Brain Mapping and ADHD: Creating More Accurate Treatment Plans

What is Brain Mapping?

Brain mapping, also known as quantitative EEG (qEEG), measures electrical activity in the brain to identify patterns that may be linked to ADHD. These maps provide a visual representation of brainwave activity, highlighting areas of underactivity or overactivity that may interfere with attention, behavior, and self-regulation. With this information, therapists can create tailored interventions that align with the individual’s unique neurological profile.

Benefits of Brain Mapping in ADHD Treatment

  • Personalized therapy plans: Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, brain mapping pinpoints where imbalances occur, guiding customized interventions.
  • Reduced trial and error: By identifying specific areas of dysfunction, clinicians can reduce unnecessary experimentation with treatments or medications.
  • Better progress tracking: Brain maps can be updated over time to measure how the brain responds to therapy, ensuring interventions remain effective.
  • Enhanced outcomes: With targeted treatments, children and adults may experience improved focus, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.

How Brain Mapping Complements Traditional Therapies

Many ADHD treatment plans include medication, behavioral therapy, or coaching. While these approaches can be effective, they may not address the underlying neurological differences. By integrating brain mapping for ADHD treatment, therapists can combine traditional methods with precision-based care. This ensures that treatment focuses on the unique needs of each individual, leading to better and more sustainable outcomes.

Why Families Choose Brain Mapping

Parents and adults managing ADHD are often frustrated by inconsistent results from standard treatments. Brain mapping provides clarity and direction, helping families feel confident that therapies are tailored to their child’s or their own brain activity. It removes much of the uncertainty, allowing for a more proactive and science-based path to managing ADHD.

ADHD is a complex condition that requires more than generic solutions. With brain mapping for ADHD treatment, therapists can develop more accurate, personalized, and effective plans that directly target the brain’s needs. This approach not only improves treatment outcomes but also empowers individuals and families with deeper insight into their unique neurological patterns.

Sydney Focht, MA, LPC

Clinical Director & Counselor

I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.

Cassandra Keller, MA, LPCC

Neurofeedback Clinician & Counselor (EMDR-Trained)

I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices. Whether we’re working with the nervous system, processing painful memories, or exploring patterns with curiosity, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported, present, and empowered to grow. I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing. Outside the office, you’ll often find me climbing, fly fishing, running trails, foraging, or relaxing in the grass under the aspens. My love for movement, play, and nature continually inspires how I show up with clients.
