Meet the Team

Jodi Huffman, M.Ed, BCBA, Owner

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Masters in Early Childhood Special Education, and a yoga teacher certification. My approach to wellness and therapy is rooted in holistic principles and research-driven practices.

My journey began in 2004 when I first started practicing yoga, taking child development classes and working directly with children. Forming meaningful connections with others has always been a driving force in my life and my work.

My experience in this field spans 20 years and include roles such as a classroom teacher, behavior technician, teacher trainer, team leader, and parent advocate. These roles have strengthened my passion for working directly with families in a heart-centered, holisitic manner.

I believe fully in honoring each child and family exactly as they are. I find so much joy and fulfillment from weaving together my formal education, wellness practices, and hands-on experience to provide holistic, inclusive, family-centered therapy. At Mindful Me Therapy, everyone is welcomed and embraced – you belong here.

Tori Hess, M.Ed, Kids Group Program Leader

I possess an Early Childhood Special Education teacher license granted by the Colorado Department of Education, allowing me to cater to individuals aged 0-21. My undergraduate studies led to a major in American History complemented by a minor in Cultural Anthropology. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's in Education with a dual emphasis on Teacher Leadership and Special Education.

Since obtaining my bachelor's degree in 2013, my professional journey has spanned various roles within the field of education. Progressing from a school librarian to a paraeducator, I eventually assumed the role of a special education teacher for kindergarten through fourth grade. Presently, I am engaged as an Early Childhood Special Education teacher, concentrating on the developmental needs of children aged 3-5 in Carbondale.

I am a firm advocate for a holistic approach that emphasizes a child's capabilities rather than limitations. My commitment lies in acknowledging and addressing the unique needs of each child and their family. I firmly believe in fostering learning through the mediums of play and connection.
