Honored, grateful, and still taking it all in!

Being recognized as one of Huntsville’s Top 40 Under 40 is such a meaningful milestone. When I started M.A.R.S. Counseling Services, my hope was to create a space where children, teens, young adults, and families could feel seen, supported, and safe. This recognition is such a meaningful reminder of the impact that can happen when passion, purpose, and community come together.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged, referred, supported, and believed in this work. It means more than I can ever say!

Therapists are trained to care for others but what about their own safety?

We’re excited to introduce Guns N Roses, a first-of-its-kind training designed specifically for mental health professionals.

This 4-hour course bridges the gap between clinical safety, de-escalation, and real-world awareness.

What you’ll experience:
🌹 Clinical safety & de-escalation strategies
🌹 Firearm safety and range etiquette
🌹 Guided shooting practice in a controlled environment

This course is about knowledge, confidence, and safety not fear.

What if this becomes real life?
What if we get this space, almost 2k square feet of room just for play-based therapies?

This is the current space we're looking at for the play gym (adjacent to other rooms/offices/bathrooms), so this could be ALL PLAY.

What do you think? Contractor is creating. Leasing negotiations are beginning. And I can't wait to disclose this location with you, Madison!

We are AMPING up full speed for Wildling Summer Camp 2026! We are hiring 5 RBTs at the moment, 2 BCBAs, 1 SLP, and 1 OT. We also have some promising camp counselors as well to join us.

More information on Summer Camp coming in the next few weeks- but we really need to onboard some *perfect* candidates to complete our vision for TEAM BASED therapy models in PLAY, naturalistic environments. Please forward to certified friends and family that might be interested in starting something new, amazing, that meets a huge need in our area- multi-modality approach to our kiddos.

Driving everywhere for each service is a DISSERVICE. Professionals working separately and not together for the good of a child is DISSERVICE.

At Wildflower Wonders, we are ready to whole-love your child, with seamless communication, therapies, and team decisions.
