Nicole Rainey

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Registered Art Therapist

About

My name is Nicole Rainey. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Art Therapist in Tallahassee Florida. After 7 years of providing therapy to children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and life experience, I started Mosaic Creative Counseling. I believe therapy should focus on healing through creative self-expression. As a registered art therapist, I want to help my clients feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves and problem solving through talk, imagery, and creativity. I have experience helping people through a history of trauma, relational and family issues, grief/loss, foster care and adoption concerns. Prior to private practice, my work specifically focused on survivors of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, violence, and sex trafficking/prostitution. I have specific training in Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Adoption Competency, as well as working with survivors of sexual exploitation. My practice Mosaic Creative Counseling provides the Tallahassee Florida community with specialized creative therapy services. After work, I enjoy painting with watercolors or throwing pottery. I love playing with animals and always look forward to traveling.

Cara Lindell

LPC-MHSP

About

Cara is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider and National Certified Counselor. Along with her licensing and training, she is certified in both the Grief Recovery Method ® and the SYMBIS Pre-Marital Assessment. Cara is a graduate of the University of Georgia. After completing her Bachelor’s degree, she completed her Master’s at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta, GA.

Cara works regularly with individuals and couples experiencing a variety of struggles including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, relational challenges, life transitions, trauma, affair recovery, emotional regulation and feelings of intense shame.

Cara believes the most important element in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. Because of this, she works hard to understand each individual as their unique self and create a safe and open space for growth and healing. While she works with a variety of therapeutic approaches, Cara finds most of her work centers around the Psychodynamic theory, recognizing that we all believe and inevitably behave the messages we narrate unconsciously. By understanding these beliefs and messages and how they originated, we can ultimately change and heal in all aspects of our lives.

Mindy Pierce

LPC

About

Mindy Pierce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in private practice with GROW Counseling. She received her MA in Counseling Psychology from Indiana Wesleyan University and her BA from Asbury University.

Her clinical experience includes working with men’s and women’s issues; various relationship issues; pornography and infidelity; substance and process addictions; depression; anxiety; grief; PTSD; personality disorders; parenting stress; survivors of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, complex trauma, secondary trauma, commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking; and those providing services for survivors (first responders, attorneys, therapists, and case workers). She is also trained and experienced in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing).

Mindy has led short-term teams and/or facilitated counseling seminars in Mexico, Uganda, Ukraine, and Sri Lanka. She and her husband spent 18 months living in Sri Lanka and working for a post-tsunami recovery project, where she began her involvement in anti-human trafficking work. Upon returning to the United States, she has worked in a private, residential setting and as a therapist in private practice.

A strong commitment to supporting first responders grew from experiences related to her husband’s years spent in law enforcement. Mindy possesses a deep appreciation for the unique challenges faced by those working on the front lines of law enforcement, fire and rescue, and emergency medical services – understanding the risk of secondary traumatization, addiction, burnout, isolation, and distress in personal relationships.

In 2016, after 14 years of witnessing the restorative impact of healthy, life-giving relationships and the traumatic impact of brokenness around issues related to connection, sex and intimacy, Mindy created STRONGERconnection|cards™, a conversation tool designed for proactively building relationships and preventing disconnection. You can learn more at STRONGERconnectioncards.com.

She and her husband live in the Atlanta area and have three children.
