What Is Neurofeedback and Brain Mapping?

Neurofeedback and brain mapping are non-invasive techniques that help understand and train brain activity. Brain mapping identifies patterns in how the brain functions, while neurofeedback uses this information to help the brain learn healthier, more balanced ways of working to support focus, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Through collaborative dialogue, clients learn to:

Brain Mapping (qEEG)

A quantitative electroencephalogram that creates a visual map of brainwave patterns. It highlights areas related to anxiety, depression, trauma, cravings, sleep issues, or attention challenges.

Neurofeedback Training

A real time biofeedback process where the brain learns to self regulate. By receiving rewards through sounds, visuals or interactive activities, the brain strengthens healthier patterns and reduces dysregulation ones.

How Neurofeedback Supports Recovery

Training the brain to restore balance, resilience, and self-regulation

Improves emotional regulation

Decreases reactivity, stress, and mood instability

Support trauma healing

Calms hyperarousal and strengthens resilience

Enhance focus and clarity

Improves attention, memory, and cognitive flexibility

Promotes restorative sleep

Helps normalize brainwave patterns that disrupt sleep

What to Expect in Sessions

Neurofeedback programs follow a structured, personalized process.

Brain Mapping Assessment

A qEEG scan identifies areas of overactivity, underactivity, and dysregulation

Personalized Training Plan

A tailored neurofeedback program is created based on the individual’s brain map and goals.

Neurofeedback Training Sessions

Clients engage with interactive visual or audio activities that reward healthy patterns.

Progress Monitoring

The provider tracks improvements and adjusts the protocol as needed

Integration Into Daily Life

As patterns stabilize, clients notice improvements in focus, emotional regulation, and recovery

By mapping brainwave patterns and gently training healthier activity, neurofeedback helps individuals reduce cravings, strengthen regulation, and build a more stable foundation for long term healing.

FAQs About Neurofeedback and Brain Mapping

Is it painful or invasive?

No. Sensors only measure brainwaves and provide feedback. Nothing enters the body.

Can this help with relapse prevention?

Yes. Neurofeedback helps regulate brain patterns linked to cravings, stress, and impulsivity, which can support long-term relapse prevention.

How many sessions are needed?

The number varies, but most people begin noticing changes after 10-20 sessions, with longer-terms goals often requiring additional sessions.

Is it safe for people with trauma?

Yes. Neurofeedback is non-invasive and can be especially helpful for trauma when done gradually and guided by a trained provider.

Does this replace therapy or medication?

No. Neurofeedback works best as a complementary tool alongside therapy and, when appropriate, medication.

Is Neurofeedback covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Some insurance plans offer partial reimbursement, while others consider it an out-of-pocket service.
