Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am a Mental Health Specialist with Kinder Mind in Mississippi. I am a 2012 graduate of Troy University, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and 10 years of experience working with adolescents and college students, in both an educational and counseling setting. I have spent a large portion of my career working with girls ages 12-18 struggling with anxiety, depression, body image issues, addiction and self harm. This has only deepened my desire to do more for the children and families of Mississippi. The time I have spent working with children and young adults of diverse backgrounds has led me to a belief in client based therapy, with a focus on self esteem building. I also employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and emotional processing techniques . I am passionate about providing care to the young people of Mississippi and look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’ve been a licensed master’s-level social worker and counselor for many years. I genuinely enjoy assisting individuals in achieving their goals or providing support during challenging times when they need guidance to find answers and solutions. I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, mental health issues, families, children, couples, and individuals grappling with trauma, anxiety, depression, intellectual disability, ADHD, and various other concerns. To cater to the unique needs of each client, I employ a range of therapeutic modalities, including person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and humanistic therapy, among others. When not dedicated to my work, I relish spending time outdoors, particularly engaging in activities like kayaking and exploring nature.
