What is Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) ?
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based program designed to help you manage stress, anxiety, and chronic pain through mindfulness practices. Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR combines meditation, body awareness, and gentle movements to help you respond to life’s challenges with greater calm and clarity.

After signing up, I got help with finding the right therapist for me and she was wonderful. Maria was kind and understanding while also being very action based. She took into account my religious beliefs and I couldn’t be happier with the session. I’ve already signed up to meet with her again.
I loved ReachLink! My therapist was incredible. I loved her! Thank you thank you!
My wife and I were seeking therapy to reconnect and improve our relationship. Although we've only completed the first session of counseling I will say that it was a step in the right direction. Our therapist Sandra took time to get to know each of us and initiated conductive conversation. Looking forward for more. Scheduling has been very easy. I would recommend.
Intake and scheduling were very easy. Brian was able to get a little bit of information and set me up with a great provider.

No stress no headache. They listen to you find what works for you and it’s a smooth ride! Thank you so much ReachLink for everything!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Reachlink is super helpful with scheduling our appointments and are able to accommodate our busy schedule. They set us up with a solid therapist and our rate is very reasonable for help outside of network. I recommend it for an easy and cost effective way to get therapy.
Just never thought I’d need a therapist but Carla is a rare find. While we don’t speak on a regular basis, when we do, for me, it’s like talking with a friend. It’s always a pleasure to talk to her and by the end of the conversation , I’m seeing things differently.
ReachLink has excellent customer service and makes scheduling so easy and convenient! I’ve had such horrible luck with finding the right therapist for me. I felt like the first therapist they linked me with wasn’t a good fit for me, but they listened to my needs and found me another therapist who has been just an absolute God-send. I just wish I would’ve found this help/ReachLink years ago!
