Ray McGarty Ray McGarty has worked in the behavioral health field since 1976. Among his many impressive credentials is that of having served as the clinical administrator of the Betty Ford Center. Over the years Ray realized that the vast majority of addicts had significant trauma in their backgrounds. He searched for a long time for some method that could accelerate the progress of people in treatment by allowing them to more effectively work through their traumas and thus reduce their need to abuse substances. Eventually he came upon neurofeedback and began using it extensively in the institutions he worked for. He currently uses neurofeedback in his private practice in Dover, New Hampshire as a primary and adjunctive mode of treatment. |
