Therapists for college students near Columbia, SC

The students I work best with often share a few things in common. Many of them are trying to balance a lot at once—school, work, family responsibilities, and their own emotional well-being. They’re often the ones who look like they “have it together,” but inside they may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of how to manage everything happening in their lives. Some students come to me because they’re dealing with grief, stress, or big life changes. Others feel disconnected, angry, or stuck...

I use Internal Family Systems as an approach to work on the root of pain and to h...
