Therapists in Boiling Springs, SC

Child and Adolescent psychologist. Ph.D. in Child/School Psychology from an APA-accredited program at McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 2005. I specialize in neuropsychological, psychological, developmental, and psycho-educational testing. Testing is performed for the purposes of diagnosis & treatment planning. I give "understandable" reports with comprehensive treatment plans, referrals to health professions (S&L, OT, PT, & psychiatrists), home-based & school-based recommendations. I equip parents to engage their children in interventions at home, empowering parents to take charge of their children's challenges. I also provide brief screening and treatment recommendations as an alternative to comprehensive testing.

I have been practicing as a licensed clinical psychologist in the Columbia area for over 35 years. I use a caring, and direct, solution-focused approach to help individuals and couples to better understand themselves and to help them find solutions to their difficulties. I treat individuals who experience anxiety, depression, and addictions. I treat couples who are trying to understand how their relationship deteriorated, how to resolve conflicts, how to re-establish emotional intimacy, and how to prevent future difficulties. I also conduct psychological and custody evaluations for individuals and for the court system.

Change is one of the most difficult things to manage in life. It is uncomfortable and challenging; you need a competent therapist that you are confident in. Competence is essential. I have served in direct care up through senior executive roles in the public, government, and private sectors in counseling businesses and the military, while maintaining the highest levels of counseling licensure. Confidence is needed. At Delta Counseling Services, I bring over a decade of success where other therapists failed yielding results for my clients. Telehealth: Available throughout South and North Carolina!

You have an unmet need to feel heard in the midst of the noise, distractions, loss, never ending pressure, and stress that surrounds you. You want to break free so that you can enjoy a focused, balanced, and functional life, but don't know how. The anxiety, grief, depression, worry, insomnia, trauma, and chaos associated with coping and fitting in can be so overwhelming that you need some hope, directions, and solutions.
