Do transitions feel hard in your home—especially when it’s time to clean up toys? Moving from one activity to the next can be challenging, particularly for neurodivergent kids. A cleanup song can act as a gentle cue for their brains that it’s time to shift gears, while also making an otherwise boring task more playful and fun. 🎶

Try out the cleanup song we created and see how it supports a smoother, more positive cleanup time in your home!

At Mind & Body Clinic, we’re not here to fix you. We start from a different place — a place of curiosity, compassion, and understanding.

We’re here to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and body,
and to embrace your story exactly as it is.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about creating space for who you already are.

No judgment. No pressure. Just support, connection, and growth. Because true healing begins with being seen, not repaired. 🤍

✨ When survival mode has lasted a little too long, it’s easy to lose touch with who you are. In 2026, come rediscover yourself with me in session.

✨As we move into the new year, here are 3 things we want you to know — from a counselor intern at The Mind & Body Clinic:

1️⃣ You are not behind.
Growth isn’t linear, and there is no universal timeline for healing. Awareness, insight, and reflection are meaningful progress — even when it doesn’t feel dramatic.

2️⃣ Your feelings are information, not instructions.
Emotions offer valuable data about what you’re experiencing, but they don’t have to dictate your choices or your future. With support, you can learn how to respond rather than react.

3️⃣ You don’t need to be “fixed” to deserve care.
Therapy isn’t about having it all together. Support is allowed in the middle of the mess, the questions, and the uncertainty.

As you step into the new year, we invite you to lead with curiosity instead of pressure — and to remember that you don’t have to do this alone.

📞 Ready to take the next step? Call The Mind & Body Clinic at 417-812-6850 to schedule an appointment. We’d be honored to support you.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be.

When you first arrive, we start by helping your body feel at ease.

You’re welcome to sit, pace, stretch, or settle in however feels best.

We’ll show you where the lights can be turned down, where the fidgets are, and what options you have to support your sensory needs in our space.

From there, we focus on understanding you.

It’s about learning how your nervous system learned to survive—and what it needs now.

In early sessions, we’re simply getting to know you.

Your story.

Your rhythms.

Your capacity.

Yes, we may ask about your childhood and early experiences—because those moments often shaped how your brain and body learned to respond to stress, connection, and safety.

But we’ll also ask about:
• what life feels like in your body right now
• sleep, energy, focus, and overwhelm
• medications and supplements (past and present)
• sensory sensitivities and transitions
• burnout, shutdown, or feeling “on edge”
• what has helped before—and what hasn’t

Some nervous systems need more time to build safety.

Others are ready for structure or brain-based support earlier on.

There is no right pace—only your pace.

Your treatment plan isn’t a protocol to keep up with.

It’s a living, responsive plan that adjusts as your capacity grows.

We believe healing happens when care is attuned—not rushed.
When support feels regulating — not overwhelming.

And when you’re met with curiosity instead of correction.

You don’t need to mask, explain, or perform here.

We’ll meet you exactly where you are 🤍

In 2025, Our Team and Our Clients Showed Up to Do the Hard Work

This year looked like growth—but not just in numbers.
It looked like presence, collaboration, and steady, consistent care.

✨ We welcomed Kala to the team
✨ Secured another wonderful intern (coming soon 👀)

And behind the scenes, this is what care looked like:
• 1,505 hours of individual therapy sessions
• 32 neurofeedback assessments
• 15,744 minutes of brain training
(that’s 1,108 sessions of 15–20 minutes each)
• 2 EMDR Intensives (3 hours each)
• Multiple biofeedback scans & Rife sessions
• A bigger space
• 26 meeting prayer sessions
• 500 hours poured into moving and renovations
(big shout-out to 💪)
• Countless collaborative hours with integrative providers who believe, like we do, that healing works best when it’s shared.

None of this happened in isolation.

Every session, scan, and collaboration represents a real person choosing to do the work—and a team committed to meeting them with whole-person care.

As we step into what’s next, we’re deeply grateful—and honestly in awe of what 2026 may hold.

For our clients.

For our collaborators.

For the quiet, faithful work that adds up.

At The Mind & Body Clinic, we specialize in serving neurodivergent clients, and we know that after the holiday excitement comes the crash: overstimulation, exhaustion, emotional outbursts, shutdowns, and worn-out nervous systems.

When routines have been disrupted, sensory input has been nonstop, and expectations have been high, the body often responds before the mind can explain it. This isn’t bad behavior. It’s a nervous system asking for regulation and rest.

If today feels harder than you expected, you’re not alone—and nothing has gone “wrong.”

Our approach honors the mind–body connection, supports sensory needs, and helps individuals and families move from survival mode back to regulation—with compassion, not shame.
Support doesn’t end when the holidays do.

We’re here when you’re ready.

Merry Christmas from The Mind & Body Clinic

In the hustle and bustle of the season—
the noise, the expectations,
the pressure to make everything perfect—
we want to gently remind you to pause.

Take a breath.
Soften your shoulders.
And practice gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t meant to live only on Thanksgiving.

It’s a daily nervous-system reset—especially during seasons that feel full.

Today, beyond the presents and the plans,
what are you grateful for?

🤍 The birth of Jesus
🤍 Time with family (or the people who feel like family)
🤍 Provision—even if it came in unexpected ways
🤍 A moment of rest in the middle of a busy day
🤍 Healing, growth, or simply making it through a hard year
🤍 The reminder that you are not alone

Wherever this Christmas finds you—joyful, grieving, hopeful, or exhausted—
may you notice the quiet gifts that can’t be wrapped.

Merry Christmas!
