Welcome to Amethyst Roots Rising!

If you are looking for a space where your spiritual path, your intuitive hits, and your deepest psychological healing can all exist at the same table, you are in the right place. Mainstream culture often tells us we must separate the deeply spiritual from grounded, evidence-based science. But true healing happens at the intersection of both.

I honor the full spectrum of who you are, your history, your inner child, your identities, and your spiritual essence. Healing here is not about fixing or conforming; it’s about grounding yourself in safety, reclaiming your wholeness, and allowing growth to unfold naturally.

As a Registered Play Therapist, I provide specialized counseling for children, alongside therapy for teens and adults. Whether through the language of play or traditional therapy, I meet you exactly where you are, combining evidence-based practices with deeper soul-level work for those ready to explore transformation.

I offer both in-person and telehealth options. Reach out today, and let's see what we discover together.

Get started

The Philosophy In The Name

The name is the foundation of my therapeutic approach, representing the beautiful "inner marriage" of your intuitive heart and your grounded reality:

The Amethyst
(The Spirit):

This represents the crown chakra, intuitive psychic vision, and higher wisdom. It honors your spiritual journey, your energy, and the magical, unseen parts of your healing that are a vital piece of your mental and emotional well-being.

The Roots
(The Science):

This is our solid, unshakeable clinical foundation. It represents ethical boundaries, evidence-based therapeutic modalities, like Person-Centered Therapy, and psychological safety. The roots ensure you are planted firmly on the earth, making it safe to travel deeply into your own esoteric healing.

The Rising
(The Transformation):

This is the integration of structure and spirit. It is the conscious choice to step out of hiding, shed old protective armor, and live unmasked in radical, authentic visibility.

Here are some places to get started.

About Rachel Vines, LPC - Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist - Supervisor

I am a Registered Play Therapist, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and fully LGBTQIA+ affirming counselor who believes you shouldn't have to leave your spirituality at the door of a therapist's office, nor your rational mind at the door of a spiritual space.

My practice is a rare sanctuary where grounded clinical expertise meets deep, soul-centered energy work. My clinical credentials and understanding of somatic depth are the strong roots that allow us to safely explore the unremembered spaces of your healing. Whether you are seeking an accurate diagnosis, untangling past trauma, navigating a neurodivergent discovery, or doing soul-level inner-child work, I bring both my therapeutic training and my intuitive gifts to every session. You don't have to hide your "woo" side here. Together, we will use every part of who you are to support your rise into wholeness.
