Neurofeedback is expensive, but it isn't BS. I did it in 2000-01. It didn't give me the complete remission I was hoping for, but it did reduce my depression somewhat and eliminated my fear of public places. Also my allergies and frequent heartburn improved dramatically after doing neurofeedback. In the years since I did it, neurofeedback equipment and protocols have improved quite a bit, and I plan on doing some more of it. A good book about neurofeedback is A Symphony in the Brain by Jim Robbins.
I know you're in the LA area. Susan Othmer in Woodland Hills is one of the best-known neurofeedback clinicians in the country. Victoria Ibric in Pasadena has a good reputation. Here are some neurofeedback clinician directories:

http://www.brainmaster.com/clinicians/us/usa-clinicians
This directory is targeted at veterans seeking neurofeedback for PTSD, but it lists more clinicians than the other two directories:

I've read that Petra Schwarzwald in West LA offers neurofeedback that is less expensive than most providers in LA.

There's a neurofeedback protocol called "brain circuit training" that has been getting some spectacular results in the last couple years. To find out if there is anyone in LA who uses this protocol, email Peter Van Deusen (the clinician and trainer who developed it) at info@brain-trainer.com
