What is Neurofeedback Therapy and qEEG?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that directly trains brain activity. It’s like exercise for your brain, helping it to regulate itself and function optimally. A qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) is an in-office diagnostic tool that involves placing a cap with electrodes on your head to record your brain’s electrical activity. It is a non-invasive and completely painless procedure. While in our office in Chandler, you simply sit comfortably as the sensors record your brain waves, with no harmful effects or side effects during the procedure. The sensitive sensors placed on your scalp monitor your brainwave activity painlessly — the electrical signals your brain produces that reflect different states of mind (e.g., focus, relaxation, sleep). This real-time brainwave information is displayed on a computer screen through engaging games, videos, or auditory tones. As your brain produces more of the desired brainwave patterns, you receive positive feedback that reinforces those healthy patterns.
How Does Neurofeedback Therapy Work?
Neurofeedback therapy works by helping your brain learn to self-regulate its activity. By providing real-time feedback on your brainwave patterns, we can help your brain to identify and shift away from less optimal patterns associated with various symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress, etc.) and toward more balanced and efficient functioning (focus, clarity, and calm). This process strengthens neural pathways and enhances the brain’s natural ability to control its states, leading to improvements in:
Focus and Attention:
By training the brainwaves associated with concentration.
Emotional Regulation:
By promoting brainwave patterns linked to calmness and stability.
Sleep Quality:
By encouraging brain activity conducive to restful sleep.
Cognitive Function:
By optimizing brainwave patterns related to learning, memory, and processing speed.
Overall Well-being:
By fostering a more balanced and resilient nervous system.

Frequently Asked Questions
The goal of Neurofeedback therapy is to create lasting changes in brain function. As the brain learns to self-regulate more effectively, these changes can become relatively permanent. Many individuals experience sustained benefits long after completing their training. However, like any learned skill, consistent reinforcement can be helpful in maintaining optimal brain function over time. Some individuals may benefit from occasional “tune-up” sessions. The longevity of benefits depends on factors such as the individual’s specific condition, the consistency and intensity of the training, and their lifestyle.
The timeline for experiencing noticeable benefits from Neurofeedback Therapy varies between individuals. Some may notice subtle improvements within the first few sessions, while others may need more time. Typically, significant and lasting changes are seen after 20 to 40 sessions. Factors influencing the timeline include the specific condition of the individual, the severity of their symptoms, their brain’s responsiveness to training, and their commitment to the therapy process. Our experienced practitioners will closely monitor your progress and offer guidance throughout your Neurofeedback journey.
Neurofeedback in our Chandler office offers a promising non-pharmacological approach for managing ADHD symptoms. By training specific brainwave patterns associated with attention and focus, Neurofeedback can help individuals with ADHD enhance their concentration, reduce impulsivity, and decrease hyperactivity. It empowers individuals to develop stronger self-regulation skills, leading to improved academic performance, better social interactions, and increased overall functioning without the potential side effects of medication.
We provide Neurofeedback Therapy in our Chandler office to help reduce anxiety by training brainwave patterns associated with calmness and relaxation. By increasing these calming brainwaves and decreasing patterns linked to worry and tension, individuals may experience a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, including racing thoughts, nervousness, and physical tension. Neurofeedback assists the brain in developing a greater capacity for emotional regulation, leading to a more peaceful and balanced state.
According to the National Institutes of Health, Neurofeedback can be a valuable component of a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By targeting specific brainwave patterns, Neurofeedback may help improve areas such as focus, attention, social interaction, communication skills, and sensory processing. While Neurofeedback is not a cure for autism, it can help individuals develop greater self-regulation abilities and improve their overall quality of life. Our practitioners work closely with families and other therapists to create a holistic and individualized approach for individuals with ASD.
