Neurofeedback Therapy in Scottsdale

At Redefine Wellness & Treatment in Scottsdale, we use neurofeedback to train the brain toward healthier, more regulated patterns within our PHP and IOP programs. Guided by qEEG brain mapping and paired with EMDR, somatic therapies, and a full clinical team, neurofeedback here works inside a treatment program, not in place of one.

Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona

Neurofeedback at Redefine Wellness & Treatment in Scottsdale doesn't work like a standalone brain training clinic. Every protocol starts with a qEEG brain map and runs alongside EMDR, somatic therapies, and a full clinical team inside a structured program. Your brain learns to self-correct while your clinician adjusts training based on how your nervous system responds across all modalities.

PHP & IOP Programs
qEEG-Guided Protocols
Paired With EMDR
  • Guided by Your Brain Map. Your qEEG recording tells your clinician exactly where brainwave patterns are dysregulated. Training targets come from your data, not a generic protocol.
  • Paired With EMDR and Somatic Work. Neurofeedback stabilizes brain patterns. EMDR and somatic therapies process what drove the dysregulation. Together they address both sides.
  • Part of a Coordinated Treatment Plan. Your neurofeedback technician works alongside your therapist, psychiatrist, and full clinical team. Every session connects to your broader clinical picture.

Neurofeedback is one modality within individualized treatment plans built around your specific brain map and clinical presentation.

Neurofeedback at Every Level of Care

Neurofeedback session during PHP program at Redefine Wellness in Scottsdale

Neurofeedback Within PHP

PHP is where neurofeedback has the most impact. Clients train five days per week, and because you're on-site for the full treatment day, your clinician can observe how each session lands and adjust protocols in real time. A qEEG brain map is completed before your first session. EMDR and somatic work run alongside neurofeedback so the brain is stabilizing while trauma is being processed by the same clinical team.

Neurofeedback integrated into IOP treatment at Redefine Wellness

Neurofeedback Within IOP

In IOP, neurofeedback sessions happen three times per week, still a significant increase over the once-weekly frequency most standalone clinics offer. IOP works well as a step-down from PHP or for clients whose schedule requires flexibility without losing clinical precision. Your protocols use the same qEEG-guided approach as PHP, your clinical team still coordinates neurofeedback with EMDR and group work, and repeat brain maps track whether the patterns identified in your initial recording are actually shifting.

Neurofeedback sessions 3x per week
Same qEEG-guided precision as PHP
Coordinated with EMDR and group work
Flexible scheduling (morning or evening)
Step-down from PHP or direct admission
Ongoing clinical team coordination

Neurofeedback in Private Retreats

Private retreats compress the neurofeedback timeline into an immersive, individually scheduled experience. A qEEG brain map is completed on day one and training begins immediately. Clients receive daily neurofeedback alongside intensive EMDR and somatic work in a private, one-on-one format. This option is designed for people traveling to Scottsdale for treatment, executives who need accelerated stabilization, or anyone whose schedule requires a condensed format without sacrificing clinical depth.

Ideal for travel-to-treat or executive schedules

The Neurofeedback Process at Redefine

1

Your Brain Gets Mapped First

Your clinician records electrical activity across 19 scalp sites in a 30-minute qEEG session. The result is a detailed picture of where brainwave patterns are dysregulated.

2

Your Protocol Is Built Around Your Map

If the map shows excess fast-wave activity in the frontal lobe, common in anxiety and hypervigilance, training targets that pattern directly. If it shows underactivity linked to focus or mood, the protocol addresses that instead. No two protocols look the same.

3

Your Brain Trains in Real Time

Sensors on your scalp monitor brainwave activity while you watch a visual display. When your brain produces the target pattern, the feedback responds. When it drifts, the feedback pauses. The learning happens below conscious effort.

4

Progress Is Measured, Not Assumed

Repeat qEEG brain maps at intervals during treatment track objective changes in brainwave patterns. You and your clinician can see whether the dysregulation is actually shifting. If it's not, the protocol adjusts.

What to Expect
Session Length
30 to 45 minutes per session
Typical Course
20 to 40 sessions; daily training in PHP accelerates the timeline
Noninvasive and Painless
Sensors sit on your scalp. Nothing enters your body. Most people find it relaxing.
No Medication Involved
Trains brain patterns directly. Can complement medication under psychiatrist oversight.

Neurofeedback doesn't add anything to your brain. It gives your brain real-time information about its own electrical patterns and lets it learn to self-correct. The training is the brain recognizing itself more clearly.

