Mind the Gap Therapy and Counsulting

History

In 2016, we moved to Nashville to attend graduate school. Kaylin went to Belmont University for her Master's in Occupational Therapy and Dakota went to Vanderbilt University for his Master's in Human Development Counseling. We fell in love a second time: with the Middle Tennessee Community. 

 After graduation in 2016, we each began our careers anew. Kaylin developed the first occupational therapy program of its kind in the entire nation by implementing OT services in a recovery court setting. Dakota began an interdisciplinary practice, seeing mental health clients in a medical setting. It was in these places that we ran into the same problem.

​Health professions traditionally exist in silos: isolated from one another and deeply specialized. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but it means that important pieces of our clients overall healthcare slipped through the gaps between services. So an idea was born: to offer mental health services that spanned the space between mental and physical domains. OT is often utilized in a physical health setting and counseling is primarily utilized in a mental health setting. By combining and collaborating, we weave together a safety net.

​We invite you to join us in cultivating a soft landing place for all those that slip through the gaps in our healthcare system. We invite you to help us Mind The Gap.
