Welcome! I am Rachel Mims, a Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals through their healing journeys. Whether you are seeking help for trauma, navigating systemic inequalities, or simply looking for a way to improve your mental health, I am here to guide you with compassion and expertise.

 

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with:

• Women and LGBTQ+ individuals who have experienced trauma or whose mental health has been impacted by systemic inequalities.

• Military veterans, including those recovering from combat or sexual trauma.

• Neurodivergent individuals.

• Those who have chronic health conditions.

• Individuals seeking innovative approaches to mental health and wellness.

​

Approach to Therapy

I believe that healing is a personal journey, and no single method works for everyone. My approach is collaborative and focuses on your unique goals, strengths, and preferences. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore what works best for you.

​

To support your growth, I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Evidence-based treatment for addressing trauma and related challenges.

• Art Therapy: A creative and expressive form of therapy that allows you to explore and process emotions in a unique way.

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): A structured mindfulness practice designed to help clients develop awareness and manage stress through meditation, breathing techniques, and other mind

​

What You Can Expect

Therapy with me is tailored to your individual needs. Whether we use the methods you are most comfortable with, intrigued by, or feel you will most benefit from. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights you need to move forward. Our work together will focus on fostering resilience, uncovering strengths, and finding practical solutions to the challenges you face.

**All of my sessions are provided via a secure telehealth platform.**

​

Why Choose Therapy?

Therapy can be a transformative experience, offering a space to heal, grow, and achieve your goals. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for a change, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create a life where you feel supported, confident, and capable.

Out-Of-Network (OON) Insurance Benefits

If I am an out-of-network provider, you can still use your insurance benefits to reduce the cost of therapy—without the hassle of submitting claims yourself. I partner with Thrizer, a service that makes it easier for you to get reimbursed for therapy sessions.

How Thrizer Works

1. Pay Only Your Reduced Rate – After reaching your deductable, instead of paying my full session fee upfront, you’ll only pay your portion (the amount you owe after insurance reimbursement).

2. Thrizer Handles the Claims – Thrizer will immediately pay me in full and then file the insurance claim on your behalf.

3. Reimbursement Goes to Thrizer – Your insurance company will send the reimbursement directly to Thrizer, so you never have to wait for a check or deal with claim submissions. ​

Benefits of Using Thrizer

• No waiting for reimbursement – You only pay your share upfront.

• No paperwork – Thrizer files claims for you.

• Know your costs upfront – Thrizer estimates your out-of-pocket costs before you start.

• Out-of-network benefits can be done without using a company like Thirzer, but this process typically takes about 6 weeks per claim. If you choose this option, a Superbill will be issued to you monthly.  

How to Get Started

1. You sign up for Thrizer at Thrizer’s website.

2. Check your out-of-network benefits through their platform.

3. Start paying reduced rates for therapy without the hassle of submitting claims.
