24. Sensitivity, curiosity, divinity

I meet with my longtime friend Rainia Noble, fellow Moon Child and dancer, and discuss how her sensitivity and curiosity led her on a career path and nurtured her own healing and spiritual journey. Rainia Noble, BA, MA, AMFT , was born and raised in Oakland CA. Currently, she works as a Behavioral Health Clinician for children 7-21 years old within Alameda County. Rainia bring 8 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist within various schools , Acute Psychiatric Hospitals (crisis milieu), Community Mental Health Programs; and 2 years’ experience working as a Social Worker for the Children and Family Services for Alameda County. Rainia's four passions are dismantling the stigma around Mental Health Awareness within communities of color, educating her clients on holistic treatment options to improve their overall wellness goals, traveling, and music. Rainia holds a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy, a BA in International Relations, with an emphasis in Latin American and Caribbean Culture Studies, and is an initiated Lucumi priest. Aside from working as a Psychotherapist, Rainia is an avid international traveler who has traveled, studied, and lived in over 10 countries.
