The Monterey Center

I could not express how grateful I am that I found the Monterey Center. I have been going to therapy on and off for the past 5 years and none of them have impacted me as much as the biofeedback therapy with Valerie and Ron. Everyday I see more and more positive effects in my life and how I view the world, it saved me to say the least.
Whatever your story is, I highly recommend you give the Monterey Center a shot. They have so much more to offer then simply «talking about your feelings or past heartaches». If the reviews that you’re reading here aren’t enough to convince you, go ahead and give them a call and go in for a consultation or introductory session, I dare you.

It’s taken me a long time to get my review together for the Monterey Center. I am still seeing the positive effects change my life. So in other words — this center is lifesaving, No. It is more than that, it is soul saving. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety after a terrible break up when I reached out to them. I didn’t want to see traditional therapists because I’d already been down that route. It is a long process which usually included prescription medication for depression. I wanted to function on my own and regain my power.
I talked with Valerie and Ron one afternoon late December. I decided to enroll in the Sunshine Primary plus Neuro Feedback package. It is a combination of biofeedback and neuro feedback therapy. Ron was a wonderful counselor. Had so much empathy. He guided me through the process with patience and understanding. I love the environment the center has, too. It doesn’t feel clinical, you feel like an equal and treated with respect for whatever you’re looking to resolve in your life. Ron also helped me understand how my brain functions-​which was ground breaking. Once I understood my neurological makeup it became another tool for self-​discovery. Ron’s counseling was enlightening. I’ve so many new tools to help me through life and I couldn’t have done it without him.
Needless to say this helped me past more than a bad break up, it’s transformed my life. Since I’ve gone through the therapy, I trust in myself more, I am better with boundaries, I feel un-​caged. It took a moment to balance all this new found freedom and am still in process. There is a lot of work I’ve done getting past some conditioning, eliminating unhealthy relationships, improving ones that needed my attention. There is a lot of elimination that happens, but it’s balanced with growth. It’s guided me to live a more purposeful life, based on who I naturally am, with integrity.
Their Designing Success class helps me a lot too. They’re a center that works WITH you instead of assessing you to figure out «what’s wrong.» I am really thankful for them.
Thank you Valerie and Ron!

I have Fribomaglia & struggle with a lot of pain, and recently I start a new workout program so I have being super sore and with pain.
Today Valerie gave me a session on the MRS 2000 Mat. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Frequency (PEMF)
Initially, this technology was only available for the most «expensive» bodies on the planet: astronauts and racehorses, but it is now available at The Monterey Center of Alameda #TMC.
It’s amazing how much it helped me with the pain and soreness. I recommend it to everyone who needs a little boost or to get rid of chronic pain.
This is only one of the amazing things the Monterey Center of Alameda can do for you to help you reach a better life. They have been my life savers. Since I started going to TMC I been having so many accomplishments. My life keeps getting better and better!!!

First, let me say how impressed and pleased I am at having discovered the Monterey Center of Alameda.
I grew up in a family with a history of repressed guilt, anger, and depression. After a lifetime of seeking relief through diet, meditation, and more than six years of psychotherapy – including anti-​bipolar medication – I came to the Monterey Center.
It was apparent from the beginning that I’d found what I’d been looking for, and it’s been a wonderful turning point in my life. At last, there’s change I can feel – change that my wife and friends actually notice. My wife says, «You’re so much easier to get along with.» and my boss says, «You’re more relaxed.» For my part, I feel a new, ever-​present sense of peace – and also compassion. Compassion for myself, and for others. I find that now it permeates all my relationships – with my work colleagues, my family, on the road, and everywhere I go.
From the very first session, and in every session since, there’s been steady, significant, incremental improvement in my outlook and in my condition. I’ve experienced release from trapped negative emotions, feel renewed enthusiasm, and gained far-​reaching insights into my own behavior and the behavior of others.
The people at the Monterey center don’t set themselves up as gurus, wizards, or magicians. You’ll soon come to know them as normal people. Valerie and Ron’s dedication is impressive, heartwarming, and inspiring. These are serious professionals on a mission to improve people’s lives, to stay thoroughly educated and skilled in the use of proven methods, and to make a real difference in the world. There’s nothing haphazard, wishy-​washy, or hocus-​pocus about the techniques they employ. Yet, underlying their professionalism they are sensitive, good-​humored, fun loving, honest, and charming. They’re not out to alter your beliefs, make you a clone, or change who you are – only to free up your inner self so you can live more joyfully and fully.
These guys are the real deal. I’m delighted to recommend the Monterey Center to anyone who’s looking to improve their life and make lasting, noticeable change for the better.

The Monterey Center is a wonderful place to get your life together. They are all wonderful people and will help you every step of the way with your recovery. They will work with your schedule and help you to create the life you are longing to live.
Valerie is very kind and the center reflects her positive attitude. The entire crew is top notch!!! I highly recommend going to the Monterey center to handle any problem you are having in life. A+:)
