Therapists for college students near Columbia, SC

I have always been driven to listen, to understand and to help others. I know for many people, myself included, asking for help can be a scary and vulnerable thing to do. However, I believe seeking help demonstrates bravery. Vulnerability does not make us weak; in fact, it makes us strong and courageous. I believe everyone has their own story, path, and struggle; it is my desire to meet you where you are at and help you grow into the person you would be proud to be. It is common for us to acc...

Many of the students I work best with are navigating big changes—starting college, moving away from home, adjusting to new academic demands, or balancing school with work and relationships. These transitions can bring excitement, but they can also feel overwhelming. Often, students come to me dealing with anxiety, depression, or a sense of uncertainty about who they are and where they’re headed. In our work together, I use a trauma-informed approach, which means I prioritize creating a safe, ...

One day you realize, "I do not know this person I see in the mirror". It's heartbreaking going day to day feeling unfulfilled and knowing that something is off. You know that there are changes to be made but have no idea on how to get there.

I believe college is a pivotal time, and a unique opportunity to unpack emotional baggage that may be holding you back. Are you stuck in anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, addict...
