Hello!! The right match between therapist and client can be one of the largest factors to therapeutic success. My view of the therapeutic relationship is that of a shared journey between client and therapist. I have been in private practice for ten years and I continue to be a "client" as well, which I believe gives me sensitivity and insights resulting in a non judging collaborative approach. I see therapy as an opportunity to use symptoms as a gateway to self discovery and growth, as a self actualizing process as we heal wounds, work through issues, and discover self potential.

The poet Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Emotional wounding is a very real part of human experience. It can happen as a result of trauma, loss , rejection, a serious health diagnosis or unwanted change. Like a physical wound, if left untreated it can become infected and lead to symptoms like anxiety and depression. My name is Mindy Tomlinson and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I work with individuals to heal their wounds and enter the light where insight, clarity and acceptance lead to a renewed sense of normalcy and peace in their lives.

Everyone struggles at some point in their lives; we are humans, not robots. But sometimes those struggles can become overwhelming, and we don’t know how to manage our fears, feelings, thoughts or behaviors. Here, at Healthy Mentality, we will guide you to face those fears and concerns in a safe environment. We offer traditional in-office therapy, as well as animal-assisted psychotherapy.

Do you feel stuck? Unmotivated? Confused by your thoughts and feelings? Life happens and sometimes it can hit hard. My motivation and passion for counseling stem from an innate desire to help others. We can encounter many trials and tribulations on this journey of life, and often times feel stuck and helpless. I want to help guide you through these challenges to feel empowered, and find the strength to lead a fulfilling life. I have been told I am relatable, empathetic, and provide a calm disposition, especially during times of stress and anxiety.

I provide non-blaming, non-judgmental, and collaborative counseling services, affectionately called “Bubba Counseling”, to male individuals and couples whose lives have been ripped apart due to loss / grief , relational conflict, and shattered dreams. Unresolved pain and fear from "doin' life" fuels anger and addictive behaviors that destroy relationships and turn life into a cardboard dirt sandwich with a side of sawdust. I help men and couples separate themselves (and their friends and family) from the problems that plague their life, allowing people to externalize their issues rather than internalizing them.

I help adults and children struggling with anxiety, depression, and insecurity - transition to feeling safe and secure, while moving forward in life with confidence and trust in themselves. I have worked with children and adults who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, dysfunctional relationships, prenatal/postpartum depression/anxiety, grief , self-worth challenges, addictions to food/drugs/alcohol, and perfectionism.I also have experience working with children and their families with a variety of youth challenges. I will work with you and your child to help negotiate big emotions,

I believe in working collaboratively with a client to help them work through problems and barriers so that they can reach their unique potential. I believe in a positive, solution focused approach, which encourages hope and gratitude related to all of life's lessons.

I offer in-person sessions, both masked and unmasked. My approach to counseling is truly getting to know and understand who my clients are in an open environment. I love having genuine and honest conversations without any judgement to fully connect with my clients. I value humor, transparency, honesty, and self-awareness in his interactions. I want to know what my client’s strengths are and bringing them forward to build off of.
