Therapy

Neurofeedback Therapy

Your brain makes tiny waves of electricity all the time, kind of like music playing in the background. Sometimes the “music” is too fast, too slow, or out of tune — and that can make it hard to focus, stay calm, or sleep.

Neurofeedback Therapy is like a video game for your brain. You wear special sensors on your head that show how your brain waves are working. Then, when your brain makes the “right” kind of waves, the game works better — like the picture gets brighter or the character moves forward.

Over time, your brain learns how to stay “in tune” on its own, just like practicing an instrument or a sport.

Whole-Person Healing, Rooted in Hope

At Foster the Mind, we use the most advanced, non-invasive tools available to gently recalibrate brain function and unlock healing. Each therapy is carefully chosen and customized to meet the unique needs of every patient and family we serve.

Understanding Neurofeedback

At Foster the Mind, we use Neurofeedback to train the brain to work at its best. This safe, noninvasive therapy helps kids, teens, and adults improve focus, manage stress, and build healthier brain patterns — without relying only on medication.

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a type of brain training that measures brain waves using small sensors placed on the scalp. These sensors show how the brain is working in real time.

How Does Neurofeedback Work?

During therapy, clients watch a movie, play a game, or view a screen that changes based on their brain activity. When the brain produces healthier patterns, the movie gets clearer or the game improves. Over time, the brain “learns” how to stay balanced and focused.

Who Can Neurofeedback Help?

Improved Focus and Attention

Kids with ADHD, anxiety, or learning challenges can improve focus, emotional regulation, and overall brain function through neurofeedback.

Better Emotional Regulation

Teens struggling with stress, depression, or school performance often gain confidence, clarity, and resilience with neurofeedback training.

Drug-Free and Noninvasive

Adults use neurofeedback to manage anxiety, insomnia, and trauma, while enhancing mental clarity, mood, and long-term brain health.

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!
