Evidence-based therapy for children, teens, adults, and couples — integrated with mindfulness and somatic practices
You have so much to take care of and people to care for. But you are missing out on your own life. You feel hopeless when you wonder if you will ever feel like your old self again, the person who had confidence and energy. It just feels like all you do is manage crises after crisis. It's wearing you down with how much you give and you just want to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You’re ready for a change, to breathe freely again, and to feel the weight of everything lifting off you.
At the Memphis Center for Mindful Living, we support you with our counseling services, as well as your whole family. Through our counseling for adults, children, teens, and couples, we offer the support and tools needed when you or your loved ones are struggling with stress or relationship issues, as well as anxiety, depression, past trauma, addiction, chronic health issues, or the unique challenges of being neurodivergent.
We are also excited to offer you services not generally available at counseling centers, which expand on our counseling services and support our mission of developing a vibrant and mindful life for everyone we serve. We offer mindfulness classes, yoga classes, retreats, and nature connection events which deepen our ability to regulate our mind and body, leaving us restored and reconnected to joy and hope.
We invite you to contact us about your particular needs so we can answer your questions and connect you with our counseling team member who is the best fit for you or your family. We also invite you to explore our site and learn more about our offerings and some of the specialized therapy approaches we offer. We look forward to joining your journey into vibrant living.

You Can Heal.

**Mindfulness Is More Than a Buzzword—It’s a Path to Healing**
It’s not about clearing your mind or pretending to be calm. It’s about learning how to *meet* yourself—with curiosity, compassion, and less pressure.
In our work together, you’ll discover how to:
Soothe your nervous system with grounding practices
Ease physical symptoms of stress like headaches, fatigue, and tension
Interrupt spirals of overthinking and self-criticism
Listen to your body without fear or frustration
Reconnect with your creativity, intuition, and calm
All you need is a willingness to slow down—and a guide to help you come back to yourself.

What Others are Saying About The Memphis Center for Mindful Living

I've participated in one day in person and online mindfulness retreats with Dr. Balentine, as well as a weekend retreat and many meditation sessions. She uses mindful attention to breath, food, nature, sound and movement as tools to manage and reduce stress and anxiety. Her friendly and accepting personality creates a warm, welcoming environment.
Linley S.
Dr. Balentine’s mindfulness class helped me reduce anxiety and better manage day-to-day stress. An added benefit has been learning to be more present in the moment and in relationships. I’d highly recommend the Memphis Center for Mindful Living!
Kim E.
I attended a weekend retreat and it was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend and I hope to attend more events in the future.
Tonya W.
I am remarkably pleased with the success of the Mindfulness program for our students at Maxine Smith STEAM Academy. Through grade-level assemblies, small group sessions, and weekly Mindful Moments videos, Dr. Balentine's investment in the social-emotional well-being of our students, throughout virtual learning and presently, has been invaluable for their optimism, self-esteem, and interpersonal development.
