At Ozark Ridge Behavioral Health, we offer a holistic approach to mental well-being by integrating mindfulness and meditation with advanced biofeedback techniques. This combination empowers you to gain greater control over your physiological responses, enhancing emotional regulation and overall health.
Biofeedback is a therapeutic method that teaches you to control certain bodily functions, such as heart rate, breathing patterns, and muscle tension. By using sensors to monitor these functions, you receive real-time data, enabling you to make conscious adjustments to improve your health.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the variation in time between each heartbeat, influenced by the autonomic nervous system. Higher HRV is associated with better stress resilience and emotional regulation.
You can gain greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and resilience.

Biofeedback is a technique that helps you gain control over certain physiological functions, such as heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension. Using sensors, biofeedback provides real-time data about your body's responses, allowing you to learn how to regulate stress and improve overall well-being.
HRV refers to the natural variations in the time between heartbeats, which reflect the balance between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems. A higher HRV is associated with better stress resilience, emotional regulation, and overall health.
Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and cultivating awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. When combined with biofeedback and HRV training, mindfulness enhances self-regulation, reduces stress, and promotes emotional balance.
These techniques are beneficial for managing:
Yes! We offer telehealth biofeedback and mindfulness coaching. While in-person sessions provide direct sensor monitoring, virtual sessions focus on guided HRV training, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices that you can apply at home.

HeartMath® is a research-based approach that uses heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback to help you manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience.
By learning simple breathing and focus techniques—and seeing your body’s real-time responses—you can “train” your nervous system to recover more quickly from stress.
It’s practical, easy to use, and can be practiced both in sessions and at home, giving you tools you can rely on anytime, anywhere. https://www.heartmath.com/
The Thought Technology DeStress Solution is a biofeedback system that helps you see and improve your heart rate variability (HRV)—a key marker of how well your body handles stress.
It uses a small sensor to track your heart rhythms in real time, then displays the results on a screen. You’ll be guided through simple breathing and focus exercises while watching your HRV improve right in front of you.
By practicing with this tool, you train your nervous system to stay calmer under pressure, recover more quickly after stress, and improve overall emotional balance.
It’s like a personal “stress fitness” program—helping your mind and body work together for better mental health.
Based in Springfield, MO, we provide telehealth counseling services across the entire state of Missouri, including nearby communities such as Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Willard, Strafford, Rogersville, Branson, Bolivar, Marshfield, and beyond.
