qEEG Brain-Map​

Evidence-based talk and trauma therapies can produce lasting change, yet many clients still struggle with emotional regulation, focus, sleep, or performance. A more precise starting point is often required. 

 

Dr. Cole's team begins with a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) Brain-Map. This non-invasive assessment records brain-wave patterns (frequencies, power, and regional activity) and compares them to age-matched norms. Color brain maps help determine whether presenting concerns—depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), or PTSD—are primarily neurological, psychological, or both.

​

The qEEG process delivers no radiation or electrical stimulation. It simply measures the brain’s natural activity so treatment can be targeted rather than guessed.

Neurotherapy & Photobiomodulation​

Once the qEEG Brain-Map is complete, Dr. Cole designs a personalized Neurotherapy and/or Photobiomodulation protocol. These interventions inform and strengthen his Trauma-Informed Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach and form the core of the Mindful Neurotrauma Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Mitigation protocol—a multimodal, 7-session extension developed for acute trauma and performance-related injury.

 

This “look carefully before treating” sequence increases the likelihood of addressing root causes. Common conditions that respond well include:

​

  • Anxiety and stress-related disorders

  • ADHD / attention and executive-function challenges

  • Depression and mood dysregulation

  • Insomnia and sleep disruption

  • Migraines and chronic pain

  • OCD and related conditions

  • Tinnitus

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion recovery

  • PTSD and acute trauma-related symptoms

​

By combining objective brain data with precise neuromodulation and structured trauma-informed therapy, clients often experience faster and more durable improvements in emotional regulation, cognitive performance, and overall quality of life.
