Therapists in Charleston, SC

Pursuing counseling can be an intimidating or overwhelming process at times. It may be concern of the unknown or maybe you have not had a positive experience with counseling previously. Seeking support is a courageous act and one grounded in strength. I use humor and a down-to-earth approach to build a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship designed to support you throughout. I focus on issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress management and self-esteem.

At Examined Life Counseling, I work with adults having difficulties related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, and religious harm. Through one-on-one sessions, I support clients in identifying challenges, exploring personal values and priorities, developing coping methods, and building upon strengths. I view each person as unique, perceptive, and resourceful, and join in finding strategies that help make desired change possible.

Through counseling and emotional support, I believe that you and I can come up with solutions to the challenges you are currently facing.

Experienced licensed therapist. Individual, couples and pre-martial counseling. Why can life be so darn difficult? Do you need someone to help unravel this question? Are you in a difficult relationship, with yourself or someone else? Is anxiety, depression, trauma, or loss taking away your chance at living a full authentic life? Family and friends can offer support but may give unhelpful advice, especially if you are dealing with relationship betrayal. A counselor can provide a confidential and nonjudgmental place where you can figure out what's keeping you awake at night. A place to help you heal and strengthen your mental health.

It's difficult making the decision to seek help! When a client finally makes the step to enter counseling, they just hope to find a therapist that is compassionate, non-judgmental, nurturing and able to help them reach their full potential. Throughout my career in working with clients, I've heard many say they wished they entered therapy sooner. Don't hesitate to reach out for support and focus on your self-care and quality of life.

***** Not accepting new clients ***** As a licensed social worker, my main objective is to focus on the strengths each person already has and the areas in which he or she wants to improve. If you are looking for extra support, you are the one setting goals and I will help you look at ways to achieve them. Each person is an individual who may be having a hard time with certain areas and not a patient who fits a "standard mold." We all struggle with difficulties in life, and now may be a time that you can use some help.

I work with a variety of individuals, couples and family's, with different presenting problems. I have experience in anxiety, depression, problem communication, relational issues, and I am currently working on my national certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

All mental & emotional health rests upon positive self esteem. It is much less likely that a person will become depressed or anxious if they have a positive self-image,... if they believe they have value. Self talk reflects the way we feel about ourselves. If a person's thinking is the same after therapy, as it was before, than nothing was accomplished. Issues, such as low self-esteem, may benefit from a psycho-dynamic approach. That is because the way we think about ourselves starts in early childhood. How we think about ourselves effects everything we do,...every decision we make.
