Therapists in Charleston, SC

I work with adults on life, love and purpose. I work compassionately to help individuals who are motivated for change but who are faced with roadblocks to making that change happen. Roadblocks may include: struggles with depression, stress, anxiety, substance abuse; finding one's own voice; negative relationship patterns; poor boundaries with others; low self-esteem, and/or negative body image; lack of a sense of purpose or belonging.

Therapy is a mutual endeavor. I believe, after 20+ years of experience, that my primary responsibility as a psychotherapist is to help you to reconnect with your own intuitive wisdom, which can get clouded by life stressors and relationship influences. Our work together will be tailored to address your unique needs, whether it be issues associated with depression, anxiety, sexuality, substance abuse, or a traumatic history; anything that creates a barrier to your best self. I also work quite effectively with couples, always looking to improve communication, as well as discovering underlying issues that can create barriers.

You've tried everything, but nothing seems to work long-term. You're tired of carrying the weight of your struggles on your own and are seeking compassionate, non-judgmental support. If this sounds like you, then you've come to the right place. My goal is to work with you to identify what YOU value most to determine the next steps toward living a full life. Whatever led you to my page, I'm so glad you're here and I'm honored to be considered as your guide through some of life's most difficult challenges.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of South Carolina, and a certified CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) therapist. I am also a certified yoga instructor, which creates a wonderful combination to guide and empower clients to manifest the lives they deserve and dream of. The combination of mindfulness, self-awareness, and stress reduction can be quite powerful in transforming your life and cultivating contentment with yourself and others. Life can be tough at times, and seeking support can be helpful during these times.

It is my passion to help children, teens and young adults (ages 3-25) whenever there has been a concern for a problematic sexual behavior that has gotten them in trouble or that hurt someone. If you need help addressing a sexual behavior, or if you have questions generally about equipping your child to keep themselves and others safe (think about technology use, sexting, etc), I would love to work with you. I also really enjoy working with youth who need help processing a traumatic experience (I provide TF-CBT, an evidence based treatment program). When possible, I include the caregiver or parent in treatment.

Navigating life's transitions can be difficult, especially on our own. Gaining awareness into how we relate to others, ourselves, and the world around us, can be life altering. Where there has been unwanted and unexpected change, pain, and loss, there is space for growth and redemption. Allowing yourself permission to explore your life experience is challenging and ultimately freeing. In the counseling relationship, the foundation for healing is fostered through a safe, empathic, and shame-free environment; being met exactly as you are, where you are. Together we can find healthy and effective ways to cope and thrive.

Congratulations! Reaching out for help is the first (and often the hardest) step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Your courage and curiosity about how things may be different for you are enough to begin! Be PROUD of yourself for taking this step! I believe in a collaborative approach that includes cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based skills, brain science, and non-judgment. We will work together to determine your therapeutic goals and the steps to take to reach those goals.

Hello, thank you for finding me on Psychology Today. Much of my work is with children, adolescents, families (parenting) and adult individuals. I have experience working with trauma, abuse, grief, loss, long term illness, anxiety, depression, ADHD and other childhood emotional disorders. I view my clients in a holistic sense, taking into consideration their symptoms, life stressors, emotional/physical developmental changes/stages, past/recent trauma(s), family dynamics, parenting styles from childhood -past/present, as well as coping skills and interpersonal relationships and support systems.

Are you having trouble knowing who you are? Are you looking for your own confidence or wisdom? Does your life and (all that comes with it) feel hard to manage? What you're going through can feel overwhelming and distressing. You may be waiting for an answer, a truth, or a revelation and it can be hard to get unstuck. You may need help finding out what gets in your way- I am here to help.

I'm a kind, gentle, and straight-forward therapist who will help you reach your goals & better quality of life through counseling. I work with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and personality disorders. I mainly utilize EMDR which utilizes Bilateral Stimulation to reprocess memories so that they no longer have lasting emotional charge and distress. I also utilize Internal Family Systems, Art Therapy, & Play Therapy as they fit the needs of my clients. I also have experience in music performance & can help if you are experiencing performance anxiety of any kind. You can best reach me through text at 843-259-2812 or email.

Are negative past experiences impacting the way you view yourself and how you interact with others? Do you feel alone with your problems, or stuck in patterns of behavior that are self-defeating? Trauma, anxiety, or depression may be getting in the way of your happiness and growth.You can learn to live without the constant nagging and badgering of perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety and depression. You can implement healthy boundaries that support the life you want to be living. I use evidence-based practices, rooted in compassion and empathy, to help you find healing and a feeling of empowerment. You deserve to enjoy your life!

The primary focus in my therapy practice is helping others who may be struggling with stress or anxiety, including a wide range of anxiety based diagnoses such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Social Phobias or general phase of life stressors. Our world can be very stressful at times and I find my clients are often high functioning but often neglect themselves. Making that first call is a big step, and taking care of your mental health is so important. Anxiety can be extremely overwhelming and debilitating but relief is possible.

I strive to bring a compelling blend of experience, expertise, clarity, concern, and action to the counseling process to maximize outcomes and provide genuine healing and wholeness. During the therapy process, I assist clients in discovering their strengths, building a support system, and developing a healthy lifestyle to set the foundation for life success.

We all experience difficult moments in life, no matter who we are or where we come from, and sometimes it’s simply too hard to do it alone. We need somebody to talk to, somebody with whom we feel comfortable enough to open our heart. Come here and let’s talk. 15 minutes, no strings attached. I am not going to ask for your personal information, your signature on stacks of paperwork, or your credit card number before our first appointment. Let's just see if I can be that person first.

Are you a new mom? Struggling to find balance as a mom? planning to be a parent? Finding it difficult to conceive? My practice focuses on maternal wellness and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders however my interests and skill set spans beyond. Maybe you are needing to cope with anxiety in a different way. Maybe you have suffered a loss and are not sure how to navigate it. Whatever the concern, reach out and I would love to see if I'm the right fit to support you!

I am passionate about helping people process and heal from their past traumas and work towards their optimal health. As an integrative adult nurse practitioner, Reiki Master, and Transpersonal & Trauma Healing Hypnosis practitioner I am able to bring the two worlds together for total healing (body, mind & soul).

Steadfast Christian Counseling is a professional counseling service in Charleston, SC. Our counselors are trained in CBT, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Trauma Focused CBT.

Many of us are overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Beyond the normal stressors, individuals and families deal with a myriad of problems. They can easily be paralyzed by the decisions that must be made and are weighed down by strained relationships and seemingly insurmountable circumstances. The good news is that there are solutions and each person has the ability to create and/or experience change within their own lives! I am privileged to assist clients as they identify changes needed to create positive life changes, make good, solid decisions, and sustain more productive, constructive behaviors and thought patterns.

We often find ourselves in situations and relationships where we feel overwhelmed and stuck. Therapy can provide the space and the tools we need to heal and live a more authentic life where we feel seen, known, and loved for who we truly are.
