Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Marble Hill, GA


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.

Quin Rainey

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


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.

Stephen (Rock) Nelson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Brookhaven, GA


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

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Savannah

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Savannah starts with identifying what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or something else, a provider with experience in affirming care can make a meaningful difference. Affirming providers respect and validate your identity as a foundation for the work you do together — you can focus on your goals rather than educating your therapist.

Savannah and the broader Chatham County area have a range of licensed providers, including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and whether they feel like a good match. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can connect before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Savannah can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
