🎉 Happy 2 Year Work Anniversary!

Today we’re celebrating our incredible Lead Occupational Therapist and the impact she has made over the past two years.

In that time, she has tripled the size of our OT team and expanded the depth of care we’re able to provide across our community. Through her leadership, our clinicians have grown their expertise in executive functioning, sensory integration, emotional regulation, primitive reflexes, and so many other critical areas that support whole child development.

Because of her vision and dedication, we are reaching more families than ever before and supporting youth from early childhood through young adulthood with care that is thoughtful, skilled, and deeply connected.

Thank you for your unwavering passion for this field, your commitment to excellence, and for inspiring the amazing therapists you lead every single day. We are so grateful for you and all that you bring to our team. 💙

The brain doesn’t work in parts and care shouldn’t either.

So many families come to us feeling overwhelmed by pieces that don’t seem to fit.

But when mind and body are understood together, patterns begin to emerge, regulation strengthens, and the picture becomes clearer.

And when clarity grows, progress follows.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

This is the foundation of our work at Mini Minds!

✨ Check out “A Day in the Life of Madison,” one of our Mental Health Therapists who serves our Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Fishers locations!

Not every therapist day happens in session and today was all about the behind the scenes work that helps everything run smoothly.

Madison spent some time setting up a welcoming, safe space for kids, catching up on emails and session notes, printing materials for upcoming sessions, and even testing out new games and toys. Each one was chosen with intention to help kids practice skills like regulation, connection, and communication.

A lot of preparation, creativity, and care goes into days like this, all so Madison can show up fully for the kiddos she gets to work with!

At Mini Minds, we’ve always believed in supporting children beyond surface behaviors. Over the years, that belief has grown into something even more intentional.

Because we know behavior doesn’t exist alone. Emotions, sensory needs, relationships, and lived experiences are deeply intertwined. But when care is fragmented, families are left trying to connect the dots themselves.

Our work brings all those pieces together for you — one team, one plan, one clear path forward.

So families don’t just manage challenges, they understand them. And when understanding grows, progress follows.

This is care that moves as one.

This is what connection feels like.

🌟 We’re so excited to welcome Taylor Truelove, our new Graduate Occupational Therapy Intern, to the Mini Minds team!

Taylor was born and raised in Indiana and earned her Bachelor’s in Health and Human Sciences from Indiana University Indianapolis in 2020. She is currently in her third and final year as a Doctoral Occupational Therapy student at the University of Indianapolis, where she is completing her Capstone Project right here at Mini Minds.

Throughout her program, Taylor has completed 30 weeks of fieldwork across a variety of settings, from acute inpatient rehabilitation to outpatient therapy. She also brings six years of experience working with children with autism, along with a strong passion for serving the pediatric population through a holistic and therapeutic approach.

Taylor discovered her passion for feeding and eating therapy early on and has continued to grow her expertise in this area. At Mini Minds, she is creating and implementing an intuitive eating program to help children build skills to overcome challenges with eating and trying new foods, focusing on reducing anxiety, increasing body awareness, and learning to express how their body feels before, during, and after mealtimes.

As part of her capstone work, Taylor will be running a FREE community class called Tummy Talk, a playful and supportive Intuitive Eating class for children ages 4 to 8. Through fun and age appropriate activities, children will learn to trust their bodies and listen to their tummy’s voice.

This gentle class supports body awareness, emotional regulation, and self confidence, empowering kids to feel strong, energized, and confident while saying goodbye to food rules and hello to trusting their bodies.

Check out the comments below for more information on our Tummy Talk class, then email info@miniminds.org to register today ⬇️

☀️ Morning Regulation Tip with Michele!

Our Mental Health Therapist, Michele, is here to share some helpful morning regulation tips, perfect for dark and cold Monday mornings just like this one.

The Indiana mornings in January and February can take a toll on both kids and adults. If mornings have been feeling extra hard lately, you are not alone. To make the start of the day more enjoyable, try implementing some of these tips together as a family.

💡 Use Light to Wake the Brain
Light helps signal the brain that it is time to wake up and get moving, especially during seasons when daylight is limited. Turn lights on immediately after waking up or use a sunrise alarm clock to gently cue the brain that the day is starting.

🕒 Revisit and Reimplement Routines
Winter break can sometimes disrupt routines and structure, which may make school mornings more challenging. In the evening, review household expectations and morning routines that work best for your family. Laying out clothes the night before, reviewing the flow of the morning routine, brushing teeth, making the bed, eating breakfast, and building in extra time when needed can all help mornings run more smoothly.

