Welcome! My name is Toni Gaines and I am the owner/lead therapist of Gaines and Associates. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Temporary Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (T-CADC), and Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapist (ART). I have a vast amount of experience in mental health, crisis intervention and substance abuse. I currently work with individuals, families and couples who are seeking therapeutic services and/or have substance abuse issues. We are certified to satisfy state DUI requirements and provide relief to individuals suffering from substance abuse disorders. My wide range of experience provides me the unique ability to provide individualized treatment for each of my clients.  I believe in an empathetic, self-empowering approach to therapy which will provide the client with sufficient education and resources necessary to live a more satisfying life. Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs. I look forward to meeting you and empowering your life’s journey.
