MISSION STATEMENT
MindWorksTherapy, LLC, is a counseling service located on the campus of Wesley Towers. I am Willie Redman, a licensed, clinical social worker, and have recently opened MindWorks Therapy for several reasons. There are times in a person’s life when all they can see is darkness, all they can feel is pain, and all they hear are words of shame and guilt. During these crucial times we all need someone to turn to for help and guidance. I am a Christian counselor and therefore have a Christian worldview and operate from a biblical standpoint. I am well educated and possess vast experience. Most importantly I pray with my clients, for my clients, and offer on going support. It is my intention to be available during times of crisis rather than have clients call an 800 number and speak to someone they have never met before about very personal issues. The number of sessions, length of sessions, and frequency of visits are tailored for each individual client. I became a teacher for children who struggled with social and academic issues. After teaching several years I knew it was important I pursue a degree in social work. I have a master’s degree in social work from Washburn University. I am also a licensed at the clinical level. I retired in 2016 from the public school arena and opened MindWorks Therapy that same year.
Ms. Willie Redman is located on the
Wesley Towers Campus 910 Coronado Drive, Hutchinson Ks.

Mind and Matters is an informational and educational radio program about learning and aging. It features best practices, research and real world application of techniques and methods to improve learning and general performance as we age. The matters of life and of learning are varied and interesting. They are common to everyone. The purpose of Mind and Matters is for listeners to add life to their years through the information discussed on the program. You will hear about the mind, brain, and learning throughout the life span on Mind and Matters. Because aging is about life and learning is a way for us to improve our life, we explore research and best practices in learning and aging. If you care for someone who may have a challenge in their memory, attention, or learning as they age, you may be interested in joining Mind and Matters on Saturday mornings at 11:05am. The show includes topics, research and discussion of all things learning and all things aging.
There are three segments to the show:
The first segment emphasizes a targets topic selected from research or published materials. It addresses a wide variety of matters related to learning and aging.
The second features guests in person or by telephone.
The third segment is a single segment that summarizes earlier discussions and presents cases from practice files or other sources or highlights published case reviews or listener comments and inquiries.
A short feature of show is Brain Point” which consists of a 60 second spotlight on a selected learning or aging fact or key point. In this segment we will make a point about the brain – something we call Brain Point. We want listeners to use this information to learn and apply their brain in new ways. Brain Point gives a quick summary of research, or other key points from recent literature regarding learning, aging and the brain.
