Who We Are

Mind Over Matter Team
Mind Over Matter Therapy was founded and is owned by Michelle Hobson, LPC, and supported in practice leadership by Sarah Tackett, LPC. Located in Virginia Beach, our growing private practice is home to a compassionate team of Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Residents in Counseling who are committed to helping clients achieve emotional wellness and personal growth.
We provide a warm, client-centered environment where individuals, children, teens, and families feel supported, empowered, and understood. Our clinicians build strong, professional relationships through trust, integrity, and individualized care.
We adhere to the highest standards of ethical care as required by the Virginia Board of Counseling and maintain full compliance with HIPAA privacy regulations. Your health, safety, and privacy are our top priorities. We offer a wide range of therapy services and customized treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

Our Mission

Neurotherapy
At Mind Over Matter Therapy in Virginia Beach, we believe that healing individuals leads to healing communities. Our mission is to create lasting change through compassionate, trauma-informed counseling tailored to both individual and community needs.
