Professional Information
Dr. Gainer is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist,
and Qualified Supervisor in the States of Idaho and Florida. Her professional counseling
experiences include community agencies, behavioral hospital settings, and K-12 schools.

Dr. Gainer enjoys integrating her clinical experience in the classroom through active, experiential, and transformative learning.
