Rachel Mims (she/her)

I served 10.5 years on active duty in the U.S. Army. I am passionate about helping other veterans so I have tailored my training and experiences to best serve this community. I have worked with veterans and their family members for 7 years. I have focused on working with those who are dealing with post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma.

I think that we all need multiple modes of healing in order to be our best selves. As such, I am trained in art therapy, horticulture therapy, and traditional talk therapy methods. I use art and nature in my own self-care practice, and it helps ground me and keep me going during stressful times. Let’s work together to find out what works for you!

I am a board certified art therapist and I have been practicing for over 7 years with clients with a variety of mental health diagnoses, but I have focused on treating trauma. I use art in my own self-care practice so I know firsthand how beneficial it can be. You don’t have to be an artist to do art therapy. Let’s work together to find something that helps you access your inner creativity and experience the healing power of creative expression.

i have been trained to provide two evidence based trauma treatments: cognitive processing therapy, and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. I have worked with a lot o clients experiencing ptsd as a result of combat trauma, military sexual trauma, childhood sexual assault, and domestic violence.

I have worked with veterans and their family members for 7 years. I am a veteran myself so I understand military culture in an intimate way. I know what it is like to serve and then leave the service. I am passionate about heaping my fellow veterans live their best lives.

I enjoy working with women on a variety of topics, including but not limited to: relationship issues, body image struggles, developing healthy boundaries, knowing when and how to trust someone, self esteem, and trauma. I’m also aware of the fact that women often experience discrimination and systemic inequality. Let’s talk about these issues and find a solution together.

I have found CBT to be useful in helping clients with a wide range of concerns. It is especially useful when focusing on healing from trauma, anxiety, or depression. CBT is based on the idea that when something happens, we have thoughts about it, resulting in feelings and actions. The best part of CBT is that it teaches you skills to use to help yourself so that you are not dependent on therapy forever!
