Therapists in Gaffney, SC

The mission of Family Builders Counseling Services is to provide the community with a full service of counseling and mental health support. Our purpose is to help clients achieve their goals and educate them through the counseling process. I believe that supporting clients with a spiritual, psychological, social and biological model of counseling allows for the client to examine their lives fully. This wholeness counseling can provide clients with the skills to achieve a more productive and satisfying life.

Clients who are looking for someone to support them in their search for health, healing, or growth through a joint, active, and safe process are invited to reach out to my practice. I am professionally trained to work with a variety of mental and emotional disorders, including stress, anxiety, depression, as well as relational and behavioral problems.

Are you having difficulty navigating your life currently? Are you experiencing anxiety and/or depression? Are you struggling to figure out the next steps in your life? Are you unhappy in your current relationship? Are struggling with the "new" normal? Are you asking yourself, why is this happening to me? Do you ask yourself "Now what" ? Having self-esteem issues? Are you struggling with anger management? If you answer yes to any of these questions I am the therapist for you. I am an experienced therapist who has assisted many clients in overcoming mental, emotional, and relational distress.

Hello, my name is Valerie Boughner. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of South Carolina and Florida. I was born into a military family in the United States, and I have lived in many states in the USA, Japan and Panama. I am active in sports and I travel in my spare time.

I help families and individuals coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/communication difficulty, grief and loss, life changes, and rejection to overcome their difficulties and reach the highest goals they have set for themselves.

Are you faced with challenges? Are past experiences preventing you from moving forward into your future? With 21 years of dedicated experience as a K-12 School Counselor and 10 years as a Global Career Development Facilitator, I am committed to fostering open communication and establishing rapport with clients. My aim is to empower clients to recognize and achieve their utmost potential by providing a safe and supportive environment for them to freely express themselves.

I help clients with a variety of issues such as: overwhelming emotional experiences (anxiety, depression, anger, shame, etc.), traumatic pasts, confusion or aimlessness in life, compulsive behaviors, and other difficulties that somehow limit them from most fully living the lives they prefer. I am a trained mindfulness coach, and I utilize meditation training as a central part of my therapeutic process. I also maintain a person-centered attitude toward all clients, and I aim to establish and maintain a trusting relationship with clients.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this world can beat us down. It seems that we take just one step forward, and life knocks us two steps backward. Life is hard enough as an individual, but when you add a relationship it gets down right messy. People disagree, argue, and inevitably hurt each other. Unfortunately we were created to be social beings. We were made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The circumstances of our lives can lead us to feel insecure, or unimportant. It's the lies we choose to believe that inevitably grow the problems that we experience. You can choose to think differently. I can help.

Meeting and speaking about your personal struggles with a stranger can be nerve racking. It comes with feelings of awkwardness and anxiety. You find yourself leaving your comfort place and all the hiding places you have created, to a place that is unknown. I can promise you I will be there all the way supporting and encouraging you to make those life changes you are looking for. We go through life feeling alone, misunderstood, living in fear, anxiety, and anger all the time.
