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 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.
-
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.
At a Glance
- Brain-Based Programs
Neurofeedback at Every Level of Care
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 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 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.

The Neurofeedback Process at Redefine
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- Problems EMDR Solves
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

How Neurofeedback Is Integrated in the Outpatient Schedule
This is a sample PHP week, not a fixed schedule. Your clinical team builds your plan around your specific brain map and presentation. Neurofeedback runs daily; the supporting modalities shift as your nervous system responds.

The Research on Neurofeedback's Effectiveness in Treatment
What the Latest Research Shows
— Updated 2025A meta-analysis of neurofeedback for PTSD found a 79% remission rate in the neurofeedback group compared to 24% in controls, with measurable changes in brain functioning confirmed by neuroimaging.
A meta-analysis across multiple RCTs found neurofeedback produced significant reductions in depression symptoms, with particularly strong effects for people diagnosed with major depressive disorder.
In a randomized controlled trial of 87 patients with co-occurring depression and anxiety, both neurofeedback protocols significantly reduced symptoms on standardized clinical measures.
When neurofeedback was combined with trauma counseling in 71 clients with treatment-resistant PTSD, 54% showed clinically significant improvement with large effect sizes for both severity and global functioning.
The largest review of neurofeedback's lasting effects found improvements in attention and self-regulation held at 6 to 12 months after training ended, outperforming non-active control treatments at follow-up.

Does Insurance Cover Neurofeedback?
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.
