About Us

---

The Mind Body Soul Collective (The MBS Collective) is more than a clinic — it’s a movement rooted in the belief that women deserve integrated, whole-person care that honors every part of who they are. Currently, we are offering mental health counseling and referring out for other services, but we are working day and night on our larger business plan to bring more services to you! Let’s talk about our vision...

Located in Lincoln, Nebraska, The MBS Collective will grow into a multidisciplinary wellness clinic offering a truly comprehensive approach to women’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. By blending modern clinical care with time-honored holistic practices, the Collective will meet women where they are — and helps them get to where they want to be.

We are proud to be building something unlike anything else in the region: a transformative space that offers meaningful care, cultivates lasting community, and supports deep healing.

The MBS Collective was founded on a simple but powerful idea: women deserve access to coordinated, compassionate, and personalized care — all in one place. Our integrative model will combine licensed mental health care, medical spa services, and a variety of complementary therapies designed to restore balance and foster well-being.

Our services will include:

· Psychotherapy

· Life and Business Coaching

· Aesthetics and medical spa services

· Medical weight loss programs

· Naturopathy, homeopathy and acupuncture

· Therapeutic massage

· Reiki energy healing

· Yoga and movement practices

· Women’s wellness education and workshops

· Community building activities and social time

We are passionate about bridging the gap between Eastern and Western healing traditions, in a judgement-free zone. This balanced, personalized approach will allow us to treat the whole person — not just isolated symptoms — and provide clients with multiple pathways to healing, growth, and self-care.

The MBS Collective will not just be a service provider — it will be a community hub for women. Within our welcoming and inclusive environment, women will find support, education, and connection.

Through workshops, wellness events, and group experiences, we will offer more than appointments. At the collective, we will provide a sense of belonging, support, and community. Our space will provide a place for personal exploration, shared learning, and growth — empowering women to take ownership of their well-being and to support one another on the journey.

This sense of community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re here to walk alongside each woman, helping her feel seen, heard, and valued — not just as a client, but as a whole person.

We are deeply rooted in values that shape our services, culture, and relationships. At The MBS Collective, we are committed to:

· Empowerment– Supporting women in reclaiming and reimagining their health and wellness

· Holistic Well-Being– Nurturing balance across mind, body, and spirit

· Inclusivity– Creating a welcoming space for all women

· Transformation– Facilitating personal growth and positive change

· Integrative Approach– Blending the best of Western and Eastern healing traditions

· Personalization– Providing care tailored to each woman’s unique needs

· Self-Care– Encouraging sustainable practices that promote long-term wellness

· Connection– Building community and social support

· Learning & Growth– Offering education, resources, and opportunities for development

· Safety– Ensuring a safe, judgment-free space where every woman can thrive

The vision behind The MBS Collective is led by two dynamic women who bring decades of experience in academia, leadership, mental health, business operations, wellness, and community engagement- Dr. Karee Dunn and Katherine Frickel.

Dr. Karee Dunn is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Provider (LIMHP) with an extensive background in both clinical practice and academia. Before relocating to Lincoln in 2022, she spent 16 years as a professor of Educational Psychology and Statistics at the University of Tennessee and the University of Arkansas. As both principal investigator and co-investigator on over five million dollars in externally funded research projects, Dr. Dunn developed advanced expertise in strategic planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, regulatory compliance, and data-informed decision-making.

Since moving to Nebraska, she has been an integral part of a local integrative health practice, further developing her commitment to holistic, patient-centered care. Her knowledge of research-based methodology and her background in education provide The MBS Collective with a strong foundation in program development, clinical excellence, and innovative care delivery. Dr. Dunn’s leadership is instrumental in shaping a values-driven, evidence-informed practice model that puts clients first.

Katherine “Katie” Frickel brings more than 20 years of leadership and operational experience to The MBS Collective. A Lincoln native with deep roots in the local wellness community, Mrs. Frickel’s expertise spans mental health operations, aesthetics, team development, and strategic growth.

Her early career in the skincare industry began at Origins Cosmetics and Skincare, where she gained direct experience in aesthetics and client care. She later spent seven years at Verizon Wireless, eventually becoming a Technical Support Supervisor and being selected for both the Midwest Mobility leadership program and Verizon’s national women’s leadership initiative.

Her transition into behavioral health marked a pivotal shift. As the Multi-Systemic Therapy Coordinator at Mid-Plains Center for Behavioral Health and later as a Practice Manager at another large counseling practice in Lincoln, she helped grow and operate integrative care systems there. These experiences and gained insights directly inform her passion and leadership for The MBS Collective. Mrs. Frickel’s multifaceted skill set ensures seamless operations and visionary growth. Her deep understanding of the Lincoln market and passion for holistic care make her a cornerstone of the Collective’s success.

The Mind Body Soul Collective is working to define what women’s wellness can and should be — not just in Lincoln, but as a model for how care can evolve across communities. We are proud to offer something that doesn’t currently exist in our region: a truly integrated, inclusive, and empowering space for women to heal, grow, connect, and thrive.

Whether you’re looking for counseling, physical rejuvenation, spiritual balance, or simply a place to feel seen and supported — we look forward to welcoming you.

This is more than care.

This is community.

This is The Mind Body Soul Collective.

Here’s to healing, connection, and the journey ahead. 

See you soon,

Katie and Karee
