Hi, I'm Isha Gaines, M.Ed., LPC

Therapist. Holistic practitioner. Creator of Rooted Function Theory™.

I specialize in helping high achieving women whose nervous systems never learned how to rest work through relationship transitions, whether you're questioning a relationship, on the verge of a breakup, or rebuilding after one ends. These seasons bring insecurity, loss of confidence, and emotional overwhelm, and often reveal patterns of reactivity that trace back to a nervous system that's been running in survival mode long before the relationship became the visible source of stress. At the core of this work is relational repair, both with the people in your life and with yourself. Repairing your relationship with yourself often means defining or redefining what spirituality means to you, working through deconstructing beliefs you were raised with, and finding grounded ways to stay connected to something bigger than yourself. You don't have to face any of it alone.

Through Rooted Function Theory™, we uncover the patterns and root causes keeping you stuck, then build a healing plan that continues between sessions with practical tools, journal prompts, and strategies for everyday life. Clients describe me as real, personable, and refreshingly honest, and the results show up in your real life, not just the therapy room.

Now accepting new clients. Flexible session times including mornings and evenings.

My Approach

My work blends clinical therapy with holistic practice to support mind, body, and spirit while addressing the deeper patterns that shape how we connect to ourselves and others. I work with high achieving women navigating relationship transitions, couples at a crossroads, and entrepreneurs managing the weight of building something while their personal life is shifting, and across all of it, the throughline is relational repair, whether that's with a partner, a family member, or the relationship you have with your own sense of self and spirit. Underneath it, the pattern is usually the same, a nervous system that has never been given permission to rest, showing up as reactivity in the moments that matter most.

My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thought patterns, Mindfulness and Somatic Work, Rooted Function Theory™ to uncover root fears and core triggers, Kemetic Yoga and holistic practice for body mind grounding, and oracle integrated processing as a clinically grounded reflective tool. Together, these approaches reduce stress, increase clarity, and support your transformation from heartbreak into empowered, confident, and liberated living.
