Somatic Therapists in North Augusta, SC

Life can be hard, overwhelming, and scary. This often leads to us feeling out of control and adrift, searching for solid ground. Maybe you have felt this way for a while or this is a new feeling. You’ve tried to manage this feeling on your own, but you’ve come to the realization that it’s time to reach out for help. You’ve taken the first step by seeking out therapy. Be proud of the courage and strength that takes! I strongly believe that we all have the capacity to heal and grow within ourselves, but we often need outside support to help us reach and utilize those inner resources. I am here to provide that outside support.

***Offering teletherapy, now accepting new clients**** Relationships require the strength of two people to achieve balance and fulfillment. This means intentionally nurturing and developing an enduring bond by ensuring a sound foundation. Managing relationships, career, and stressors while holding on to a sense of self can feel impossible. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, off balanced, or even numb to the world around you. Whether to strengthen your relationship or empower yourself, together we will work to make sense of things, organize your life, thoughts, and emotions and reinstate a sense of self control.

Hi! My name is Alyssa Livanos and my passion for working in the helping profession developed while working with survivors (all ages) of complex trauma and providing services to survivors of domestic violence during graduate school. This experience allowed me to understand the widespread impact of trauma, which is the lens I practice from when working with children, youth, and adults. I also recognize that we are all affected by trauma differently, and I want you to know that there is no trauma that is “too small” or “too big” for us to process in therapy.

Are you in a season of finding meaning, searching for some peace, figuring out your purpose, trying to make sense of things, or healing from a situation? I offer individualized counseling, wisdom circles, and home funeral planning to help you find meaning, healing, and purpose in your life and death. I work with adults who are going through or have experienced traumatic stress, grief, critical incidents, existential issues, death, dying, moral injury, end-of-life matters, termination of pregnancy, loss to sudden or traumatic death, and suicide pre/ post-intervention.

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.

As a Certified Sex Addictions Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and co-founder of the Center for Sexual and Relational Health, I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sexual/porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, infidelity, and the associated trauma from those behaviors. Because sexual/porn addiction impacts the entire family system, I am also a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist as I help partners navigate the emotional impact created by the problematic behaviors of their loved ones. I journey alongside my clients to help them create a new narrative for themselves so they can move forward.

Are you experiencing loneliness, anxiety, sadness, or any other confusing emotion? Please know you are not alone and there is always HOPE. My name is Michelle and I am a Holistic Psychotherapist located in South Carolina. My approach to therapy addresses the whole person in terms of mind, body, and spirit. Once an individual gains awareness of these connections, they often have improved self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-love. The main modalities I use are Emotional Freedom Techniques, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Hi there! Sometimes life can be emotionally and mentally exhausting. We give so much energy to our roles as a father, mother, wife, co-worker, daughter, son, etc, that we forget to pour back into ourselves. I believe self-care is not an indulgence, but a means of self preservation. Allow me to provide a safe haven where you can just focus on YOU! Stress is inevitable, but change is possible, its time to put you first!

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIMPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, nationally. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized and blatantly and microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

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!

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist-Candidate and a member of the treatment team at the Center for Sexual and Relational Health, I work with individuals and couples struggling with sexual/pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, and infidelity. Also certified in Betrayal Trauma, I work with individuals to aid them in the process of identifying, understanding, and healing from the deep, far-reaching, and painful impact caused by an intimate betrayal. In addition, I work with couples to address a wide variety of issues including communication, connection, conflict, friendship building, and enrichment.

Are you looking for a therapist who is effective, but can also relate? Are you feeling like life has taken a turn and you need some help navigating through it? As far as others know, you appear to be doing just fine, but inside you may have constant feelings of regret, fear, shame, or sadness. You may even be married and have come to a fork in the road where conflict and arguments are happening more than you would like. Many people seek therapy because something just doesn't feel "right." Listen...I totally get all of this.

Empowering Lives Counseling and Consulting is skilled in provided services for a wide range of mental and emotional problems to families, individuals, children, teens, and couples. While friends and loved ones can be a great source of support, we provide that extra guidance and expertise that can help promote inner healing.

A particular quote by Maya Angelou always resonated with me, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”, and has directed my style of counseling, which is very person-centered, compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all deserve a safe space to turn off our editor, speak freely, and release that which is burdening us. The goal is to empower clients by identifying internal strengths, overcoming excessive and often chronic feelings of guilt and shame, challenging negative beliefs and replacing those with a more positive self image. To find your true voice underneath the layers of previous conditioning.

I believe in the power of transformation for anyone searching for healing and change. I work from a mind, body, spirit perspective that promotes self-awareness, hope, and behavioral change. My desire is to be a sounding board that provides a safe place where you can explore personal issues, make difficult choices, experience personal growth, and enhance communication.
