Meet the Therapists at MBC
Sophie: May seem quiet at first... until she casually drops the most insightful thing youâve heard all week.
Also has a gift for taking everyoneâs scattered ideas and helping turn them into something beautiful.
Sheâs proof that you donât have to be the loudest person in the room to have everyone listening when you speak.
Brooke: May forget to send the thing she promised if youâre not directly in front of her... đ€Ș
But she remembers everything youâve ever told her, that random story from three years ago, your dogâs middle name, and 47 unrelated facts.
(Your birthday? Thatâs a gamble.)
Leah: Equal parts therapist and personal cheerleader.
Will hype you up, encourage you, validate your feelings, and nurture the deepest parts of you.
But donât let that calm presence fool you... personally, she can barely sit still and really needs to start an idea journal for the three new business, life, or project ideas she comes up with every single day.
And somehow it all works. â€ïž

Weathering the Storm begins June 22nd đŠïž
Receiving a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis can bring a lot of questions. For many families, it can feel like learning a new language while trying to support a child through significant changes.
Our hope for this group is simple: to provide a space where parents and caregivers can learn more about PANS/PANDAS, gain practical tools for difficult moments, and feel more confident navigating the road ahead.
Whether you're newly exploring a diagnosis or still finding your footing after one, you don't have to figure it all out alone.

âšBehavior is communication. Looking beyond the behavior can help us better understand the child.
This trend is funny... but it actually touches on something we work on in therapy more often than people realize. đ
Facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and social cues can be incredibly nuanced. For some individuals, reading those cuesâor communicating their own thoughts and feelings in a way that matches what they meanâdoesn't always come naturally.
Part of our work is helping clients build awareness around communication patterns, social cues, perspective-taking, emotional expression, and self-advocacy. Not so they can become someone they're not, but so they have more tools to communicate intentionally and confidently.
Because sometimes a "wow okay" is just a "wow okay"... and sometimes it's apparently seventeen different things. đ

Connect Before You Correct
At Mind and Body Clinic, one phrase youâll hear often is: âConnect before you correct.â
As parents, itâs natural to want to jump straight into solving a problem or addressing a behavior. But before correcting, take a moment to connect with your child first.
Connection can sound like:
* âTell me what happened.â
* âWow, that sounds really hard. Tell me more.â
* âI can see youâre upset. Help me understand.â
Or even,
Going on a walk together or a simple hug before jumping into the conversation.
When children feel heard, understood, and emotionally safe, they are much more likely to be open to guidance and accountability. By connecting first, we help lower defensiveness and create space for honest conversations, problem-solving, and trust.
Correction is importantâbut it is often most effective when it comes after connection. When children know we are listening and trying to understand their experience, they are more receptive to feedback and more willing to acknowledge mistakes and make better choices moving forward.
Connection builds trust. Trust makes correction possible. đ
