Medicaid Therapists in Myrtle Beach, SC

Everyone has a story. You may be struggling with common, everyday issues and simply looking for perspective, a good listener, and/or a nonjudgmental, friendly atmosphere to share your pain and gain insight into “your story.” Some people are encouraged by family, friends, or medical professionals to seek help. Seeking help takes courage and dedication. Together we will determine the goals of therapy and explore the presenting problem while promoting self-actualization, empowering self-growth, improving relationships, and reducing emotional suffering.

Hello! My name is Sheliza Thompson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) committed to helping individuals and families overcome their unique challenges and improve their, overall, wellbeing. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, identify patterns that may be hindering their growth, and develop effective coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and respected especially during difficult times. Although family and friends can provide love and support, sometimes we need someone who can be totally objective. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can express needs and leave feeling heard and empowered to make positive changes in your life. Each person enters therapy with a unique set of issues and needs. Together we will develop a treatment plan that is right for you. My goal is to help you heal, grow and discover strengths you didn’t even know you had.

As a certified cognitive-behavioral therapist, my goal is to help you understand that your thoughts control your emotions and behaviors. Once you understand that you control your thinking, you will start to become emotionally stronger and create ways to achieve your successful future. While we can't change the past, we can work together to understand and resolve life challenges.

My approach to therapy is client centered and solution focused. I strongly believe that every mistake, challenge, or failure is just a stepping stone toward success in life. Having a strong sense of compassion and empathy allows me to build a positive and meaningful connection with clients. It is my goal to instill self compassion and self awareness in each individual.

I like to first get to know my clientele by building therapeutic rapport and then by formulating a treatment plan that is personalized or otherwise known as "person-centered" or "client-centered" therapy. This allows for me and the client to come up with a treatment plan that is based on their wants and needs that ultimately allows them to achieve their therapeutic goals. Every client's needs and wants are different and I am here to help navigate that through the therapeutic process. I have been in this profession for a total of 12 years between my education, field experience and providing therapeutic services.

My passion is to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and to help clients work through issues and emotions that are keeping them stuck. Emotions that are common to us all can become overwhelming. Counseling is the solution to understanding how our emotions can keep us stuck in life and how to overcome negative emotions. I have successfully helped clients of all ages and backgrounds with anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and maritial issues.

As a counselor with 16 years experience, I believe in the human capacity for healing and change. I work with adults, adolescents, and children over 6 years old, both individually and in couples and family therapy. I often work with those who are struggling to cope with grief, stress, interpersonal relationships, and/or substance abuse. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, reactions, and behaviors in order to develop a new outlook and find new ways to respond to life. I will strive to empower you, helping you to make improvements that are positive, effective, and meaningful to your goals.

Change occurs with ongoing feedback, practice and encouragement. Challenging times can offer opportunity for self discovery and enhancement.
