Cognitive Impairment Support

Cognitive impairment means that someone’s brain has a harder time with things like remembering, paying attention, learning new information, or solving problems. For example, they might forget directions, lose track of what they were doing, or struggle in school or at work.

Support for cognitive impairment gives the brain extra help so it can work better. At Foster the Mind, we use gentle brain training and therapy to strengthen memory, focus, and problem-solving. This helps those affected feel more confident at school, at work, and in everyday life.

Targeted Brain Therapy for Real, Lasting Relief

At Foster the Mind, we focus on the brain, not just the symptoms. Our gentle therapies help people feel better and live their best, most authentic life.

Understanding Cognitive Impairment

At Foster the Mind, we provide gentle, brain-based therapies to help children, teens, and adults with cognitive impairments. These challenges may affect memory, learning, attention, or problem-solving. Our therapies are designed to strengthen brain function, improve confidence, and support daily life.

What is Cognitive Impairment?

Cognitive impairment means the brain is not working as clearly as it should. This can make it harder to remember things, focus on tasks, or solve problems. Some impairments are mild, while others may be more severe.

Common Signs of Cognitive Impairment

People with cognitive impairments may forget things often, get easily confused, or struggle to learn new skills. Kids may have trouble in school, while adults may find work or daily routines more difficult.

Brain-Based Support for Cognitive Impairment

How Our Therapies Help

We use safe, noninvasive therapies like Neurofeedback, Neuromodulation, HEG, and Interactive Metronome to strengthen memory, focus, and processing speed.

Personalized, Whole-Person Care

Each therapy plan is tailored to the individual, helping improve the specific areas where support is needed most.

Benefits of Cognitive Impairment Support

Improved Memory and Learning

Brain-based therapies help the brain store and recall information more effectively.

Clients often notice longer attention spans and better ability to complete tasks.

More Confidence in Daily Life

With stronger brain function, kids and adults feel more capable at school, work, and home.

Why Choose Foster the Mind for Cognitive Impairment Support

At Foster the Mind, we take a brain-first approach to cognitive impairment support.

Using advanced therapies like neurofeedback, neuromodulation, and brain mapping (qEEG), we identify the root causes of memory loss, brain fog, attention problems, and processing difficulties. Instead of masking symptoms, our personalized programs strengthen neural pathways, improve focus, enhance clarity, and support long-term brain health.

This science-backed, non-invasive care helps individuals with cognitive challenges regain independence, confidence, and quality of life.

Meet our Founder

Bryan Butler

Bryan Butler, founder of Foster the Mind discovered the power of neuromodulation therapy after decades of  depression, anxiety, and psychiatric misdiagnoses​ from childhood abuse that left him overmedicated, hopeless, and frequently suicidal. His journey of treatment through neurofeedback and then neuromodulation created a profound transformation. After a final suicide attempt he discovered neurofeedback.

Seeing the difference that modern and effective treatment can make for challenging cases led Bryan to found a nonprofit with the goal of restoring hope for traumatized children in the foster care system and beyond. 

Today, in addition to working with patients, Bryan is a way shower in the mental health community offering insights and practical modalities to resolve the root causes of mental dysfunction and suffering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as TMS?

No, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses a much higher level of electrical stimulation. In our experience, TMS treatment may be more expensive than our approach, is typically not EEG-guided for each patient and doesn't include counseling or talk therapy. We find our gentler, highly targeted and individualized treatment based on brain mapping to be more effective.

How is your brain training different from neurofeedback?

Traditional neurofeedback requires patients to be very still and concentrate intensely for long periods of time. Even blinking can set back progress. Most patients find it frustrating and may end treatment before seeing any results. This treatment modality is especially difficult for children. In contrast, our neurostimulation therapy requires no effort or concentration. It does most of the work for you.

How long is each session?

Treatment sessions last for an hour (including setup time).

How often are treatments done?

Patients are typically treated 2–3 times per week and the schedule may be adjusted as progress unfolds. More frequent treatment is sometimes recommended for out of town patients or traumatic brain injury patients to offer greater improvement in a shorter time frame.

How many sessions will it take to see results?

Most patients begin experiencing changes within a few sessions. Because every brain is different, we don’t know up front the total number of treatments to reach the desired outcome. We do work with patients for as long as needed to achieve relief and are known for taking on and resolving challenging cases.

How much does treatment cost?

Treatment sessions at the clinic are $250. In-home sessions are billed at a higher rate.

Does insurance cover neuromodulation therapy?

At this time, we are not aware of any insurance plans that cover our treatments. You do have the option of using your HSA (Health Savings Account) to pay for treatment with pretax dollars. We look forward to the day when this proven therapy is covered by insurance!
