Therapists in Myrtle Beach, SC

Prior to becoming a licensed professional counselor I worked in a number of related counseling areas. Our histories create in us the skills to manage or mismanage; to be brave or be fearful; to trust and mistrust and to know when to love or love till it hurts. Do you often find that as you make your way through life you encounter self doubt, frightening levels of hopelessness and fear? As you struggle with these questions, issues and feeling, your struggle may be weighed down by a sense of fear as to who to trust and how to love.

Are you lost? Lonely? Grieving? Acting or thinking in ways you don't understand? Looking for something more in your life? Not knowing what the next step is? Wanting to make big, positive changes (or even small ones) and don't know how? I love helping people explore their lives and themselves! Let's find out what's next, what's inside, what you want and who you are! We can talk, draw, play, sit... many ways to explore the issues you want to understand. Depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief & loss, childhood trauma. My goal is to help you find your best version of yourself. I LOVE helping others walk through any obstacle.

Successful therapy thrives on trust. I offer an empathic space where clients can genuinely explore feelings and experiences. Initiating this journey might be daunting, but with mutual openness, a dash of humor, and commitment, my clients and I often forge a meaningful connection quickly.

Working with a diverse client population is what keeps me going and motivated each day. I enjoy getting to know the lives of each of my clients and learning what make them tick. Each of us have so much to offer the world as well as each other and we sometimes lose sight of that. Whether you are struggling with issues around gender identity, your past traumas and their current effects, or looking to improve your family or intimate relationships, I would love to work with you as you grow and learn ways to improve your life on your terms. You are the author of your own novel and I would enjoy helping you fill the pages with positivity.

Is your relationship struggling and you are considering couples counseling? All relationships go through rough patches but sometimes we need help from an objective outsider who can offer insight and direction on how to move beyond past hurts and move towards a relationship with better communication and respect for each other's differences. Or is it that you have been feeling so much anxiety, stress, and depression that you feel you have no idea how to manage your daily emotions? We all have times where we need a supportive person and someone to help empower us to get back to our best self.

I specialize in treating clients suffering from Alcohol, Drug, Sex and Pornography addictions. I am dedicated to my own 19+ years of Personal Recovery from Addictions – and therefore, I am intimately familiar with the extreme Pain, Fear, Shame, and Loneliness that accompanies one’s Addiction. I would be honored to help you, if you are sincerely committed to a new life of Sobriety and Freedom from Addiction.

I would like to welcome you to a counseling relationship where you will be supported throughout the journey. In a safe and comfortable environment you will be able to feel what you need to feel and explore why you feel that way and what to do with those feelings. We will use tools to help develop specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and timely goals and objectives. We can explore traditional diagnoses and a plethora of emotions or perceptions that capture the vastness of who you are and how you operate in this world. If you are interested in gaining insight into doing life or doing it better, please let me help you.

I am so glad you're here! My name is Michelle and I specialize in Sex Therapy. Pretty wild, I know. While I understand that not everyone has sexual concerns and questions, our mental health can be greatly affected by sex and sexuality; whether you're having it or not. I believe sex is a big part of the human experience and we need safe, positive and affirming professionals to talk to about it. I like to take a collaborative approach to therapy to help you identify what your goals are to achieving sexual wellness. I am trained first and foremost as a mental health professional but for those needing help with sexual issues, I am here.

Psychotherapy is a lifelong arduous learning and self exploration process that will improve the quality of life. I approach therapy with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and respect. I will competently employ techniques in which I have received training to assist you in reaching your goals. Technics I may use are EMDR, hypnosis, confrontation, desensitization, homework, humor, imagery, 'I' statements, modeling, psychodrama, journal writing and role-playing. If through the course of psychotherapy an acceptable degree of progress is not reached, I will refer you to another licensed professional.
