You've Been Told to "Just Stop." Your Brain Won't Let You.
Tics aren't a habit and they aren't a choice. They're a brain sending the wrong signal, over and over, faster than willpower can catch it. At Foster the Mind, we use non-invasive, brain-based therapies to help your brain quiet that signal, so you can feel in control of your own body again.
A Tic Is More Than a Movement. It's a Brain That Can't Stop.
You've heard it before. "Just stop." "Try harder." "Ignore it and it'll go away." But you know it's not that simple. The throat clear, the blink, the sudden outburst, none of it is something you're choosing.
Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders come from the brain's electrical activity firing in patterns it can't shut off on its own. The exhaustion of holding it in. The stares in the classroom. The comments at work.
That's not a discipline problem. It's a brain stuck in a loop, and willpower was never going to be enough to break it. You need something that works where the problem actually lives.
We've Been There. And We Know What Actually Works.
Foster the Mind was founded by Bryan Butler, a person who lived with severe depression for decades, survived multiple suicide attempts, and found his way out through brain-based therapy when nothing else worked. He built this practice to bring that same relief to others, including children, teens, and adults living with tics.
Our team combines deep personal understanding with advanced, evidence-based therapies, and we specialize in the cases others haven't been able to crack.
"I can honestly say my life is better than ever and I feel hopeful about the future."

What Changes When the Tics Quiet Down
Our patients describe more than fewer tics. They describe getting their confidence back. Kids come home from school proud instead of drained. Focus improves. Social anxiety eases. Sleep gets deeper. And results are shown to last for years, with clients living tic-free in the real world, from school to social outings, for over three years and running.
"The changes in our family have been dramatic... I feel like a better parent and a better version of myself."
Your first step is a free consultation, a real conversation about what's happening in your brain and what's possible for lasting relief.
