Therapists in Calhoun County, SC

Most of us are hard on ourselves and tend to avoid or control our emotions. But how useful is this long term? Let's work together to find a better approach. I welcome young adults to my practice-it is a uniquely challenging part of life! I welcome men to my practice-I think it is helpful to work with a therapist who just "gets it" and with whom you can be your full self. I welcome people who are grieving and have experienced significant loss-I know how massively disruptive and overwhelming this can be. Visit my website to get started: www.estuarycounseling.com

I believe, fundamentally, you have a distinct uniqueness about you the likes of which will never be found in this world again. I focus on your specific existence as an individual, and all the complex and integrated mental, physical, emotional and spiritual experiences that have and will occur in your life. A prime motivation in life is to discover meaning and issues like depression, anxiety, traumatic events and relationships cause our life's meaning to be frustrated. Therefore, I work collaboratively with you to deal with any issue that are frustrating your life's meaning and walk with you to rediscover the meaning in your life.

Overcoming obstacles or major life changes can be extremely stressful. I understand that being your authentic self and building\maintaining strong connections are important elements of living a meaningful life. Acknowledging, understanding, and healing traumatic experiences is painful to do, especially alone. Trauma can cause anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and broken relationships.

Treatment programs are tailored to the needs of the individual, and include identifying your goals, revealing the underlying causes of symptoms or issues, and implementing healing strategies that truly empower you. I can help you get results when other therapy has failed!
