Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, or addiction, I can offer you a safe place to heal and grow. Looking into therapy is a brave first step in taking control of your life, and no matter what you are going through, I’ll meet you with compassion and respect. I believe my holistic approach to treating the mind, body, and soul—something I am very passionate about—can help you discover your best self.
I believe the ability to form close attachments and maintain satisfying relationships is at the core of a fulfilling life. That’s why I often work through a cognitive behavioral/emotional attachment lens, utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster trust and connection. And because trauma is often at the root of many people’s pain, I’m also trained in EMDR.
My mission is to help you feel safe so you can tell your story, heal past emotional wounds, and find relief in the present. I have experience in various mental health settings, including residential, partial hospitalization, and individual therapy. As a trauma-informed therapist, I love working with adults dealing with anxiety, addiction, and trauma.

With over 19 years of experience in counseling, I am dedicated to helping others navigate life's challenges. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable environment where you can express yourself freely and work towards positive change. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, or any other issue, I am here to listen and provide the support and coping skills you need to improve your daily functioning.

In my role as counselor I am honored to support individuals who are struggling with various aspects of life. Perhaps dealing with strong anxiety or depression, negative self talk, relationship issues, work or school pressures, unhealthy habits and poor self care. Does any of this sound like you? I will work with you to understand what is happening, design strategies to address your specific issues, and work step by step with you as we remove the barriers and build new and better ways of being you. Healthy, happy and connected to the world around you.
Encompassing compassion and practicality, I use cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and short-term solution-focused therapies, often in my practice. I am EMDR trained, but prefer to use EFT (a cognitive somatic tapping technique), shown to help individuals integrate and heal from past traumatic events, life experience, difficult memories, present food cravings, stress, anxiety, and phobias. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients process certain issues and find solutions. My blending of cognitive and mind-body practice creates a unique healing experience for clients.
I am eager to help you thrive in all areas of your life, and will offer you the tools to make effective and lasting changes. I look forward to working with you towards the peace and health you desire. For clients who prefer speaking Spanish, I have a good command of the language. I am licensed in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Maryland and Vermont.

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 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.

My mode for counseling stems from the desire to find the place of compassion within everyone’s story. We are all broken people in need of healing, but often our own judgements of ourselves prevents us from seeing the places we need love and insight. Therapy offers a safe space to process emotions and thoughts. Here, we are all able to uncover the root cause for the issues in our lives.
I work from a trauma-informed perspective, working through current issues and the deeper beliefs, thoughts and emotions that influence our choices. I specialize in boundary work, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transition, death and grief, spirituality issues, substance use, adjustment to change and changing cultures. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and approach counseling from a multicultural perspective. I also provide counseling with christian values and provide counseling without based on client’s preference and value system. I look forward to meeting you!
