Words cannot begin to express the experience and compassion this whole team brings to the table. They have set the bar on what help looks like and should be. I’ve been a firefighter and paramedic for over 15 years. They helped me when I needed it most and through this treatment helped me identify trauma I didn’t know I carried. The whole team approach from therapy to biofeedback and their outreach with the fire and EMS community is second to none. Thank you for helping me! I highly recommend anyone come to Better Minds. Using the latest technology mixed with experience they build treatment for the individual. At no point was it awkward. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and over all they will help you to be better.

I started going to the Better Minds Group in August of 2024. I started Biofeedback right away and it has changed my life. After doing the screening it was determined that I do Neuroptimal® and after a handful of sessions it has truly changed my life. Traditional talk therapy can be hard for people and with the biofeedback, you don't have to talk about it. There is no other time in my week that I don't have some sort of break from the world around me. My temper is less, my anxiety is less, and my ability to cope is more. I don't bite my fingernails and I don't lose my cool with my two small children as often. Dr. Barkett and his team are outstanding. They are warm, funny, and caring. Not only has the biofeedback changed me, but they have too. I worked in the fire service for years, and during that time I saw some really uncomfortable things. Things that we don't think continue to mess with our daily lives but I am here to tell you that they do. And through biofeedback I have been able to heal the things I didn't consciously know were still hurting. I'm rambling at this point but words aren't seeming to do it justice. Give it a try. Seriously.

"I came to Dr. Barkett less than a year ago after years of cognitive behavioral therapy with various therapists to deal with depression. I was frustrated and not getting better. In less than a year, Dr. Barkett has guided me to understand and resolve the depression, uncover the cause of the depression which had been repressed all my life, and now deal with the issue so that I can begin to find happiness and contentment in my life. I’m a work in progress but with the incredible skills and compassion of Dr. Barkett, I now have goals and a plan for my future. I have been consistently able to see improvement in my brain’s ability to slow down the out of control thoughts, focus better on the work that needs done, and transition to positive thoughts. Each session has been an opportunity for growth and discovery."
