qEEG Brain Mapping
qEEG Brain Mapping is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that helps us understand your brain function and develop targeted treatment plans. This non-invasive procedure provides valuable insights into how different areas of your brain are functioning and communicating.
Important Note: In-Office Requirement
qEEG Brain Mapping requires an initial in-person visit to our office for the mapping procedure. However, results analysis and treatment planning can be conducted through teletherapy sessions, minimizing your need to travel.
The brain mapping process involves placing sensors on your scalp to measure electrical activity in different regions of your brain. This data is then analyzed to identify patterns associated with various mental health conditions and create a personalized treatment approach.