🧠 Regulate Yourself First
Cold and rushed mornings can be stressful, but they often go smoother when adults take a moment to pause and regulate themselves before helping their children regulate. A calm caregiver can make a big difference.

💙 Hang in there… brighter days and warmer mornings are coming!

🎉 Happy 2-Year Work Anniversary, Karen!

Today we’re celebrating Karen, our incredible Assistant Practice Manager, and two amazing years of dedication at Mini Minds.

Karen’s contagious smile and cheerful presence make every family feel instantly welcome the moment they walk through our doors.

Congratulations on two wonderful years! ✨

Have you heard? It’s !

At Mini Minds, you might notice we have a lot of plants, especially at our Broad Ripple location, and that’s no accident.

Our Mental Health Therapist Kennedy is here to remind us why greenery plays such an important role in mental wellness.

✨ Houseplants support mental health in powerful ways:

🌿 Lower stress & cortisol levels
Caring for and simply being around plants has been shown to reduce stress hormones, helping our minds and bodies feel calmer and more regulated.

🌿 Improve mood & focus
Greenery boosts concentration, creativity, and emotional well being, creating a more peaceful environment for learning, healing, and connection.

🌿 Create routines & mindfulness
Watering, checking growth, and caring for plants encourages presence, responsibility, and gentle daily routines. Small moments that build mindfulness and emotional regulation.

That’s why our spaces are filled with life, warmth, and growth, because mental health thrives in nurturing environments!

So much attention and care goes into keeping our spaces green and thriving. Thank you, Kennedy, for making all three of our offices feel warm, welcoming, and special with your thoughtful touch.

We encourage our Mini Minds families to celebrate by picking up a houseplant this weekend and bringing a little extra calm and care into your home. 🌱

🎉 Happy Work Anniversary, Ally Reckers!

Today we’re celebrating YOU — an incredible Occupational Therapist, a compassionate teammate, and such a valued part of the Mini Minds family!

Congratulations, Ally! We are so proud of you 💫

With everyone returning to regular routines this week back to school, back to work, back to sports, and back to busy schedules, it can feel hard to stay balanced. One gentle way to support your nervous system during this transition is by noticing ✨glimmers✨

Occupational Therapist Kasey shares how a glimmer is a small moment that brings a sense of safety, calm, or connection to your body and mind. During busy seasons, glimmers can be easy to miss, but they are incredibly powerful when we pause to notice them!

At the end of each day, try taking a moment to write down 3 to 5 glimmers. If you’re not sure where to start, these questions can help:

✨ What was a small moment today that felt calming, grounding, joyful, or comforting?
✨ What made me smile, laugh, or soften today?
✨ When did my body feel a bit more relaxed?
✨ When did I feel connected to someone or to my surroundings?
✨ What was something surprisingly pleasant in the ordinary moments of my day?

Noticing glimmers helps your nervous system register safety and strengthens positive neural pathways. Over time, this can make it easier to experience more joy, peace, and gratitude even during busy or challenging seasons!

✨ Make this the year you set your family up for success!

A new year brings a fresh start, a chance to find more balance, regain a sense of control, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’ve been carrying questions, worries, or “what ifs” about your child’s support, this is the year to get answers and feel supported every step of the way.

Start your Mini Minds journey with a Discovery Call!

At Mini Minds, every family begins with a Discovery Call, a complimentary, personalized conversation with one of our four Lead Therapists. This is more than an intake call. It’s a meaningful reset and the first step toward building a plan that truly fits your family.

During this call, our Lead Therapist will:
💛 Listen to your family’s current challenges and goals
💛 Learn about your child’s strengths, interests, and unique personality
💛 Thoughtfully hand match your child with the therapist who is the best possible fit

And this support doesn’t end when the call does!

Once your child is matched, your Lead Therapist continues to walk alongside your clinician and family, offering guidance, collaboration, and continuity of care. With ongoing communication and the support of our multidisciplinary team, we help create progress that feels steady, intentional, and empowering.

This relationship driven approach is one of the many ways Mini Minds goes above and beyond, so families don’t just start the year hopeful, but supported.

✨ Start your new year off right… visit miniminds.org or email info@miniminds.org to schedule your complimentary Discovery Call today!

For this week’s , we’re sharing a peek into our team’s winter break adventures!

From enjoying local holiday favorites like Newfields and the Christkindlmarkt, to traveling across the country from Arizona to Florida, our team made the most of their time off.

We truly value rest, self-care, and meaningful time with friends and family so our clinicians can show up refreshed, reenergized, and fully present for the families we serve.

Cheers to a team that knows how to recharge and show up with their whole hearts!
