The Story behind Mind The Gap TN ...
In 2016, Kaylin and Dakota Lawrence moved to Nashville to attend graduate school. Kaylin went to Belmont University for her Master's in Occupational Therapy while Dakota attended Vanderbilt for a Master's in Human Development Counseling. They fell in love with the Middle Tennessee Community.

After graduation, they 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 they ran into the same problem.

Health professions traditionally exist in silos: isolated from one another and deeply specialized. This means 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, Kaylin and Dakota weave together a safety net. They are cultivating a soft landing place for all those that slip through the gaps in our healthcare system. Thus the name: Mind The Gap Therapy and Counseling.

Ready to thrive? It's time to nurture both your mind and your body for the full, holistic healing you deserve.​ Contact Mind The Gap Therapy and Counseling to get started.

Calling our community! Times are tough right now. If you have a few extra bucks to spare, we have hungry families in need of assistance. This is a great way to give back to our Middle TN community. You don't have to feed an entire family, a little can go a long way.

At Mind The Gap, our mission has always been to help mind the gaps in our community — and this November, one of the biggest gaps we see is the loss of SNAP benefits.

Many of our neighbors will struggle to feed their families this month. While food banks do incredible work, they can’t fully replace a month’s worth of groceries or the dignity of choosing your own food.

That’s why we’re organizing a Grocery Gift Card Drive 🛒💳 — collecting cards to stores like Kroger, Aldi, and Trader Joe’s to give directly to local families impacted by the SNAP pause.

Rutherford County is full of generous hearts. If you’re able, please join us in supporting our neighbors. And if you need help replacing your SNAP benefits this month, please reach out using the contact info on our flyer.
