Isha Gaines, M.Ed, LPC

Hi, I’m I’sha Gaines, M.Ed, LPC — therapist, wellness practitioner, and creator of Rooted Function Theory™.

I specialize in helping people through relationship transitions—whether you’re questioning a relationship, on the verge of a breakup, or rebuilding after one. These seasons bring insecurity, loss of confidence, and emotional overwhelm, but you don’t have to face them alone.

Through Rooted Function Theory™, we uncover the patterns and root causes that keep you stuck, then build a plan for healing that continues between sessions with practical tools, journal prompts, and strategies for everyday life.

Clients describe me as real, personable, and refreshingly honest. My work blends counseling, mindfulness, and holistic practices so you can restore confidence, rebuild self-esteem, and step into healthier love and purpose.

My Approach

I help people navigate relationship transitions and the identity shifts that come with them. My work blends clinical therapy with holistic practices to support mind, body, and spirit, while addressing the deeper patterns that shape how we connect to ourselves and others.

My approach includes:

  • Mental Health Counseling (LPC) — clinically grounded support

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — shifting unhelpful thought patterns

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) — understanding and healing the inner parts that drive behavior, fear, and self-protection

  • Mindfulness & Hypnosis — calming the nervous system and creating space for new perspectives

  • Rooted Function Theory™ — my original model for uncovering root fears, triggers, and healing patterns

  • Kemetic Yoga & Holistic Practices — restoring balance, grounding, and body-mind connection

Together, these tools help reduce stress, increase clarity, and support your transformation from heartbreak into empowered, confident, and liberated living.
