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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing quality online telehealth services for adult residents of Florida, Virginia, Vermont, Massachusetts & Georgia. If you feel alone in what you are going through or stuck in the same toxic cycle of negative emotions and behaviors, I can help! Since the start of my career in 2006 I have worked with victims of trauma and abuse, individuals in recovery, women, and high- level executives. My clients come to therapy seeking relief from persistent depression, anxiety, the residual impacts of trauma, low self-esteem, career stress, and the general life stress of living through a pandemic.

My approach to working with clients is genuine, down to earth, practical, and always informed by evidence-based practices. The therapy hour quickly becomes a time when clients can share their deepest fears and concerns without fear of judgment. Clients walk away with practical techniques specific to their personal goals.

Life's demands don't stop when there is a pandemic, or we experience a crisis or loss. It can be easy to neglect our own mental wellness, feel disconnected, become overwhelmed or feel trapped by our circumstances. You deserve to be seen. To live a life that is intentional, inspired, and peaceful. Seeking counseling is a brave step in the right direction.

Sheri is an Licensed Professional Counselor who has focused on working primarily with individual adults, who are seeking help with relationships, self-esteem, trauma, chronic illness, anxiety or depression. She also works with spouses experiencing the demands of intense executive life styles and also C Suite women. Sheri completed a Masters in Professional Counseling from Richmont Graduate School in Atlanta, with specialized course work in the application of Christian Spirituality in Counseling.

Sheri’s approach in counseling is to partner with the client in a collaborative way to help them grow in self-leadership of mind, body, and spirit. She works with common obstacles which prevent us from growing into wholeness, some examples are traumas of the past, boundary conflicts, negative self-talk, emotional burdens, health issues, and difficult in patterns of relationship. Deep listening and empathy, together with sound clinical knowledge are the tools Sheri uses to provide a safe haven to explore issues interfering with the client’s goals and desires for life.

Believing that each client is a unique individual, Sheri collaborates with them to determine what specific plan and techniques are best suited for them. She pulls from mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotional regulation practices. Attachment and family systems theories are foundational to her work since identities and experiences largely result from our early influences. At the request of the client, Sheri integrates prayer and Biblical principles in the therapy room.

Sheri has been trained and certified with Christian Healing Ministries, has interned with the Amen Clinic, and has assisted at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. She also serves as a facilitator with the CEO Forum's Spiritual Leadership Institute for CEO women.

My name is Hannah Simmons and I am an associate licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been in practice for two and half years and work with a variety of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, women's issues, infertility, grief and loss, and life transitions. I work with clients from all backgrounds and walks of life as well as all ages form 6 and up. I use a mix of solution-focused brief therapy and narrative therapy to help my clients gain the tools and strength they need to use these skills in their daily life.

I have been supporting parents in every job or role I’ve had in adulthood whether I knew it at the time or not. My clinical work began working with teenagers in the inpatient setting. I noticed that there would be times where patients would become stable while in the hospital and then we would discharge them, only for them to return a short time later. I realized we needed to be working with the family as a whole. Then I began working with younger children, thinking if I intercepted my clients at a younger age, I could potentially prevent the struggles I saw on the inpatient unit. I slowly worked my way down in age, working in the infant and early childhood realm in mental health care. One day, I had a lightbulb moment. I noticed a trend in all of these settings: the most important and impactful work is done with parents. Most mental health difficulties in children (and even many adults!) can be traced back to early childhood. Those experiences either tend to help or hinder our roles as parents.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. My therapeutic style is very person-centered. I want sessions to be beneficial for you and will cater towards your needs. I have completed training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also incorporate art therapy, sand tray therapy, and play therapy into sessions. Just like every human, every therapy session is unique!

My formal education focused on psychology and clinical social work. My professional experiences have been in public schools, hospitals and outpatient clinics, the Military, international nonprofits, universities and various community settings. I currently have a private practice with offices in Napa, in addition to my virtual office, where I provide "teletherapy" to clients in both California and Texas.
​
My therapy training began in public schools with special education, K-12. I counseled children with mental health concerns and led life skills groups. I worked intensively with adolescents (and their caregivers) in alternative school programs burdened by emotional concerns.
​
I spent most of the next decade working in hospitals, both pediatric and adult, assessing and responding to a variety of issues including devastating diagnoses, chronic health conditions, end of life issues, infertility and pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault and mental health crises. During this time, I taught and supervised students for the University of Texas at Austin Graduate School of Social Work. After ten years, I shifted out of the hospital setting to therapist lead of an integrated behavioral healthcare network where I helped build a program for providing mental health and case management to a pediatric and family medical practice serving 30,000 low income families.
​
An opportunity led me to England for two years, where I managed a prevention and education campaign related to new parent support and family violence prevention. I educated US Air Force members and families on topics such as stress and anger management, PTSD, resilience, healthy dating, couple's communication and parenting, while co-facilitating support groups on chronic medical conditions. During this time, I also worked with Airmen and families on managing stress before and after deployments and transitioning to civilian life after a military career.
​
After a brief return to the U.S. to study Spanish at the Defense Language Institute of Monterey, I moved to South America and worked for the U.S. Embassy while volunteering with a Chilean nonprofit. During this time, I researched advances in counseling and coaching methodology. Although I have a working knowledge of Spanish, I do not provide services in Spanish at this time.
​
In 2014, I relocated to Napa, pregnant again after experiencing pregnancy loss. After treating parents for postpartum depression and anxiety, I experienced it first-hand and became aware of a need for expanded maternal mental health support in my community. So I added services to my private practice that would address infertility, pregnancy and postpartum mental health support, Moxie Motherhood, and co-founded a pregnant and postpartum peer support program.
​​
For almost two decades, I have honed my clinical expertise from problem-focused to possibility-focused. I remain current on research and active in the professional dialogue of wellness, balancing my time between counseling, coaching, teaching, volunteering and parenting. Read more here.
​
I welcome the opportunity to support you.

Rachel Hilker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing Telehealth therapy services to clients residing in Virginia. Rachel specializes in providing Gottman Method Couple Therapy to married and premarital clients and trauma-informed individual therapy for women.

Children and young adults have such unique issues to navigate in today’s world. As a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, I want to create a space for children and young adults to process where they are no matter what that looks like. As a therapist, I specialize in working with clients that struggle with anxiety, depression, life changes and adjustment to different phases and stages of life. Young people are constantly growing and changing. I work with clients to process their growing pains through self-expression.

As a former school counselor, I have a heart for helping young people overcome challenges and realize their strengths. Expressive arts and creativity are often at the core of our sessions. Whether that is writing, drawing, or other forms of art, we can use those skills to help you process and externalize even the most challenging emotions. My biggest goal is for you to be able to utilize your passions in the healing process. Ultimately, therapy is a brave space where I guide you in taking ownership of your story and experiences. It would be an honor to start that journey with you!

When I am not with clients, I spend my time supporting my alma mater, the University of Georgia! Go dawgs!!