Neurofeedback & The Brain & Nervous System

Conditions Neurofeedback Can Address

  • Anxiety disorders — including generalized anxiety and panic-level activation
  • Depression — particularly patterns tied to frontal lobe underactivity
  • PTSD — including trauma-related brainwave dysregulation patterns
  • Complex trauma and developmental trauma from childhood
  • Bipolar disorder — brainwave instability across mood states
  • Emotional dysregulation tied to nervous system instability
  • ADHD and attention-related brainwave patterns
  • Sleep disorders rooted in cortical hyperarousal

Signs Your Brain May Be Dysregulated

  • A mind that won't quiet down — racing thoughts, looping worry, or mental noise that doesn't match the situation
  • Chronic fatigue or brain fog that persists even with adequate sleep and no medical explanation
  • Emotional reactions that feel disproportionate — snapping, shutting down, or flooding over minor stressors
  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep, or waking in the early hours with a cortisol-driven alert response
  • Attention that scatters under low demand but hyperfocuses under pressure, a pattern common in ADHD
  • A nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight — elevated heart rate, shallow breathing, muscle tension at rest
  • Medication that manages symptoms but hasn't resolved the underlying pattern driving them
  • Feeling wired and tired simultaneously — your brain can't settle but your body is running on empty

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
What I was most happy about and sold me on getting therapy myself was how caring everyone is. And it’s not time limited. Like if you need an extra 20 mins cause it was a hard session then they will work with you to get that extra 20 mins. And they didn’t seem rushed to get to the next person. I’m so happy to say I would 100% recommend this place over and over.

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
I did a 5-day intensive at Redefine and it was exactly what I needed. The space was calm and private, and the sessions were deep but manageable. It gave me time to slow down, reset, and really focus on things I hadn’t had space to deal with. The team was supportive without being pushy — they really respected where I was at. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.

The Research on Neurofeedback's Effectiveness in Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Neurofeedback Feel Like?
Most people describe neurofeedback sessions as surprisingly uneventful, in the best sense. You sit in a comfortable chair while small sensors are placed on your scalp. No electrical current enters your brain. You watch a visual display or listen to audio while the system monitors your brainwave activity in real time. Most clients feel calm or slightly drowsy during sessions. Afterward, common experiences include feeling mentally quieter, sleeping better that night, or noticing improved focus the following day. Some people feel tired after early sessions as their brain adjusts to the training. That typically resolves within the first week.
Medication adjusts brain chemistry externally. It manages symptoms while you take it, and those symptoms often return if the medication is discontinued. Neurofeedback trains the brain to produce healthier electrical patterns on its own. The changes are learned, not chemically maintained, which is why research shows effects can persist months after training ends. Many clients at Redefine use both during treatment. Neurofeedback and medication are not competing approaches.
Most treatment courses involve 20 to 40 sessions. In PHP, where neurofeedback happens daily, clients accumulate those sessions in four to eight weeks rather than the several months it would take at a standalone clinic offering once or twice per week. Progress is tracked objectively through repeat qEEG brain maps, not just self-report.
Yes. Neurofeedback has been studied for over four decades and has a growing evidence base for anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and sleep disorders. A 2023 systematic review of randomized controlled trials found a 79% remission rate for PTSD symptoms in neurofeedback groups. A separate meta-analysis found significant reductions in depression symptoms across multiple clinical populations. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recognized neurofeedback as a Level 1 Best Support intervention for ADHD.
qEEG brain mapping is a diagnostic assessment. It records your brain’s electrical activity across 19 scalp sites and produces a detailed analysis of where brainwave patterns are dysregulated. Think of it as the X-ray. Neurofeedback is the treatment that follows. It uses real-time feedback to train the brain toward the healthier patterns identified in the map. At Redefine, the brain map guides every neurofeedback protocol. You never train without a map first.

Yes. Anxiety rarely exists in isolation. It often shows up alongside depression, trauma, ADHD, or substance use. Our treatment addresses the full picture rather than just the anxiety label. Sometimes what looks like “anxiety” is actually a trauma response, or the anxiety is masking depression. We figure out what’s actually driving your symptoms.

Our Mission

At Redefine Wellness and Treatment, we empower healing by uniting mind, body, and spirit. Using trauma-informed therapies, neuroscience, and holistic practices, we deliver personalized care that fosters resilience, growth, and lasting transformation.

Our Vision

We aspire to create a world where access to transformative healing is available to all, empowering people to lead fulfilling, balanced lives.
