Obesity Therapists in Myrtle Beach, SC

Do you believe in the power of the mind-body connection and your own innate ability to overcome your health and emotional challenges? I am a Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Hypnotherapist. My approach to counseling is holistic; I believe in healing the whole person by tapping into the mind and body connection. I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness strategies, and hypnotherapy. It is my intention to act as a guide on your journey of personal healing, to empower you on your mission of self-love, self-resilience, and self-discovery.

I have been in the helping business for the last 25 years. My vast experiences in life have given me insights that enable me to help clients who suffer from relationship issues within their marriage, their families, their social environment and within their work place. I have also had great success working with clients who suffer from addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, etc.) and co-dependency issues. My experiences as a teacher helps me work with adolescent issues related to anxiety, depression, behavior, self-esteem, sexuality, gender, etc.

Life is hard. Hope is found in facing the reality of your past and present. The goal of treatment that I strive for is for you to become all you were created to be; to be healed from the pain of the past, and move into the possibilities of the future. Whatever the past has thrown your way; whatever you are facing today; whatever future challenges are producing fear and anxiety, I would consider it a privilege to help you overcome your hurts, habits, and hang-ups. The past cannot be changed...the future is yet in your power. Don't let your past dictate who you are....Let it be part of who you will become.

As a Licensed Social Worker, my mission is to help you find a healthy direction in life. There is power and potential in all of us for healing and growth. I assist my clients in understanding the interplay of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that contribute to the distress in their lives. Clients begin to find hope when recognizable patterns emerge. Hope grows when these patterns are understood and accepted in the context of their past experiences. Change occurs with ongoing feedback, practice and encouragement. Challenging times can offer opportunity for self discovery and enhancement.

I am accepting new clients. Are you struggling with stress and anxiety? Personal conflicts can hinder not only your own life but also time with others. You may be troubled by self doubt, questioning your level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying relationship. Maybe you're single and exhausted by the drama that can come with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child struggle in social relationships. If these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate the path towards more contentment.

C.S. Lewis said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” There comes a time in every life when the load you’ve been carrying gets too heavy. At times, people try to muscle through their pain, some pretend it does not exist, and some wave the white flag of surrender. However, you have the power of choice. Your pain is not in the the driver’s seat - it’s you who has had the power all along. I believe within every human being an enduring fight rests that keeps you putting your feet on the floor and driving you to function despite searing pain. Take a chance - Let me help!

Yes fellas, y'all too! Let's talk! If you'd like therapy with someone who genuinely wants to see you gain peace and understanding, make an appointment with me! I was born in the rural parts of Charleston, SC before moving to Beaufort, SC for my teenage years. I went on to be a student-athlete for Coastal Carolina University, earning my Bachelor of Arts in Communications. Go Chants!

I work predominantly with adults ages 21-81. About 20% of my practice consists of families or couples. Common themes for therapy are family conflict, romantic relationships or lack of, chronic illness, anxiety and depression.

Part of being human is experiencing a range of emotions... and they're not all rainbows and sparkles. Going through difficult times is a part of life. For most of us, we need or at least benefit from gaining support through those times. And, while it may be helpful to talk to a trusted friend or family member, therapy offers something different. Therapy gives you a totally safe place where you can explore your thoughts and behaviors with a trained professional who is non-biased. It is also a place where you can learn strategies to help you better deal with your challenges, set goals, and gain new perspectives. How great is that!?

I became a social worker for two reasons; I have a natural propensity to talk with people therapeutically and I enjoy helping people. Traditionally, social workers help people to get where they want to go in their lives and assist them in becoming more resourceful in dealing with stresses in their life. I provide supportive counseling, which assists in the process of clients leaning how to support themselves and offer them the tools they need to become more proficient at navigating the environment we live in.

Now accepting new clients! We live with emotions and relationships. Understanding our individual role in relationships is key to connecting with others. I will assist you through: relationship issues, communication, entering, thriving, surviving, or ending a relationship at any age, expressing sexual needs/desires, and managing your past relationship traumas as you move forward. Tic Toc...your energy and time matter. I am here if you long for a listening ear, a place you can speak truthfully, or a space to be YOU. Individual, couples, and teen/families are welcome.

I am a client-centered therapist who likes to work collaboratively with each person. I see it as a privilege to be allowed to help you, and I treat each client with dignity and respect. I work with most issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, parenting, and adolescent problems. I have worked with almost everything and have a lot of experience working with most things. I enjoy "thinking outside of the box" and design a treatment for each specific case instead of taking a "cookie cutter" approach. I may be called or texted at 843-902-4773.

Hello, I am Jim Bennett ,Counselor. I have compassionately worked with families, couples, individuals, teens and groups for over 29 years. I have worked with these clients in a private practice setting and in an addictions treatment center setting. I have accomplished Masters Degrees in both Counseling and Clinical Psychology. I studied both disciplines to equip myself for assessment as well as treatment . I became a counselor to help teens navigate their way into adulthood. I quickly found that the family is where it all starts. Therefore, I focused on family/marriage counseling. From there I branched into addiction counseling.

"In order to achieve the soul-searching that we desire and legitimately need, it is important to find a quiet place to be alone. Only in that silence and solitude are we able to remember that we already know the things that will bring us lasting happiness" My approach centers on helping my clients gain insight into unwanted thoughts and behaviors utilizing a collaborative approach. My goal is to create a peaceful and safe place for my clients to explore past and present stressors that contribute to difficulty in their emotional and behavioral functioning.

I provide compassionate psychological services to adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and relationships. Sometimes life is really hard and we get stuck in the way we think, feel, and act; or we struggle to cope with what life has thrown at us. My approach is to help you feel heard and partner with you to develop new ways to see yourself and the world. Together we work to understand you and your life, and then identify ways to help you become a happier and healthier you. If you don’t quite understand what is going wrong, I utilize psychological testing to help you figure it out.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor my goal is to enrich and improve the lives of every client. We all encounter obstacles on our journey through life and I will help you overcome what is preventing you from living the life you deserve. No problem is too great or too small and I will create a safe, judgement free atmosphere to overcome what life has currently placed in your path. I have a Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and I am fully Licensed as a LPC in the State of South Carolina. I also want to stress the importance of couples seeking counseling before major problems arise. Leave a voicemail or email and let’s GO!

The therapeutic process can be painful and difficult but effective and healing the same time. Together, we will work on your traumatic experiences and help you find answers within yourself to bring you closer to a happy and healthy life. I have received a BA in psychology and MS in clinical mental health counseling from Keiser University. Also, I have been trained in EMDR therapy which targets different traumatic experiences. I pay a lot of attention to childhood as relationships with parents or caregivers affect us later in life and impact our ability to regulate our emotions and function in general.
