Brain Mapping
qEEG Brain Mapping in Scottsdale, Arizona
Redefine Wellness & Treatment is a Joint Commission-accredited mental health treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona, offering qEEG brain mapping as the starting point for every treatment plan. A qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) records electrical activity across 19 sites on the scalp, then compares it against an FDA-approved normative database to produce a topographical map of how the brain is functioning.
This is what separates treatment at Redefine from most other facilities. Rather than building a plan around symptoms and self-report alone, your clinical team starts with measurable brain data. The map directly informs your neurofeedback protocol, shapes which therapeutic modalities are prioritized, and gives clinicians an objective baseline to track your progress against throughout treatment.
-
Objective Data, Not Guesswork. Most treatment plans are built on symptoms and self-report. A qEEG adds a measurable, visual layer, showing which brain regions are overactive, underactive, or showing irregular patterns before a single intervention begins.
-
Guides Your Neurofeedback Protocol. Neurofeedback is only as effective as the protocol behind it. Your brain map determines which frequencies to train, which sites to target, and what patterns to address, calibrated to your brain specifically.
-
Tracks Your Progress. A repeat brain map later in treatment shows measurable neurological change. Your clinical team can see whether interventions are producing the shifts they expected and adjust course if they aren't.
qEEG brain mapping is a diagnostic assessment included in all PHP and IOP treatment plans at Redefine Wellness.
At a Glance
- Brain Mapping Integration
Brain Mapping in Our Scottsdale Outpatient Programs
Brain Mapping Within PHP
Your qEEG brain map is completed within the first days of PHP and reviewed with your clinical team before any neurofeedback protocol begins. Because PHP runs 5 days a week, your team can act on the data immediately, calibrating neurofeedback frequencies, informing modality selection, and giving psychiatry objective data alongside clinical observation. A repeat map later in treatment shows whether the interventions are producing measurable neurological shifts.
Brain Mapping Within IOP
In IOP, your brain map guides a treatment plan built around a 3-day weekly schedule. Your neurofeedback protocol is still calibrated to your qEEG data, and your clinical team uses the map to determine which modalities to prioritize within a less intensive format. If you're stepping down from PHP, your original map and any repeat mapping carry over so your team can track continuity. Brain mapping ensures IOP treatment stays data-informed even at a reduced pace.
Brain Mapping in Private Retreats
During a private retreat, qEEG brain mapping happens on day one so the rest of the immersion is built around your results. Neurofeedback protocols, EMDR pacing, and somatic interventions are all informed by the map from the start. Because retreats compress weeks of treatment into days, having brain data upfront prevents guesswork and maximizes every session. A closing map at the end of the retreat gives you and your clinician measurable evidence of what shifted during the immersion.

The qEEG Mapping Process at Redefine
Sensors Are Placed on Your Scalp
A technician places a cap with 19 sensors on your head. Nothing enters the body. The sensors simply read the electrical activity your brain is already producing.
Your Brain Activity Is Recorded
You sit quietly for about 20 minutes while the system captures data from each sensor site. The recording measures speed, amplitude, and connectivity patterns across all regions.
Data Is Compared to a Normative Database
Your results are run against an FDA-approved database of healthy brain function. The comparison produces a color-coded topographical map showing where your brain diverges from typical patterns.
Your Clinical Team Reviews the Results With You
Your therapist and treatment team walk through the map together with you, explaining what it shows and how it directly shapes your neurofeedback protocol, modality selection, and treatment plan.
This is not a diagnostic label. A qEEG shows how your brain is functioning right now, not a permanent condition. Your clinical team uses it as one data point alongside their own assessment to build a plan specific to you.
- Problems qEEG Brain Mapping Solves
qEEG Brain Mapping & The Brain & Nervous System
Conditions Where Brain Mapping Adds Clinical Value
- PTSD and complex trauma, including single-incident and developmental trauma
- Anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and health anxiety
- Depression tied to frontal lobe asymmetry or slow-wave dominance
- ADHD and attention difficulties, where theta-to-beta ratios distinguish subtypes
- Emotional dysregulation linked to attachment trauma or early relational wounds
- Traumatic brain injury and concussion history with residual cognitive disruption
- Sleep disorders, including insomnia tied to cortical hyperarousal
- OCD and rumination-driven conditions with persistent high-beta activity
Signs Brain Data Could Improve Your Treatment
- You've tried multiple medications without clear improvement, and no one has looked at what your brain is doing
- Your symptoms overlap across diagnoses, and clinicians aren't sure what's primary versus secondary
- Talk therapy helps you understand your patterns, but your baseline nervous system activation hasn't changed
- You want objective data guiding your treatment plan, not just symptom checklists and clinical impressions
- Previous treatments worked partially, but progress has plateaued and you're not sure what's keeping you stuck
- You experience brain fog, concentration difficulty, or sensory sensitivity alongside emotional symptoms
- You want measurable evidence that treatment is actually changing your brain, not just managing symptoms
- You're entering intensive treatment and want the most targeted, data-informed plan possible from the start
