Compassionate Care, Backed by Science

Therapy and Counseling

Therapy, counseling, and coaching are times when you get to talk with someone who listens carefully and helps you work through problems. At Foster the Mind, these are done simultaneous with other therapies.

If you’re sad, worried, or upset, they help you find ways to feel better. They can teach you skills for handling stress, getting along with others, and building confidence.

It’s a safe place where you can share anything on your mind and learn tools to make life a little easier.

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 Therapy and Counseling

At Foster the Mind, we believe healing begins with being heard and understood. Our therapy and counseling services provide a safe, supportive space for children, teens, and adults to explore their thoughts and emotions, build coping skills, and find lasting relief from stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

What is Therapy and Counseling?

Therapy and counseling involve talking with a trained professional who helps you work through challenges, discover new perspectives, and create healthier patterns in your life.

How Does Therapy Work?

In each session, clients have the chance to share their experiences, explore feelings, and learn practical tools. Counseling may also include specialized approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, or brain-based therapies to support deeper healing.

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!
