✨ Meet Our Clinicians ✨
Introducing Meletina Taerbaum

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating.
With Meletina, it feels calm, supportive, and human.

Meletina creates a space where you don’t have to rush, perform, or have everything figured out. From the very first session, her focus is on helping you feel comfortable and understood—because real healing starts with safety and connection.

She believes therapy works best when it’s collaborative. You set the pace. You decide what matters most. Together, you gently identify goals and take steps forward in ways that feel manageable and right for you.

Shaped by her own life experiences as a first-generation American, the child of a refugee, and a mother of a medically complex child, Meletina brings deep empathy and understanding into every session. She knows life is layered—and that no one should have to carry it alone.

If you’re looking for a therapist who truly meets you where you are, Meletina would love to walk alongside you. www.heartandmindcounseling.com ❤️ (904) 896-4998 ❤️ Our practice can help clients in 24 states

Happy New Year.

Waiting for the “right time” often keeps people stuck.
Therapy isn’t about being ready—it’s about becoming supported.

This year, consider:
✔ addressing anxiety or burnout
✔ processing medical or life trauma
✔ strengthening emotional regulation
✔ improving relationships

Change begins when you decide to begin.

✨ A gentle reminder as Christmas approaches ✨

The holidays aren’t joyful for everyone.
For many, this time of year brings family tension, old wounds, grief, pressure to perform, or anticipatory anxiety about gatherings that feel anything but safe.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed:
• It’s okay to set boundaries
• It’s okay to limit time or step away
• It’s okay if your holiday looks different than others
• It’s okay to feel conflicted, sad, or exhausted

Your nervous system remembers past experiences—your reactions make sense.

At Heart and Mind Counseling, we want you to know:
You don’t have to “push through” or pretend everything is fine. Support is available, and you deserve care—not just during the holidays, but always.

Be gentle with yourself this season. 💛
You are allowed to protect your peace.

Navigating holiday gifting can feel surprisingly heavy — especially when money is tight, a relationship is new, or expectations don’t match. 🎁💛

If you’ve ever felt awkward, guilty, stressed, or overwhelmed trying to give (or receive) gifts this time of year… you’re not alone.
Many people quietly struggle with:

✨ Someone giving them a gift they can’t reciprocate
✨ Feeling pressure to overspend
✨ Navigating new relationships
✨ Financial stress
✨ Not knowing what’s “enough”
✨ Fear of disappointing others

Here’s your reminder:
Gifts are expressions — not measurements — of love, worthiness, or commitment.

If this year’s gifting feels complicated, heavy, or emotional, we’re here to help you navigate it with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Check out our blogpost! https://heartandmindcounseling.com/handling-gift-giving-under-stressful-circumstances/

✨ Take a breath — you’re allowed to slow down. ✨
This season isn’t meant to be a race. It’s moments, memories, and little pockets of peace. Not everything on your list has to be crossed off — and that’s okay. Let go of the tasks that don’t serve you, release the pressure, and allow yourself space to just be.

Wrap yourself in gratitude, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty of right now. 🤍
You deserve calm. You deserve joy. You deserve presence.

If you need support, guidance, or a place to process during this busy season, we’re here for you.

🌟 The Pandemic’s Lasting Impact on Today’s Children 🌟

Children entering school today — from kindergarten through upper elementary — were uniquely shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research is now showing real developmental effects across multiple age groups.

📚 What we’re seeing in the data:
• Declines in language, social skills, and cognitive development
• Decreased academic achievement, especially in primary grades
• Larger setbacks in districts with longer lockdowns
• More pronounced impacts in minoritized and lower-income communities

👶 Pandemic-born children entering kindergarten are showing increased vulnerabilities in:
• Language & communication
• Social-emotional competence
• School-readiness skills

Experts note that some effects may appear later, as these children move through elementary school.

✨ How Heart and Mind Counseling Can Help
Our therapist Joe Morales, LPC, has been researching these trends and developing practical, evidence-based interventions for both children and parents.

Joe’s work supports:
• Social-emotional development
• Classroom adjustment
• Transition anxiety
• Co-regulation & behavior skills
• Parent coaching & confidence

If your child is struggling with school adjustment, emotional regulation, or developmental milestones — you are not alone.
Support is available, and early intervention makes a meaningful difference. 💛
