I am Rita Lynn Berry—a writer, poet, counselor, and Journey to Me™ Creator and Guide—creating devotionals, reflections, creative journeys, and soul-centered art that help women heal, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with clarity and grace. My work blends faith, psychology, creativity, and lived experience to illuminate what’s possible when we return home to the truth of who we are.
I create spaces for healing, reflection, and transformation. Whether through Journey to Me™, my writing, or personal coaching, my mission is to help others reconnect with their authentic selves and move forward with clarity and confidence.
A Journey of Transformation, Words, and Wonder
I believe transformation begins with truth—our willingness to be honest, present, and open to becoming. Writing, creativity, and reflection have always been the tools I use to illuminate the path, both for myself and for the women I serve.
Embracing My Evolution
After more than 30 years guiding others as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, my work expanded beyond the therapy room into storytelling, poetry, publishing, and personal transformation. Through Journey to Me™ and Mend n Muse Media, I create devotionals, guided journeys, journals, poetry, and courses that help women heal, grow, and embrace their authentic selves.
The Power of Words & Expression
Words have always been my sanctuary. Writing is where I process, pray, breathe, and become. I believe words shape, heal, and transform—and through books, reflections, guided meditations, and poetry, I offer language that makes room for truth, softness, and awakening.
A Creative Force on Fire
Storytelling is woven through everything I create. My work explores faith, identity, healing, and the beautiful tension between strength and softness. Whether through poetry, devotionals, or guided journals, I write to uplift, challenge, and spark meaningful transformation.
From Counselor to Creator
I remain a licensed counselor, though my mission now extends far beyond traditional practice. My work blends psychology, spirituality, and personal growth—offering holistic pathways for healing and becoming. I create resources that empower women to release old stories, reclaim their voice, and rise with intention and grace.
A Journey of Authenticity & Expansion
I am stepping fully into who I am—writer, poet, counselor, healer, creator. Music, movement, storytelling, faith, and reflection are not separate pieces, but threads of my journey. I am not meant to fit into one box; I am a tapestry of passion, purpose, and truth. If you seek clarity, courage, or creative inspiration, you are in the right place.
