A Brain-First Approach to Healing

Our Nonprofit Mission: Restoring Hope, One Mind at a Time

Foster the Mind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to transforming mental health care for children, teens, and families impacted by abuse, foster care, trauma, and neglect. We use advanced brain-based therapies—like qEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback, and neuromodulation—to bring real hope, healing, and lasting change to those who need it most.

Our Vision

We see a world of mental wholeness—where every brain is calibrated to unlock each person’s authentic personality and unleash their maximum fulfillment.

Our Mission

At Foster the Mind, we combine cutting-edge brain science with compassionate care. Our therapies focus on the root causes of brain dysfunction—not just the symptoms. Every treatment plan begins with qEEG brain mapping, followed by personalized interventions such as neurofeedback and neuromodulation.

We are committed to making treatment accessible. Many of our services are provided at low or no cost for children in foster care, adoption, or those who have faced significant trauma.

Every session brings a child closer to emotional wholeness—and a life where they can truly thrive.

Ways to Get Involved

Your support makes this work possible. Here’s how you can help:

  • Donate to fund treatment for foster youth and low-income families.

  • Sponsor a child, therapy sessions, or technology development.

  • Partner with us as a referring professional or community organization.

  • Volunteer your time or expertise.

  • Share our mission to spread awareness.

Looking Ahead

Our vision for the future is bold: to build a residential treatment center offering round-the-clock, trauma-informed, brain-first care for children in crisis. This center will serve as both a sanctuary for deep healing and a launchpad for lifelong resilience.

Together, we can restore hope, strengthen families, and change the future—one mind at a time.

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!
