Welcome to Wild Free Art

Meet Rachel

Therapist. Artist. Expat. Creative Coach. Fellow Human.

I’m Rachel Mims (she/her), a U.S. licensed therapist, creative coach, veteran, and artist currently in the process of moving to Spain. I help people navigate change, reconnect with their creativity, and build lives that feel meaningful, no matter where they are in the world.

Whether you're going through a major transition, moving abroad, feeling creatively stuck, or rebuilding after burnout, I offer practical tools and compassionate support to help you find your way forward.

What I Do

​Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of people through therapy, coaching, and creative workshops. My work is trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in both research and real-life experience.

I offer:

  • Therapy (for U.S.-based clients in TX or PA)

  • Creative & Expat Coaching (worldwide)

  • Workshops & Classes (art journaling, emotional wellness, and more)

  • Free and low-cost resources to help people heal, grow, and create

 

My approach blends mental health expertise, lived experience, and a deep belief in your ability to change and heal - even if it’s messy, even if you don’t know where to start.

 

Why I Do This Work

I’ve been the person starting over. The one who moved to a new country, navigated chronic pain, grieved big losses, left the military, and made art through all of it. That lived experience is part of what makes my work deeply empathetic and real.

I believe that creativity is a wellness tool, that transitions deserve support, and that every human has the capacity to heal and grow even in difficult seasons.

Outside of Work

When I’m not working, you’ll find me journaling in cafes, taking long walks with my dogs, exploring new places with a sketchbook in hand, or cooking something gluten-free and delicious. I’m a curious traveler, lifelong learner, and big believer in living with intention—even when it looks a little unconventional.

If you're ready to work together—or just want to learn more—I’d love to hear from you.
