Testimonials
"I started going to Kathy for migraine headaches.She was very helpful in helping me to find possible triggers that were causing my headaches. Kathy is very knowledgeable and has many resources to draw from in coming up with ways to reduce the frequency of the headaches. We worked on biofeedback which includes breathing to relax the body. Kathy gave me a book to read and several relaxation tapes which have been very helpful. Kathy has a calm manner and was always very encouraging and optimistic with me. It was a pleasure to work with her."

"Kathy has been a tremendous help to me in managing my chronic head pain. She provided several resources - we looked at holistic methods, nutrition, insightful literature, yoga techniques, relaxation and I learned to be good at biofeedback. Kathy was never short on ideas and I always felt she wanted to help me as much as I wanted to be helped. My first response to pain is no longer medication and after 14 years of dealing with chronic pain, that's huge! Kathy was worth the two-hour trip."

"In just a few appointments, Kathy Kommit helped me learn techniques that I use each day to reduce stress and maintain inner peace even when life becomes difficult. Her caring manner and mild good humor made working with her a pleasure."

"I first came to Kathy for biofeedback to help reduce the impact of migraines on my life. The sessions were very productive and I learned a number of good tools I could incorporate in my daily life to reduce tension and the "stress response." But I found I got as much out of just _talking_ to Kathy as I did out of the biofeedback portion of the session. As a result, I went back to her for several sessions of more traditional "therapy" when I was trying to sort through a particularly stressful period in my work life. This was incredibly helpful and allowed me to find some perspective of the options I had in front of me."

"I came to the Stress Reduction Center during a stressful transitional period in my life. By the time I saw Kathy Kommit I was in somewhat of a crisis, having troubles sleeping and eating. Kathy patiently listened to me and gave me some amazing tools for managing my stress. The use of biofeedback was perfect for a concrete thinker like myself. This was not "tricky stuff", but simple techniques for relieving the awful grips of anxiety. Most of all, Kathy reassured me that I was not crazy and allowed me to face this time being honest with my thoughts and feelings. I would recommend the Stress Reduction Center to anyone who wants to lead a calmer, more peaceful, and happier life."

"Kathy Kommit,LICSW, treated me with Biofeedback for migraine headaches more than two years ago.
I still use the deep breathing techniques she taught me to relax.
I consider Kathy a life long friend.
After I had †misplaced a CD she had provided me to aid in relaxation, I contacted her about a replacement. She generously forwarded me a series of CD's as a gift.
These tools have improved the quality of my life. I use them daily."

"I am a forty eight year old male who suffers from Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. I have been very pro-active with regard to ways of reducing their impact on my life. My lifestyle has changed dramatically over the last several years and I have tried all kinds of therapies to help lessen the impact of these conditions. Some have been beneficial, others not. Kathy Kommitt was highly recommended for Bio-feedback by my Doctor managing my case.
I embraced Kathy and Bio-feedback immediately. I realized improvement in my condition from the beginning. I felt severe pain in my trapezoids constantly. Since learning this technique, I have many pain free days in that area. I continue to practice Bio-feedback almost daily, definitely one of my favorite tools which help me to manage my conditions and lead a normal life."
