Our Story - When Two Became One
The BraveArt Initiative was formed from two passions. First Dr. S is passionate
about her career as a mental health professional. With almost twenty years of experience working with community members who struggle with life stress,
mental health symptoms and trauma, she understands the importance of an
eclectic solution focused approach. With a specialty in treating First Responders
and their families with career stress and trauma, this realization has grown. Today,
Dr. S continues in her professional role as a trauma specialist at
Tranquility Counseling Services, LLC
​
Dr S is also passionate about the arts. Dr. S grew up with a father who was an accountant by profession but a talented artist by calling. After her father
passed in 2011, Dr S found her way into the art field as a therapeutic
tool for grieving. This passion quickly grew to become what the community now knows as Tranquility Fine Arts, LLC.
And Then Two Became One
Dr.S and her husband Mike (Capt. Barnes,Fire Services) realized that these
two passions could come together to create something new and beautiful.
Many conversations were held around the awareness that "this community needs more." Because God has a way of placing visions in our hearts,
the BraveArt Initiative was born.
BraveArt Initiative Corporation is a Not For Profit (501(c)(3) with one goal;
To serve the mental health needs of our community through
Neuroscience Informed Art Therapy.
