MEET OUR FOUNDER
Mary Reames Rinehart
Five years ago, a dear friend asked, “When did you feel most inspired in your career?” It dawned on me that working with individuals and families in moments of great joy, great sorrow, transition, new chapters, and times of soulful needs were my most meaningful interactions. From that simple question came the idea for LUCERA.
My name is Mary Reames Rinehart – I attended the Medical University of South Carolina and have been a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner since 2013. After moving to Nashville 6 years ago, I was fortunate to attend Vanderbilt University and add a secondary specialization as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Utilizing both trauma-informed therapeutic and medical frameworks, the goal is to take an integrative and holistic approach that supports individuals, children, adolescents, and families. Because every person has a unique story and perspective, I value the mantra of WHOLE-PERSON CARE, ALL STORIES WELCOME.

My husband is an artist, and we have been married for 21 years. We have personally experienced the highest highs, lowest lows, and everything in between in the journey of artists and their families. We have three little boys, and at this stage in life—as is the case with many of my clients—I could not be more grateful for our unique story.
I love working with individuals from all walks of life to provide support in whatever way feels authentic to them. Each person is beautifully unique, and working to find a collaborative plan should reflect this philosophy. Our approach often involves several key steps: discussing personal complexities, developing individualized or family-oriented plans, identifying needs and resources, and providing therapeutic interventions for children and caregivers. Through comprehensive medical assessments, we can recommend appropriate therapeutic, pharmacological, or supplemental treatments. We offer a range of options, always prioritizing what you find most supportive and important.
