Conditions We Treat

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support

A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, happens when someone’s head gets hit really hard — like in a car accident, a fall, or while playing sports. The brain gets shaken or hurt, and that can make it harder to think, remember, or stay balanced for a while.

Some people with TBI might get headaches, feel dizzy, or have trouble paying attention. Others might feel more tired, sad, or frustrated than usual.

With the right care and therapy, the brain can heal and get stronger, kind of like how a broken bone needs time and support to mend.

Targeted Brain Therapy for Real, Lasting Relief

At Foster the Mind, we focus on the brain, not just the symptoms. Our gentle therapies help people feel better and live their best, most authentic life.

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury

At Foster the Mind, we provide safe, brain-based therapies to support recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Whether caused by a fall, accident, or sports injury, TBI can affect memory, focus, mood, and daily life. Our gentle, noninvasive treatments help children, teens, and adults restore balance and rebuild confidence — without relying only on medication.

What is a TBI?

A TBI happens when the brain is injured by a bump, blow, or sudden movement of the head. The injury can be mild, like a concussion, or more severe.

Common Symptoms of TBI

TBI may cause headaches, dizziness, memory problems, trouble focusing, mood swings, or changes in sleep and energy. Every person’s recovery looks different.

Brain-Based Therapy for TBI Recovery

How Our Therapies Help

We specialize in brain-based therapy to support recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using advanced, non-invasive treatments like neurofeedback, neuromodulation, photobiomodulation, and qEEG brain mapping, we target the root causes of post-injury challenges. Our personalized programs help reduce brain fog, improve memory, restore focus, regulate mood, and strengthen overall brain function. By addressing the brain directly, we promote long-term healing, resilience, and improved quality of life for individuals recovering from TBI.

Recovery is about more than just the brain. We combine brain-based therapies with counseling and support to help clients regain balance in both mind and body.

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!
