "peak performer" client -- meaning, I had no classifiable or concrete issues or problems, I just wanted to get an extra edge and be even better, smarter, etc. The results are exactly that! I think more sharply, I find that my speech is more eloquent, I think more quickly. And thinking more quickly is like getting more time in every day. Most interestingly, I've become a MUCH better musician. It's like a switch flipped and my musical skills suddenly turbo'd to the next level. Neurofeedback is a phenomenal gift to give yourself, it's self-improvement in its most concrete form. It doesn't hurt either that Dr. Hill is basically the best in the biz. Peak Brain is the place to go! read more

I'm a big believer in neurofeedback and Dr. Hill is a truly gifted practitioner. His neurofeedback has dramatically helped my husband, me and our son who's 6 years old with numerous issues relating to anxiety, impulsivity/innattention, headaches and sleep. It's noninvasive, easy and fun even for my son. read more

Dr. Hill is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and beyond incredible at what he does. I just wanted to report that I'm feeling amazing, much more focused and sharper. Also much less impulsively reactive in just one session! I'm in tears w excitement and joy! Thank you so much for your incredible help Dr.Hill! read more
