Greeting!
I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
I help men who feel stuck, behind in life, or disconnected from themselves. If you find yourself overthinking, avoiding things you know matter, or struggling to stay consistent, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll understand what’s keeping you stuck and build a path forward that feels clear and manageable.
My name is Quin Rainey, and I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 15 years, supporting a wide variety of individuals on their journeys toward healing and growth. Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people from all walks of life as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their inner strength. My dream client in therapy is someone who is ready and open to change—an adult or couple who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, but who holds a genuine desire to grow, heal, and build a more fulfilling life. They may be navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or internal struggles like anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain. What makes them ideal is their willingness to explore, reflect, and take steps toward meaningful transformation. Whether individually or as a couple, they value the therapeutic space as a place of support, discovery, and empowerment, and they come with the courage to be honest, even when it’s hard. I’m passionate about walking alongside these clients as they reconnect with themselves and each other, and begin to create the lives they truly want.
I am a Family Psychotherapist and Atlanta native who uses a holistic approach to therapy who works with women, children, adolescents, and families, with a focus on supporting BIPOC communities, marginalized groups, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Alexis also has experience working with aggressive adolescents, gender-related concerns, and children navigating grief.
With a professional background in Montessori education and nonprofit management, I bring a creative and multifaceted perspective to her work. I am also a strong advocate for radical self-acceptance and enjoy encouraging others to discover their own sense of freedom and personal growth.
Whether you’re battling your inner critic, processing trauma, or just trying to survive in a neurotypical or cis-normative world, I’m here to support your growth, healing, and self-discovery. Therapy doesn’t have to be sterile or detached—we can bring your fandoms, creativity, and passions into the room as tools for healing.
Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.
I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.
Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
I work primarily with adult men who may appear successful and capable on the outside, but inwardly feel stuck, confused, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or retired men who’ve spent years focused on careers and responsibilities, but now find themselves asking deeper questions about who they are, why they feel the way they do, and how to live more authentically. Some are navigating major life transitions—divorce, retirement, grief, or aging. Others are simply tired of feeling emotionally numb, misunderstood, or unsure of how to change long-standing patterns.
I specialize in working with men who are ready to take an honest look at themselves—not because something is “broken,” but because something inside is asking for more. More clarity. More peace. More understanding of why they think, feel, and act the way they do. Using evidence-based modalities such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS) , Hypnotherapy and DBT.
I understand the pressures, expectations, and quiet struggles many men carry—but rarely talk about. I also know how hard it can be to reach out and say, “I could use someone to talk to.” Therapy isn’t about being weak. It’s about being brave enough to face what’s been buried, and strong enough to grow beyond it. If any of this speaks to you, let's talk

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Augusta
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and aligned with your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress related to lived experience. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want from care.
Augusta has a range of mental health professionals, but therapists who explicitly focus on LGBTQIA+ care may be fewer than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local office. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, populations served, and session structure.
Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
