What MIND OVER MATTER THERAPY does

Mind Over Matter Therapy is a privately held outpatient mental health practice headquartered at 760 Lynnhaven Pkwy, Suite 200, Virginia Beach, Virginia, founded and operated by Michelle Hobson, LPC, with practice leadership support from Sarah Tackett, LPC. The practice serves individuals, children, adolescents, families, and couples in the Hampton Roads region, delivering services in person and via telehealth to clients across Virginia, DC, and Maryland. Clinical care combines evidence-based talk therapies (Talk Therapy, Play Therapy, EMDR, DBT-informed, CBT-informed, Trauma-Informed, Mindfulness/Somatic) with an integrated neurotherapy suite built on the NeuroField System — QEEG brain mapping (19-channel cap), neurofeedback brain training, and transcranial electrical stimulation modalities (tRNS, tDCS, tACS) plus pEMF therapy. In 2025 the practice added Medication Management, expanding into psychiatric prescribing.

The business model is a professional services, fee-for-service private practice: per-session billing at $75 (Technician), $100 (Resident in Counseling), and $125 (LPC); brain mapping procedures at $250–$500; and a QEEG Report at $850. Revenue is diversified across cash-pay, sliding-scale (for qualifying individuals), HSA-eligible neurofeedback spend, and in-network claims with Anthem, Optima, Tricare, and UnitedHealthcare. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via local SEO, organic social (Facebook, Instagram), the TherapyPortal scheduling platform, and a free one-hour neurofeedback consultation used as a lead magnet. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed outside capital, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no patents or awards on record. A clinical supervision revenue stream for LPC and MFT graduate interns and counseling residents is operated alongside patient care, and a co-located consultant ecosystem (Dr. Renee Brush, Sandcastle Kids Counseling, and NeuroField-affiliated advisors) extends specialty depth without multi-site expansion.
