Treatment Methods
Dr. Mueller is expert in cognitive, behavioural, and schema-based psychotherapies. These are well-researched therapies that have been clinically demonstrated as effective in the treatment of many different psychological and psychosocial problems. GOTO: Psychotherapies
Dr. Mueller is expert in the application of various biofeedback modalities to the treatment of psychophysiological disorders in which autonomic nervous system imbalance or dysfunction plays a primary or important role. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction or imbalance plays an important underlying or maintenance role in many chronic diseases. GOTO: Biofeedback Therapies
Dr. Mueller is expert in four types of EEG Neurotherapy that focus on improving brain function— i.e., EEG biofeedback (EEG-BFK), EEG-Driven Stimulation (EDS), Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE), and Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES). These therapies have application to the treatment of brain-based disorders or problems, as well as to the enhancement of peak performance. GOTO: EEG Neurotherapies

QEEG Brain Mapping & Neurometric Analysis
QEEG, or Quantitive EEG, is the mathematical and statistical analysis of the brain's electrical activity. Carefully edited EEG data is processed through special EEG databases to compare the individual's brain function to people of similar age and gender without illness or pathology. This comparison helps to identify areas of the brain that are producing abnormalities in terms of amounts and types of electrical activity, coherence (essentially connectivity between sites), and phase-lag (speed of information between sites).
Brain mapping typically reveals patterns of excesses or deficiencies in brain wave frequencies that are characteristic for certain disorders. Problems with connectivity between sites in the brain may be the key issue in epilepsy and learning disabilities. Medications typically do not change these underlying problems, leaving you to suffer with reoccuring or chronic symptoms.
The QEEG can assist in differentiating between persons with ADHD, learning disability, depression, head injuries, and seizure disorders. Learning disabled populations have slower patterns of brain activity with excess delta frequencies (1-4 Hz) over the central and parietal lobes. Low blood perfusion in the frontal areas in ADD/ADHD shows as an idling frequency of alpha (8-12 Hz) and/or theta (4-8 Hz). The QEEG can differentiate between the different forms of ADD/ADHD, each of which respond to different therapies.
