Your Partner in Healing and Renewal
Meet Rayni Collins
Hi, I’m Rayni Collins, the heart behind E-MOTIVE Counseling. I help Givers—creatives, caregivers, and empaths—find their calm amidst the chaos, so they can thrive without burning out. With over a decade of experience in mental health, I’ve combined my passions for movement, creativity, and holistic healing to create a therapy experience that’s as unique as the people I work with.
My journey into this work began long before I became a therapist. As a professional dancer, I’ve experienced firsthand the toll that passion and drive can take on the mind and body. After earning my Master’s in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling in 2013, I spent years working with clients from all walks of life, helping them reconnect with themselves through movement and expression.
In 2022, I expanded my expertise into Behavioral Sleep Medicine, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), because I saw how poor sleep impacts every facet of life. I’m also certified in Brainspotting, a powerful tool for uncovering and releasing deep emotional stress. Together, these approaches form the foundation of my practice.
My clients describe me as compassionate, creative, and direct. I bring humor and authenticity to our work, creating a space where you can feel safe to explore and grow. Whether it’s helping you rediscover restful sleep, ease anxiety, process trauma, or reignite your creative spark, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Outside of my therapy work, I’m still dancing, cheering for the Carolina Hurricanes, and even lacing up my skates for some ice time. Balance, creativity, and connection are not just things I teach—they’re what I live by.
