Tommie Hines

I am currently studying Psychology at Georgia State University, where I am passionate about exploring the connections between mental health, personal expression, and healing. With a deep commitment to helping others, I envision creating a unique therapeutic space that combines traditional mental health practices with the art of tattooing, offering individuals a creative and empowering avenue for emotional healing and self-expression. During their academic journey, I have focused on topics such as trauma-informed care, counseling techniques, cognitive psychology, and the psychology of art and creativity. These studies inspire my mission to innovate how therapy can look and feel for people from all walks of life. In addition to coursework, I engages in mentoring striving artists strengthening their ability to build meaningful, trusting relationships with clients. They are committed to fostering safe, inclusive spaces where individuals can reclaim their narratives, heal from past experiences, and express their growth through both words and permanent art. Driven by creativity, compassion, and a desire to challenge traditional therapy models, Im excited to continue developing the skills necessary to turn their vision into a reality: a welcoming place where art and healing meet.
