Regina Rye, M.S., LPC-S, LAC, NCC, LCDC

Have you been carrying so much for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to simply be okay? Maybe you’re the one everyone relies on. You keep showing up, taking care of others, and handling responsibilities even when you’re running on empty. Everyone tells you how strong you are. What they don’t see is how much you’re managing behind the scenes. Your mind won’t slow down. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, worry about disappointing others, and struggle to put your own needs first. Some days, it feels easier to pull back from certain people, places, or situations because everything feels overwhelming, or because you’re tired of feeling misunderstood. You may be navigating grief, trauma, difficult relationships, or experiences that still shape how you see yourself today. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and at Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic, we are here to support you on that journey. I’m Regina Rye, Founder of Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic (GHTC). Over the years, I’ve seen how trauma, loss, and life’s challenges can leave people feeling disconnected from themselves and unsure of how to move forward. That’s why I’m passionate about helping Black women and adolescents heal, grow, and reconnect with who they truly are. At GHTC, we help clients work through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and low self-esteem so they can feel more confident, at peace, and grounded within themselves. Together, we help you: • Quiet racing thoughts and reduce anxiety • Let go of self-criticism and perfectionism • Set healthy boundaries without guilt • Heal from painful experiences • Build confidence, self-worth, and resilience • Strengthen relationships and communication • Feel more present in your daily life Our goal is more than helping you get through the day. We want to help you feel like yourself again: more confident, at peace, and able to enjoy your life. At Genuine Hearts, we believe healing begins when you no longer have to do life alone. When you’re ready for support, we’re here to help. Schedule a free consultation and take the first step toward lasting change. There should be no shame in seeking the aid of a helping professional. To me, it shows strength. The benefit is that you get to process your emotions with a neutral party and feel safe being open and vulnerable, without fear or judgment.

Choosing the right therapist is about more than finding the first available appointment, it's about finding someone who truly understands your experiences, respects your goals, and creates a space where lasting change can occur. At Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic, we recognize that every individual brings a unique story, which is why we thoughtfully match each client with the therapist whose experience, therapeutic style, personality, and areas of clinical expertise best align with their needs. We are a group private practice providing secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy for adults, adolescents (ages 12 and older), couples, and families throughout Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and other participating states where our clinicians are licensed. Our goal is to make beginning therapy feel approachable by offering a supportive, responsive experience from your first contact with our practice through every stage of your therapeutic journey. Many of our clients are professionals, parents, caregivers, students, and individuals who appear to be managing life well on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, unresolved trauma, depression, emotional burnout, chronic stress, grief, relationship challenges, perfectionism, life transitions, or overwhelming self-doubt. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking greater self-understanding, therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, strengthen healthy coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Our therapists provide individualized, evidence-informed care that is tailored to your specific goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate a variety of proven therapeutic approaches while maintaining a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment. Faith-based counseling is also available for clients who wish to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process. Beyond providing psychotherapy, Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic is committed to advancing the counseling profession through clinical supervision for counselors pursuing independent licensure, NBCC-approved continuing education programs, and behavioral health insurance credentialing assistance for clinicians building or expanding their private practices. Whether you are seeking support for a current challenge, healing from past experiences, strengthening your relationships, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, our team is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care that empowers you to move beyond surviving and toward living with greater confidence, balance, resilience, and hope.
