Therapists in Mount Pleasant, SC

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and compassionate space for individuals seeking support, guidance, and understanding. I firmly believe that empathy forms the cornerstone of effective therapy. It is through empathy that we forge a genuine connection, validate experiences, and foster an environment where healing and growth can flourish. If you are searching for a compassionate and empathetic therapist, I invite you to reach out and embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and well-being.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing, and growth. Whether you are struggling with troubling thoughts or feelings, lack of confidence, excessive worry, depression, loss, or relationship issues therapy can help. Marcella utilizes a client-centered approach while working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families who struggles with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationship issues in a non-judgmental space. With mindfulness-based practices and cognitive behavioral techniques we can change the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to overwhelming feelings.

Accepting new clients! I am a licensed professional counselor working to help older adolescents and adults make the changes they wish to see in their lives. My strengths are helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, panic, trauma, grief, and sleep problems. I’m also experienced treating those with self-esteem concerns. I believe each person is already whole and perfect just as they are, the expert on their own life, with the ability to make appropriate changes. I have 9 years of experience working as a therapist in a college counseling center and 2 years in a speciality clinic within a hospital setting.

We all, sooner or later, come up against changes, challenges, or outright catastrophes that require us to grow in order to cope. Many of us find that the coping skills we've picked up in our lives thus far are just not enough to enable us to move forward successfully. Often, responses that used to work may have become the very things that are now causing problems. Fortunately, old strategies that no longer work can be released, and new skills and perspectives can be learned that open up possibilities that were never available in the past. That's what therapy is for, and It is my great pleasure to be a part of this process.

Seeking therapy for the first time may feel intimidating for some. My intention is to meet each individual where they are, to ensure a safe, compassionate environment. I believe in working collaboratively with clients in order to identify personal strengths and develop new coping skills, with the ultimate goal of improving your functioning and relationships within your personal, professional and/or academic environments. We will work to explore behaviors, beliefs, and relationship patterns that no longer serve you well and explore your current values systems in order to reach a to sense of fulfillment in your life.

You are tired of feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied with life. You are at the point where you know something has to change–even if you don’t know exactly what that is or what it may look like. You are ready to take the first step to truly living the life you would like to live: To find and connect with what is important to you and be the best version of yourself you can be. You are ready to find a new way of living that leads to happiness and fulfillment instead of depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you looking for ways to be happy? Is stress or worry driving you to do things you wouldn't normally do? Is diabetes running your life? Chronic illness, stress, constant worry, transitions, loss, and trying to do everything right can be really frustrating and difficult. There is hope for healing and skills to manage your life and find wellness. Therapy is a collaborative process where you can heal, explore, grow and change in a non-judgmental environment. Together we can find coping skills that work for your life and get on track with taking care of yourself even when you don't feel like it.

Wellness. Intentions. Nurture. Growth. Success. These are concepts we will address together to give you, or a loved one the support you need for real change. Treating the whole person, whether you are a family struggling with relationships, a child or young adult trying to find your way in life, or simply ready to change negative thought patterns, we can begin here together. In your first session, you can expect us to explore setting one’s own intentions, a path to achieve those goals, what personal growth may look like for YOU and how to realize success.

Suffering, while at times very painful, can also provide us with insight that can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. As we become curious and compassionate towards our life experiences, we can begin to develop a greater sense of Self awareness. My approach is relational, interactive, and empathic. I look at our work together as a journey I am honored to take with you in which we collaboratively work towards the discovery and expression of your true Self.

As a therapist, I help people grow and heal through life changes and difficult seasons. While supporting people on this journey the past 17 years, I have found that being a warm, compassionate person who's easy to talk to is equally important as the skills and treatment approaches I have learned along the way. These skills work best when you feel relaxed with your therapist and naturally open to working with them on a deep level for you. My speciality is supporting and guiding people healing from anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions so that they can reinvest their energy back into the lives they want to build for themselves.

I work with marriages, couples, families, individuals and special populations such as Military, Federal, Law Enforcement, First Responders, Health Care Workers /Providers and Corporations. Many who I have treated have commented that they find my direct approach empowering in their search for hope.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with 45 years of practice experience, specializing in life transitions, stress, depression and anxiety. I see individuals from ages 8 - 88. I trained as a systemic thinker and my work is solution focused using a cognitive, practical framework to build on client strengths. I still believe that it is a privilege to be included in the change process, to potentially make a difference in another's life.

And... ACTION! Therapy is a place where you can ACT OUT LOUD your frustrations and give voice to the troubling thoughts in your head that cause emotional turmoil and hold you back from being your best self. My clients include individuals who struggle with anger, depression, anxiety, sexual identity, behavioral issues, adjustment issues, grief, loss, life transitions and a host of other challenges. I'm also a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS).

I help my clients resolve the core struggles beneath anxiety and depression. I believe life unfolds perfectly for each of us, even when we feel blocked or overwhelmed. Feeling anxious, hopeless or triggered can accelerate our journey when we learn how to work with our most difficult emotional feedback wisely. Most of us never learned how to do this, so we default to staying busy, being productive or avoiding what we're feeling. It's a good sign if these are no longer working well for you to block your uneasiness: you have reached a point where your desire to grow and heal has become stronger than the desire for immediate stability.

Do you feel an immense amount of worry, panic, distress, or sadness? Are these feelings overwhelming and inhibiting? You feel as though you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to be working. I understand this can be a frightening and exhausting place to be and can be challenging to move on with day-to-day life. With a warm, compassionate, and approachable energy I am committed to creating a safe therapeutic environment. I have a passion for listening and celebrating individual uniqueness, and offer an authentic space to explore who you are.
