Toni Gaines, LPCC-S
Clinical Director & Therapist
Welcome! I'm Toni Gaines, Clinical Director of G&A Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Supervisor (LPCC-S) 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, our son and our two dogs. I look forward to meeting you and empowering your life's journey.

Shelbie Wiles, LPCA
Practice Manager & Therapist
Hi, I'm Shelbie! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University and continued my education to complete my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My clinical experience encompasses working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I have specialized experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals navigating substance use and recovery, and those who have experienced crisis or trauma. Whether I'm helping someone navigate an immediate crisis or accompanying them on their longer path toward healing, I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming therapeutic environment. In therapy, I believe in showing up authentically and meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, utilizing a thoughtful blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered approaches tailored to what works best for your unique needs and circumstances. I firmly believe that the healing process can be both meaningful and engaging, because healing doesn't have to be boring.
