qEEG Brain Mapping: A Powerful Tool for Mental Wellness

What Is qEEG Brain Mapping?

Quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping is a non-invasive technique that measures electrical activity in the brain. This technology captures detailed brainwave patterns and translates them into visual maps, highlighting areas of imbalance or dysfunction.

qEEG brain mapping differs from a standard EEG because it uses advanced algorithms to analyze data and compare it to a database of healthy brain activity. This provides therapists with a clear picture of how a client’s brain functions and areas that may require intervention.

How Does qEEG Brain Mapping Work?

The process is simple and safe:

  1. Data Collection: Electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brainwave activity while the client relaxes.
  2. Analysis: The data is processed and compared to normative brain activity, identifying irregularities.
  3. Mapping: The results are translated into visual brain maps, which highlight areas of hyperactivity, hypoactivity, or imbalance.
  4. Treatment Planning: Therapists use this information to design personalized treatment plans, often incorporating neurofeedback and other therapies.

Benefits of qEEG Brain Mapping

qEEG brain mapping offers numerous benefits, making it a valuable tool in mental health treatment:

1. Identifies Root Causes of Mental Health Issues

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, qEEG brain mapping uncovers the neurological basis of challenges such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

The detailed insights from brain mapping allow for highly customized therapies tailored to each individual’s needs.

3. Tracks Progress

qEEG brain mapping provides measurable data that can track improvements over time, ensuring therapies are effective and adjusted as needed.

4. Supports Non-Invasive Therapies

The information from qEEG brain mapping is often used to guide neurofeedback, a non-invasive treatment that trains the brain to self-regulate.

5. Enhances Emotional and Cognitive Well-Being

By addressing imbalances in brain activity, qEEG brain mapping supports better emotional regulation, focus, and overall mental clarity.

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.
