If planning, organizing, starting tasks, managing time, or staying focused feels overwhelming—you’re not alone. Executive functioning challenges can make everyday life feel exhausting and frustrating.

Occupational Therapy (OT) offers practical, supportive help for these struggles. OT focuses on real-life strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

OT can help with:

- Getting started on tasks
- Staying organized
- Managing time and routines
- Improving focus and follow-through
- Regulating emotions and reducing overwhelm

Rather than pushing “productivity” or willpower, OT helps you build systems that actually fit your life. This can be especially helpful for neurodivergent individuals or those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or chronic stress.

Schedule a free consult today to see how OT can assist you or your child.

We partner with Nyla and Rise Wellness of Indiana to help connect our clients with affordable and client-centered medication management. With insurance premiums increasing for many, this would be a great opportunity to provide yourself consistent and predictable care!

I’m now offering a $45/month mental health membership for adults needing ongoing medication management. It includes one follow-up every 3 months, secure portal support, and predictable pricing. New patients: $200 down plus $45/month. Established patients: $45/month. Additional visits are $100 and therapy can be added for $90. ADHD testing remains separate and billed à la carte. This option is ideal for those who are uninsured, have high deductibles, or want steady care without surprise costs. I remain committed to accessible, affirming mental health support for all.

🤝 We've been making friends! 🤝

At Orenda we enjoy meeting other professionals whose work and perspectives align with ours and compliment the therapeutic work that we do.

Hope Chiropractic uses a nervous system based approach to decrease symptoms which is very similar to the polyvagal approaches that some of our therapists use - pretty neat, huh?!

🚨 Feeling sluggish, disconnected, or overwhelmed? 🚨

You might be experiencing a dorsal vagal state, a natural "shutdown" response of your nervous system when it perceives high stress or threat. Think of it like your body's way of hitting the pause button for protection.While this response is adaptive, getting stuck in this state can leave you feeling drained and unable to engage fully.

The good news? Gentle movement can be a powerful way to help your nervous system "come back online" and shift into a more regulated state.

Here's why movement helps:
✳️ Signals Safety: Slow, rhythmic movements signal to your body that you're safe and not in immediate danger.
✳️ Releases Tension: Physical activity helps release pent-up tension and energy associated with the dorsal vagal response.
✳️ Increases Body Awareness: Gentle movement brings you back into your body, fostering a sense of presence and connection.
✳️ Stimulates the Vagus Nerve: Specific types of movement, like gentle stretching, walking, or rocking, can directly stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating your nervous system.

Try this:
✳️ Take a slow, mindful walk, paying attention to the sensations in your body.
✳️ Gently sway or rock back and forth.
✳️ Do some slow, deep stretches.
✳️ Engage in a calming movement practice like yoga or Tai Chi.

✨ Remember, be patient and kind to yourself. Shifting out of a dorsal vagal state takes time and gentle persistence. Experiment with the following movements to find what feels best for your body.

Understanding your nervous system can be a game-changer for reducing stress!

✨ Polyvagal Theory shows us how the vagus nerve – a vital link between brain and body – shapes our feelings of safety and stress.
✨ When safe, we engage socially and feel calm. When threatened, we react with "fight-or-flight" or shutdown. This can explain why stress can linger even when we're not in immediate danger.
✨ Empower yourself with vagus nerve exercises! Simple techniques like deep breathing, humming, and mindful movement can activate this nerve, communicating safety to your system and helping to reduce stress responses.
✨ Give these exercises a try and tune into what your body tells you before, during, and after.
