John R. Galaska, PsyD at BeCalmofOjai: Neurofeedback & Hypnother

Dr. John is a great human being who is compassionate about what he does and his concern for his patients. His therapy is effective and practical. I highly recommend him to you and your family.

I found Dr. John after learning about neurofeedback from Bessel Van Der Kolk who thinks neurofeedback is the first thing to do for dysregulated people. Dr. John was the closest person I could find so I make the 7 hour drive each week. Not only am I learning to increase my calm focus brain waves but Dr. John also teaches us resonant breathing to increase vagal tone which has minimized my heart fibrillations since the vagus nerve controls the heart. During our first neurofeedback session we did theta alpha waves with hypnotic suggestions and those suggestions have been extraordinarily effective in my day to day life. Plus Dr. John is also the kindest person who is deeply informed about neuroscience, neurobiology and neurophysiology so you and your loved ones are in safe and capable hands.

Dr. John Galaska is has truly been a gift for me and my nervous system!! He is a salt of the earth kind of man, who has tremendous compassion for others, and he is so humble and brilliant at the same time. I love his confidence and in depth knowledge of Neurofeedback. I have never met such a well rounded therapist who is the entire package!!

Dr Galaska is an extremely gifted psychotherapist. His innate ability to hone in on your issues is astounding and his gentle, insightful but scientific approach is revelatory and welcome. His sincerity and desire to help is so inspiring and infectious that I find myself thinking about him and our session and I follow through on his suggestions with great results. I encourage all to see him with issues large and small because he is an effective practitioner and a wonderful human being.

Dr John has the soul of a healer and the mind of a scientist. HIs compassion and wisdom are apparent in the level of work that he does, bringing progressive thinking into alignment with deep, intuitive understanding. Dr John has a way of connecting you with your inner self through guided hypnosis. I have experienced incredible calm in this process, and have found that when I am in this state, my creative mind functions at a higher level. I used to believe that I had to work myself up in order to get things done, or make changes. I now recognize the importance of being "calm" as the springboard for my best ideas! I highly recommend!!
