NewMind Technologies Is Transforming Mental Health Care Through Brain Optimization

Train Your Brain to Thrive — At Any Age

For decades, scientists believed that neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and form new neural connections—was limited to childhood. But we now know that the human brain remains malleable throughout life. Research shows that adults can rewire neural pathways in response to new experiences, learning, and therapeutic interventions—even into old age. This means it’s never too late to improve focus, reduce anxiety, recover from trauma, or sharpen cognitive function.

One of the most effective and evidence-based methods to harness neuroplasticity is neurofeedback. By providing real-time insights into brainwave activity, neurofeedback allows individuals to retrain dysregulated patterns associated with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and more. It’s a non-invasive, data-driven approach that empowers both clinical and personal brain optimization at any stage of life.

I’m excited to share my latest conversation with Shawn Bearden, CEO and co-founder of NewMind Technologies.

With a background in software engineering and a passion for neuroscience, Shawn is pioneering a new era in mental health care through accessible, tech-driven brain optimization.

✨ NewMind empowers clinicians and wellness practitioners with advanced neurofeedback systems, QEEG brain mapping, personalized training protocols, and even metabolic support — all designed to elevate mental health and cognitive performance for people of all ages.

From Software Engineering to Neuroscience: A Mission to Reduce Suffering

When Shawn first launched NewMind Technologies, the vision was clear: reduce human suffering by making neurofeedback more accessible and effective for both clinicians and clients. Over the years, NewMind has stayed ahead of the curve by combining user-friendly software with cutting-edge brain science. Their mission has evolved alongside breakthroughs in mental health tech, but the goal remains the same — help more people optimize their minds and lives.

How It Works: QEEG Brain Mapping and Functional Neurofeedback

At the heart of NewMind’s system is QEEG brain mapping, which measures brain wave activity to pinpoint dysregulation. This “map” helps practitioners see where clients need support and track real progress over time. Neurofeedback then trains the brain to maintain healthier, more balanced states by rewarding it in real time — a kind of “operant conditioning” for your brain waves.

A client might watch a video that brightens or darkens depending on how well their brain holds a desired pattern. Over multiple sessions, this training becomes second nature. The result? Reduced anxiety and depression, sharper focus, better trauma integration, and cognitive improvements that stick.

More Than the Brain Alone: A Holistic, Biopsychosocial Approach

What truly sets NewMind apart is their functional neurofeedback approach. They don’t just look at the brain in isolation — they integrate metabolic assessments, cognitive-emotional function, social interaction, and even personalized supplement suggestions (based on cutting-edge research) to boost outcomes.

For example, their metabolic self-assessments identify areas that may slow neurofeedback results. By addressing these, clients can experience faster, more lasting change. This whole-person model aligns perfectly with the Spirit–Emotion–Mind–Body connection we celebrate at Ultimate Wellness.

In-Clinic or Remote: Flexible, Scalable, and Personalized

NewMind’s system gives practitioners powerful tools to scale their practice without losing the personal touch. Clinicians can monitor clients in real time via a live dashboard, whether they’re training in the clinic or at home. Clients can complete sessions on their own schedule — improving consistency, compliance, and results — while their coach stays connected through secure remote monitoring and progress tracking.

Who Benefits? And How Long Does It Take?

NewMind’s protocols show promising results for anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma integration, and even support for children on the autism spectrum. And the myth that neuroplasticity stops in childhood? Long gone. As Shawn reminds us: your brain never stops learning — it’s never too late to optimize how you feel, focus, and function.

Supporting Practitioners: Easy to Learn, Easy to Use

For wellness coaches and clinicians ready to expand into brain training, NewMind makes onboarding simple. They’ve trained providers for over 20 years and offer step-by-step guidance plus weekly learning opportunities. You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to help people benefit from this technology.
