What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive treatment method that helps individuals control their brain waves. By monitoring brainwave patterns, such as alpha waves, beta, delta, and theta waves, it enables you to gain more control over your brain’s electrical activity. This technique has gained traction, as it has shown promising results in improving treatment outcomes. The effectiveness lies in the capacity of the EEG treatment to keep the brain’s cortex active even when an individual resists change.
During a neurofeedback session, you are connected to an EEG device with electronic sensors that measures and displays your brain waves in real-time. This information is then used to provide feedback, typically in the form of visual or auditory stimuli, which helps guide your brain toward healthier patterns. Through repeated neurofeedback treatment sessions, your brain becomes more efficient at self-regulation, which can ultimately aid in overcoming a mental health disorder.
In recent years, neurofeedback has been incorporated into mental health programs, allowing individuals to better identify, understand, and alter their brainwave patterns. By addressing the root of mental health challenges – the imbalanced brain – this technique can lead to lasting recovery and improved overall mental well-being.
How Does Neurofeedback Work?
Neurofeedback treatment, or EEG biofeedback treatment, is a method that helps individuals learn to regulate their brain function in real-time. Here’s how it works:
- EEG Monitoring: Using electrodes on the scalp, the brain’s electrical activity is measured.
- Brainwave Analysis: This activity is processed by a computer, which categorizes it into different frequency bands (e.g., delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma).
- Setting Goals: Based on the individual’s needs and the identified imbalances, certain brainwave patterns are targeted for adjustment.
- Real-time Feedback: As part of the EEG biofeedback treatment, individuals receive immediate visual or auditory feedback based on their current brainwave activity, guiding them toward the desired patterns.
- Learning and Self-regulation: Over multiple sessions, individuals train their brains to produce or minimize specific patterns, optimizing their brain function.
- Assessment and Adjustment: The effectiveness of the training is periodically assessed, and goals are fine-tuned as needed.
- Transfer to Daily Life: With consistent training, individuals can maintain healthier brain waves in daily life, potentially addressing symptoms or challenges related to the mental health disorder they might be experiencing.
While neurofeedback can be a standalone treatment for certain conditions, it is often most effective when combined with other therapeutic approaches.

The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

It was great to begin my recovery in a group environment with so many knowledgeable nurses, therapists, BHT’s, and others around for support. The equine therapy, challenge course, family week, and daily therapies all work together seamlessly, allowing me to leave Sabino as a healthier and stronger person!
Types of Neurotherapy We Offer
At Sabino Recovery, as part of our holistic approach, we offer various treatment options including neurotherapy. Our neurofeedback specialist has extensive neurofeedback training and utilizes these evidence-based techniques to treat mental health and support your personalized recovery plan.
Some of the distinct Neurotherapy methods we provide include neuroplasticity exercises, QEEG brain mapping, and neurofeedback sessions. These innovative treatment options aim to assist you in fostering positive brain changes, leading to a healthier and more sustainable recovery from mental health disorders.
Your brain has the incredible ability to rewire itself, a process known as neuroplasticity. This important feature allows your brain to create and strengthen neural pathways in response to thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
In the context of mental health recovery, understanding neuroplasticity is crucial. By consistently reinforcing positive thoughts and actions, you can create new, healthy neural connections, which contribute to improved decision-making, optimism, and resilience. Utilizing your brain’s natural neuroplasticity can play a key role in achieving lasting mental health recovery. Research on brain mapping has shown that structural changes can occur in your brain as new connections form. Thus, neuroplasticity provides hope for overcoming mental health challenges and transforming your thought patterns for a healthier life.
In neurofeedback for mental health, an advanced neurological technology called qEEG produces a color-coded brain map. This non-invasive method quantifies the power, amount, distribution, and ratio of various brain waves without radiation or injections. Although it’s not a diagnostic tool, qEEG Brain Mapping is valuable for making accurate diagnoses and prioritizing treatment needs.
Specific physiological hallmarks on a brain map can reveal conditions such as ADHD, depression, PTSD, and brain injury, aiding in medication management. Additionally, it can identify undiagnosed learning disabilities and styles, as well as other crucial neuro and biological markers. These insights empower clinical teams to create individualized plans for each person undergoing brain mapping.
Neurofeedback is a technique that helps quantify and train your brain activity, ultimately benefiting your general mental health. By detecting brain waves through sensors, it enables you to see your brain’s real-time functioning. This process facilitates an increasing understanding of your thought patterns and brainwave responses.
Using results from qEEG Brain Mapping, sensors placed on your head monitor overactive or underactive wave patterns. The collected data gets converted into visual stimuli that respond to fluctuations in your brainwaves. Similar to training muscle memory, repetitive exposure teaches your brain to adopt the appropriate wave patterns automatically, gradually leading to improved mental health.
