Therapists in South Carolina

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I specialize in couples who are seeking marriage enrichment, or trying to overcome difficulties in their relationships, or learning how to connect emotionally. I also work with individuals. My goal is to help clients in their struggles, which will help them reach their full potential in society. I know that life is a journey and sometimes we can get stuck in life. I provide a safe environment where the clients can learn and work on coping skills, so they will feel empowered in life. I focus on goals that the clients want to work on without feeling judged.

Clients enter therapy with a need to correct relational, behavioral, social, or mental health misalignments. Issues of life weigh on clients resulting in unhealthy interactions in relational, behavioral, social, and internal relationship with their family members, in educational settings and professional environments. The client's problem may cause a loss of self or interest in things that once mattered. The client wants and needs help now! Our goal is to provide clients with the service and relief they need expeditiously!

Immediately accepting new clients! My counseling approach is largely based on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance/Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have interests specifically in the areas of grief & loss, marriage & couples’ relational issues, and family of origin issues. I see my role as a counselor as a partner who works with the client to process feelings, find healing, and regain hope. I believe that each client can navigate the challenges & the changes life brings and am committed to helping my clients work toward achieving symptom reduction, more self-awareness, & increased confidence.

Accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds and can offer you a nonjudgmental space where we can work to be curious about you and develop the self discovery that can help lead you toward healing. I work with individuals, of all ages, and couples to help balance the disharmony in your life and increase your general sense of wellbeing. I understand how difficult it can be to make yourself vulnerable in this way and I hope to ease that discomfort by creating a comfortable relationship where you feel valued.

Welcome name is Jasmine! I specialize in helping clients rewrite the toxic narratives created by trauma, self-doubt, and relationships. I worked within the behavioral and mental health fields for approx. 10 years; with emphasis and specialized training in marriage, family, and couples' therapy, as well as, childhood and family based trauma. I enjoy helping people free themselves from the chaos and shame that come from maintaining unproductive thought patterns, defeated sense of self, and hypercritical expectations from themselves and others. Allow me to join you as you take back your narrative, and become your most authentic self.

I believe every client is valuable & important regardless of the issues they struggle with. Helping clients recognize their worth, value & inner strengths & learn effective ways to use these strengths & not just focus on their weaknesses and struggles. It's helping clients identify what they can and can't control, manage what they can & learn how to let go or live with what they can't control. I believe everyone can begin again and there's no shame in asking for help in fact it is a strength.

It's difficult making the decision to seek help! When a client finally makes the step to enter counseling, they just hope to find a therapist that is compassionate, non-judgmental, nurturing and able to help them reach their full potential. Throughout my career in working with clients, I've heard many say they wished they entered therapy sooner. Don't hesitate to reach out for support and focus on your self-care and quality of life.

You don’t want to get divorced, but this life won’t do either. You love your partner. You really do. BUT …You crave more inside jokes and fewer misunderstandings. You miss warm hugs instead of the cold shoulder. You’re ready to tally each others’ celebrations, not criticisms. Hell, you’d settle for remembering why you liked each other at the start. I laughed at an instagram reel that said, “why were they teaching me square-dancing and how to play ‘Hot Cross Buns’ on the recorder when they should’ve been teaching me how to do my taxes?” and honestly same …but also…couldn’t they have added one little class about healthy relationships?
