Rachel Mims

Rachel Mims is a licensed professional counselor, art therapist, and U.S. Army veteran who specializes in helping others navigate major life transitions — particularly those that come with moving abroad. Drawing from her own experiences as both a therapist and a veteran, Rachel offers unique insight into the emotional, professional, and logistical challenges of starting over in a new country.

With a compassionate and practical approach, Rachel supports two key groups: therapists exploring international relocation and veterans planning their next chapter overseas. For mental health professionals, she provides clarity on international regulations, licensing considerations, and the steps needed to continue practicing abroad—whether that means working in person in a new country or maintaining a virtual caseload of U.S.-based clients. She also helps identify how these professional decisions may affect visa eligibility and long-term relocation plans.

For veterans, Rachel offers specialized guidance on how an international move intersects with benefits, including disability and retirement pay, healthcare access, and tax implications. As a service-connected disabled veteran herself, she understands the unique concerns that come with leaving the U.S. system and ensures her clients have the knowledge and support to make informed decisions.

Rachel’s work is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and lived experience. She helps clients move from uncertainty to confidence, blending her professional expertise with a deep understanding of the emotional realities of transition. Whether you’re a therapist envisioning a global career or a veteran seeking stability and purpose abroad, Rachel provides personalized guidance to make your move smoother, smarter, and more fulfilling.
