Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Goose Creek, SC

As clinicians, we dedicate ourselves to helping others, but our own self-care is equally important. I know from experience it can be hard to find a good therapist that you're not already networked with professionally. That's why, as a SC-licensed independent clinical social worker located in Maryland, I opted to focus the SC side of my practice exclusively on working with fellow therapists.

Are you in a relationship and feeling trapped in communication patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, alone, or unheard? Are you an individual who is feeling challenged with anxiety, your relationship with food, your relationships in general, or "getting past your past". I work regularly with couples and individuals to find healing within themselves and within their relationships, to learn ways to regulate emotion in order to experience life with more joy, and to feel more able to organize around their emotion vs. feel overwhelmed from it. I am currently working online via video with clients. I see clients in person at times.

Whatever it is you're going through, you aren't alone, and your feelings make more sense than you realize. You deserve to be heard, feel seen, and discover the wisdom you already carry within. I create a safe and comforting space for clients to gain insight, skills, and confidence as they explore their emotions and needs. Clients have described me as warm, calm, and direct. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach to therapy. Every client is unique, and I tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs and honor your values. Cliche as it sounds, when life gets hard, remember that we can do hard things!

I would love to help you discover the root cause of presenting issues in your present and past that might be keeping you from the growth you deserve, and the renewal of the mind. I focus on childhood trauma, attachment styles, (IFS) internal family systems, DBT, and T-F CBT. Working with couples is a passion of mine as there can be many communication errors or past childhood experiences that are blocking your relationship from full potential blooming. I also work with Borderline Personality disorder, OCD, ADHD, Anxiety/Depression, Families and Teens.

Do you feel like you are living your life behind a mask, suppressing your true self? Are you looking for a sense of relief, purpose, and fulfillment? I strive to provide a safe space to explore and embrace your authentic self, cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, and develop healthy coping skills. My passion lies in supporting adults who struggle with the daily impact of ADHD symptoms or the lingering effects of past traumatic experiences. I am also committed to helping adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, neurodivergence, and co-occurring disorders.

If you have had trouble communicating with your therapist/others or with traditional talk therapy approaches, you have come to the right place. My name is Dena Ewing and I am a board certified art therapist that specializes in trauma therapy and somatic practices to resolve emotional pain and suffering. Many people I treat have often tried different therapies in the past with limited success. My approach to resolving long standing anxiety, trauma and/or depression is by taking a "bottom up" approach, meaning we work with gently connecting to the body first to let it inform the next steps in healing.

Welcome all! I am accepting clients for in-person sessions, in the office, on the beach, or Telehealth sessions without a waitlist. I provide a supportive and compassionate environment where individuals are empowered to express their authentic selves, cultivate self-love, and uncover their unique strengths. I utilize a person-centered, IFS-skilled, trauma-informed approach, however, I tailor each session to meet the individual's needs. With an M.Ed in counseling and art therapy, I integrate art therapy techniques for clients open to creative healing modalities.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck repeating the same self defeating thoughts and behaviors? Maybe you feel like you are on auto-pilot, just existing trying to get through the day. You know you are not feeling or being your best self but aren’t sure how to take the next step. You’ve tried so many times before and you’re exhausted. Are you impacted by trauma and feel like you can’t move forward, express your needs or act in alignment with your values? You have things to say but don’t feel empowered to speak your truth and set boundaries that support your well being and personal goals. Have you been impacted by religious trauma?

I believe life unfolds perfectly for each of us, even when we feel blocked or overwhelmed. When we learn how to work with our emotions and our life - instead of against them - they naturally help us learn and grow. My aim is to help my clients experience that directly, rather than simply talking or thinking about what that's like. I offer talk therapy and EMDR therapy (a unique, evidence-based treatment). Many describe EMDR as a way to process in a few sessions feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues they hadn't been able to get unstuck from in months or years of previous therapy or self-help.

Life is often a series of difficult challenges and painful struggles. It can be hard to make sense of it all, let go and truly heal. Still, trauma, chronic pain/illness, mood issues, loss or other difficult problems do NOT need to define you or your life. I have a passion to help young adults, women, single moms, military families, and others who've been impacted by the tough stuff life has to offer. Using a holistic, strengths-based approach that integrates wellness practices, with trauma informed modalities I can help facilitate the healing process, and provide an opportunity for you to become the best version of yourself!
