Therapists in Greenville, SC

If you are reading this, you probably never knew or forgot how special you really are. You can discover this! I am a therapist with 22 years of post graduate experience working with children, adolescents, adults, elderlies, couples, parents, and families. I am specialized in assisting children and adults who suffered traumatic experiences alleviate their inner suffering through the use of Internal Family Systems model, combined with psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And very unique lately: mindfulness groups for teenagers to assist in coping with overwhelming emotions.

Far too often, life does not go as we hope or plan. It is at those times that we can truly benefit from supportive others showing us that we are not alone, and the powerful experience of someone validating, while also empowering us to overcome, our challenges. I believe that therapy is a space that can offer this support, and I value the chance to help individuals navigate life's transitions and obstacles. Through my training and work experiences, I have learned to empathize, and work effectively, with college students and individuals across the lifespan, from diverse backgrounds, and with a wide-range of concerns.

I believe that we live in challenging times. Many people find it difficult to feel confident and self assured, have peaceful, fulfilling relationships, navigate the demands of finances, family, work and home, and also focus on nourishing self care. These challenges are interconnected. They are related to how we have developed our sense of self in the context of family expectations and experiences, societal demands, cultural assumptions, and media influence. It is necessary for all of us to learn how to live our best lives in these particular circumstances. You are not alone.

Are you struggling with coming out, exploring your gender identity, religious trauma, are autistic, have ADHD or are just looking for someone that "gets" you. Really "gets" you or your child. LGBTQ, Transgender and gender expansive clients are my specialty and I have been working with this community for over a decade. As a queer person myself, I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to have the courage to be who they are. It is okay to need help and I know you are the authority on your own gender identity.

Are you dealing with spiritual abuse, religious trauma, clergy abuse, clergy sexual misconduct, existential angst, or questioning your faith? Are you living with grief, the death of a partner by suicide, or deep loss of any kind? Do you need support surrounding your or a loved one’s sexual or gender identity? I'd love to collaborate with you in your care, human to human. I believe you know yourself best. I can help you learn to use your own knowledge to create more space and openness for growth. Everyone deserves to feel fully accepted & valued. I will see you, hear you, and believe you.

You have always felt driven towards perfection. You attended the right schools, chose the high-pressure career, married the right type of partner, and had children with them. Everyone who knows you thinks you have it all. But something has changed everything for you. You have nagging doubts. Where you once felt in control and confident, you now feel devastated, confused, and lost. You are struggling to get through the day while your numerous responsibilities await. The pressure is starting to feel unbearable.

My practice is limited to males 11 and up. Focus areas include boyhood, adolescence, masculinity and sexual health. We pretend boys don't experience the same degree of emotions compared to girls but in reality we don't teach boys how to identify, process and express emotions. It's little wonder substance abuse, domestic violence, violent crimes, road rage, communication/relationship problems and silent emotional suffering are at epidemic levels. Anger, depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem are rampant.

In my tenure as a mental health professional I have served diverse populations in multiple settings to include: school-based, residential, community mental health and higher-education environments. Proficient in four languages (Ukrainian, Russian, French, and English), I provide culturally competent and trauma-informed clinical services to help people from all walks of life obtain access to mental health services. As a strong generalist, my therapeutic interests include a range of mental health issues and complications in individuals, couples, and families. As a trauma specialist, I hope to make the world as safer place for all.

Do you feel like your life is more about the destination than the journey? Do you feel pressure to succeed by going to the "right" college, getting the "right" job, living on everyone else's terms and not your own? Do you find yourself worrying about your kids or teens incessantly and you just aren't sure what to do anymore? Are you having trouble navigating all of the perils associated with social media and your kids? We feel so many pressures in today's world; whether these pressures come from ourselves, our work, our school work, or our parents and friends.

The heart of my practice is helping clients discover and effect the changes they want in their lives with empathy, compassion, honesty, and respect. I understand that life can present us with painful challenges, and I strive to meet you exactly where you are and help get you where you want to be. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am deeply committed to assisting people with recovery in all of its guises, including depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship issues, environmental stresses, issues faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community, and trauma.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Career Therapist with 20 years of professional experience. I work closely with wonderful people like you who lead very busy lives, whether due to a highly stressful job, career, business or just being a parent trying to do it all. Many of my clients feel anxious, depressed, and/or overwhelmed balancing work and life. Others are experiencing a significant life transition -- a career change, the end of a relationship, or a relocation. I also work with healthcare providers, attorneys, engineers, entrepreneurs, and those in academia, among others.

Those of us who were raised in chaotic, abusive, or neglectful families can experience lingering effects. Whether a parent had a mental illness, abused substances, or was otherwise unable to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment, developmental trauma (DT) can occur. Events that happen to us during formative years (particularly emotional abuse/neglect) affect attachment, brain development, and the ways we perceive the world. Although outwardly successful, we often struggle with codependency, negative self-views, and patterns of behavior learned in dysfunctional homes. This can leave us exhausted and feeling hopeless.

I am licensed in South Carolina and Montana and offer Teletherapy to clients in both states. I lived in Montana for 30 years and currently reside in Upstate South Carolina. Therapy can be a helpful tool to manage stress, cope with grief or loss, improve relationships, and to make sense of traumatic experiences. I utilize a trauma informed approach in my work to support clients on their journey of healing and growth. Change is truly possible in a positive therapeutic relationship where feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be explored and understood in a safe and respectful way. I look forward to see where the journey may take us!

Thank you for stopping by my profile! I'm a queer-identified therapist practicing in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. In my practice, I bring a comprehensive, holistic approach to healing, integrating all domains of life - from relationship, to spirituality, to work, and beyond - and draw on my own experience of healing in these areas to support your well-being. I have a strong belief in the positive power of change and am passionate about helping you find your strengths and achieve true healing.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.

I believe that each individual already possesses the solutions to the challenges they face. My role as a counselor and a healer is to be a companion in the discovery of those solutions. I am a reliable guide with over 25 years of experience working with people of all ages. I specialize in helping people during major life transitions, times of grief & loss, and with trauma recovery. During my 11 years in Hospice, I learned how to help people navigate the many challenges that come with grief and loss. ​ As a long time meditation instructor, one of the hallmarks of my practice is the use of meditation as a tool for healing.

With over 25 years in the mental health field and 13 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.
