Cameron B. Collins
Substance Abuse Counselor

Conceived in Seattle, WA, and born in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Cameron jokes about his transcontinental traveling occurring before birth. Since he was a toddler, however, Middle Tennessee has been home. Growing up to a dentist father and hygienist mother, Cameron graduated from Gallatin High School in 1987 and Volunteer State Community College in 1990 with a degree in communications and an emphasis on journalism. For the next 13 years, newspaper deadlines dominated his days in writing about sports, government, education, crime, and human interest. During that span, he met and married the love of his life, Suzanne, an elementary educator in Dickson County, now their home. They had one son, Cooper, a second-semester freshman at University of the South and a college athlete. Cameron and Suzanne have been married more than 27 years. In addition to journalism, Cameron has been a manufacturing factory supervisor, car salesman, and has spent the last four years in support of addition recovery, first as a residential behavioral technician (a year), and the last three years as an outpatient clinician. He anticipates becoming a LADAC I in late 2025. Cameron’s mantra comes from a pair of quotes provided by Theodore Roosevelt and Maya Angelou: “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” [Roosevelt] and “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

She was also heavily impacted by losing a family member to overdose in 2020. She has been working with clients in both residential and outpatient settings since 2017. After hearing countless stories of unresolved childhood trauma, she decided to step away from serving adult clients and into the realm of working with children.

She has experience working with various populations of clients including children from ages 5 to 17, adults, LGBTQ. addiction, and mental health. Chelonda has been employed part-time with Provive Wellness since March 2025. Her favorite quote is “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. "I'm often asked how I juggle working in two vastly different settings. When you do what you love, it never feels like work." Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous....”- Marianne Williamson
