Historic Charm Meets Modern Mental Health: Waxahachie's Growing Community

Historic Charm Meets Modern Mental Health: Waxahachie's Growing Community

Waxahachie has soul. The historic downtown, the Gingerbread Trail, the community pride that comes from deep roots in Ellis County—this is a place where neighbors know each other and values run deep. It's also a community experiencing real growth, with young families moving in, established families adapting to change, and a generation of young people navigating school and life in a town full of opportunity.

Mind Above Matter is committed to bringing real mental health expertise to Waxahachie, with our location at 51 North Gate Drive. We provide IOP and PHP programs with the clinical sophistication of a major center, but with the personal touch of a community-focused clinic. And through our partnership with Waxahachie ISD, we bring the iMatter program directly into schools, supporting young people where they learn and grow.

What are IOP and PHP, and How Can They Help You?

IOP in Waxahachie: Clinical Expertise That Fits Your Community

Our IOP program offers 9-20 hours per week of professional mental health treatment with flexible scheduling that respects Waxahachie's pace. Whether you're working, in school, managing a business, or raising a family—you can access intensive clinical care without upending your life.

Individual therapy with a licensed therapist. Group therapy with others navigating similar challenges. Psychiatric services and medication management if needed. Crisis planning and real-world coping skills. Evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, dual diagnosis, and behavioral health concerns.

Waxahachie residents appreciate that our team understands their community. We're not corporate chain clinicians parachuting in—we're professionals committed to building genuine relationships with the people and families we serve.

PHP in Waxahachie: When You Need More Than Outpatient Care

PHP provides 5-6 days per week, 6-8 hours daily of intensive, coordinated treatment. It's perfect for acute mental health crises, transitions out of hospitalization, or when substance use has escalated beyond what IOP can address.

Think of it as a structured therapeutic day, all designed by one clinical team with one goal: your stability and recovery. You go home each evening, but you get the intensive support and monitoring that serious mental health treatment requires.

For Waxahachie families, PHP is often the bridge between crisis and lower-intensity care—getting stabilized quickly so you can return to your job, your family, your life, with solid footing.

iMatter in Waxahachie ISD: Prevention That Works in Your Schools

The smartest mental health intervention is prevention. That's why Mind Above Matter partnered with Waxahachie ISD to bring iMatter directly into schools.

iMatter means licensed mental health counselors are working in Waxahachie schools, providing early intervention and support. Students can access counseling without the stigma or hassle of going to a clinic. Teachers and counselors can refer struggling students for immediate professional support. We coordinate with school staff to support both mental health and academic success.

For Waxahachie families with school-age children, iMatter means your child has access to professional mental health support at school—no waiting lists, no transportation problems, no embarrassment of driving to a clinic.

I don't think I will ever be able to adequately articulate what Mind Above Matter (Burleson - Virtual) did for me in a time where I needed something so desperately. At the time, I didn't know what I needed, or how anything could help, but thank the Lord I was directed to MAB. The program literally saved my life and set me back up for success. I 100% feel like I've been able to take back my life with the help from the therapists, psychiatrist, and program that I was apart of in my time at MAB. If you are thinking about starting this program, or referring someone you love to this program, don't hesitate - do it. I promise, you will not regret it.

We had the absolute best experience working with Ally. She was my child’s therapist and made such a positive impact on her life, not just in her progress, but in her confidence and overall happiness. From the very beginning, Ally made our entire family feel included in the process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, welcomed our questions, and always made us feel heard.
Her kindness, patience, and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and deeply invested in helping each child succeed. We are so grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist.

Graduating from the PHP and IOP program at Mind Over Matter has been a life-changing experience for me. From the very beginning, I felt truly supported and cared for. The therapists here are absolutely incredible — compassionate, skilled, and genuinely invested in helping you grow and heal.

Each session felt meaningful and safe, and the team created an environment where I could open up, work through challenges, and actually see progress. What stood out the most was how much the therapists went above and beyond — they didn’t just “do their job,” they made me feel seen, heard, and understood in a way that’s rare to find.

If you’re looking for a program that provides structure, encouragement, and outstanding therapists who truly care, I can’t recommend Mind Over Matter enough. This place gave me the tools and confidence I needed to move forward, and I’ll always be grateful for my time here.
