Your brain is full of tiny “wires” that send messages, kind of like text messages between different parts of your body. Sometimes those messages get too loud, too quiet, or a little mixed up.
Neuromodulation is like giving your brain gentle reminders to get back on track. Clinicians use small, safe signals — like tiny pulses of electricity or magnetic waves — to help the brain send clearer messages.
It’s a bit like tuning a radio so the music sounds clear instead of fuzzy.
Sometimes, regular neurofeedback can be tough for kids and adults who have things like ADHD or Tourette Syndrome, because it asks them to sit super still and concentrate really hard.
Our brain training is different. You can talk, laugh, watch a show, or even play a game while your brain gets a gentle “tune-up.”
We use something called neurostimulation therapy, which gives your brain little nudges to help it find healthier patterns. When the brain practices these patterns enough, they start to stick — and people often feel calmer, more focused, and more balanced.
We mix together safe and gentle tools, like:
- pEMF (soft pulses that help the brain’s energy flow)
- tACS (tiny signals that help brain waves stay on rhythm)
- tDCS (small currents that support focus and learning)
- tRNS (gentle “noise” signals that help the brain grow stronger)
These tools help the brain’s parts talk to each other better, bring in more blood and oxygen, and even build new brain “pathways.” Best of all, the treatments don’t hurt — most people find them easy and even fun.
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.
At Foster the Mind, we use Neuromodulation Therapy to gently guide the brain into healthier patterns. This noninvasive, drug-free therapy helps kids, teens, and adults improve focus, reduce stress, and find emotional balance — even when other treatments have not worked.
Neuromodulation is a safe, non-invasive therapy that gently retrains the brain’s electrical activity to improve focus, mood, sleep, and overall mental well-being. By addressing the root causes of brain dysfunction—rather than just masking symptoms—neuromodulation helps restore balance and promote long-term healing.
Sensors are placed on the head to deliver tiny pulses that guide the brain back into balance. Over time, the brain learns these healthier patterns on its own, leading to lasting improvements.
Neuromodulation helps the brain sharpen concentration and reduce distractibility, making it useful for ADHD.
The therapy helps regulate mood, easing anxiety, depression, and emotional ups and downs.
Neuromodulation does not hurt, does not require medication, and is safe for children and adults.
Kids with ADHD, autism, or mood challenges may experience improved focus, calmer emotions, and stronger learning abilities through neuromodulation.
Teens struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma often find relief, resilience, and greater confidence with neuromodulation therapy.
Adults use neuromodulation to manage stress, lift mood, recover from trauma, and support long-term brain health and wellness.
We target the root cause by helping the brain reset and function in healthier ways.
Our team combines Neuromodulation with other therapies to create customized care plans that support lasting results.

Ready to get started?
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.
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.
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.
Treatment sessions last for an hour (including setup time).
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.
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.
Treatment sessions at the clinic are $250. In-home sessions are billed at a higher rate.
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!
