Christian Therapists in Columbia, SC

Looking for two LPC-A's that need supervision. At some point in life, you may be faced with emotional challenges. It may feel impossible to figure out how to get your life back in order. No matter what your issues may be, you have found someone to help you get back on track. With my clients I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment, which allows them to freely express their emotions. My passion is working with individuals that experience anxiety, depression and trauma.

Tired of feeling stuck, misunderstood, & disconnected? Get help today! I am part of Foundations Family Life Counseling and Consulting (FFLCC). At FFLCC we focus on topics such as life adjustments, depression, anxiety, relationship / family issues, and trauma. We specialize in trauma and childhood attachment issues, working to resolve big or little traumas or negative experiences which tend to impede emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual growth. We focus on healing rather than just coping, by finding and resolving underlaying issues. I specialize with Military Families and have served in the Armed Forces for many years.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many experience that journey as compromised by difficult transitions or painful circumstances in their lives, threatening to rob them of their joy. These blockages may come from events in the present such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. We provide individual, group, and family sessions to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. We explore issues and allow clients to choose to heal mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

I also work with those struggling with depression and anxiety. I am EMDR trained and have years of experience working with the military community and their families. I enjoy traveling and exploring other countries. I am fun-loving and caring. I often put a twist on difficult situations by adding hope and empowerment. I am licensed in South Carolina and Virginia.

On the outside people see you as "put together" because you're gritty and tough even when you don't feel it. Yet inside its impossible to narrow down your symptoms to one category because you feel ALL of the things, maybe even all at the same time. Confusion, stress, pain, heartbreak, fear, loneliness, sadness and anger are your normal. Because when you've experienced hard, difficult things in your life, those feelings ARE normal. You're tired of "faking" being ok as life has become overwhelming. When was the last time you felt confident and present, able to be ENOUGH for yourself and others? Maybe its time to feel that again.

Are you ready to discover your truth? Are you ready to shed light on what has been holding you back? Do you struggle with direction and decision-making? I am a culturally sensitive and highly effective psychotherapist who is focused on helping you discover and maintain a healthy life balance. With the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Faith-Based Counseling, I will work with you to address issues of Trauma, Abandonment, Emotional/Phyhsical/Sexual Abuse, Rejection, Grief, Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Adjustments, Unforgiveness, and Hurt from past relationships and difficulties.

Life can be tough and painful at times, but you don't have to journey alone! Whether you are struggling with anxiety, panic, difficult life circumstances, or relational stress, I can help you make sense of your pain and work toward feeling better. As a counselor, I see it as a privilege to come alongside you and offer a safe and accepting atmosphere that will empower you toward healing and growth. I particularly enjoy working with college aged women.

Getting help with your mental health is hard. It's hard enough just to ask for help, but finding the right person and making time to get help while keeping your day to day life on track can make it feel next to impossible. My goal is to provide a safe place where anyone can start dealing with their problems and free up more space in your mind to live and enjoy your life. I have experience helping to address depression, anxiety, history of abuse, religious trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. All are welcome, and if I feel that another provider is a better fit I will go out of my way to help connect you.

Welcome. Helping Men and Couples is the focus of Dr. Robert Lewis Bozard. I offer talk-based Doctoral-level therapy for Anxiety, Relationships, Sexual Issues, Depression, College/Young Adults, Self-Understanding, Motivation/Focus, Social Anxiety, Assertiveness, Anger, Porn/Sexual/Gaming Addictions, Pee-Shyness Anxiety and more. Some issues look different in men and go unrecognized or need a different approach.

My counseling style is to connect a client’s goals and hopeful outcomes with the realities of what brought them to counseling and to partner with them to see current breakthroughs as well and a healthy and productive future. I'm excited to work with multi-cultural clients in individual counseling sessions on social-emotional issues, grief and loss, sudden life changes, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, career counseling, and marriage/family counseling. My hope is that with my support a client will hopefully change their current reality in a space where it’s okay to not be okay.

Help can come in many forms, but professional help can form the lasting results needed to thrive. I offer individual, family, and couples counseling and I’m committed to assisting each client move towards their goals by providing a safe space to explore, identify and challenge their needs, thoughts, behaviors, and goals. We all have different inner gifts, thought processes, and needs that motivate us to reach our goals, behave and think in certain ways. But there can be moments or seasons in life that are difficult and challenging in ways that we cannot understand or move past on our own. Allow me to help.

I enjoy helping my clients envision the life they want to live and problem-solving ways to overcome barriers to that life. My clients are seeking a supportive space to heal and grow. Clients looking for a balance between processing their struggles and working hard to bring about change in their lives will match well with my style and approach to therapy.

LOVE.ENCOURAGE.INSPIRE.EMPOWER. These words describe actions that I employ with my passion for helping people. I enjoy working with clients to achieve the positive vision they have for thier lives. Sometimes life happens! Yes. I have had life experiences that I had to work through, too. How do you react when it happens? Is your vision strong enough and real enough to you that you jump up and continue on the path to destiny?

In this world, money matters. If you don’t have a good grip on your money, or if you feel very anxious when you try to plan your financial future, that’s going to take a huge toll on your life. Your health may suffer, your relationships may suffer, and you might even make worse financial decisions and lose a lot of your money as a result. In my work as a therapist, I’ve seen how our money issues can affect our whole life, which is why I decided to become a financial therapist for people in South Carolina and North Carolina.

Life can be complicated and overwhelming at times. In response to difficult situations people often lose sight of themselves, which can create internal conflict, leading to external issues. Integrity Counseling and Wellness provides individual, group, and family counseling to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. Our approach to the internal conflict includes a holistic perspective that brings about a sense of wholeness from the dis-ease of life's challenges. Change can be an uncomfortable and scary process. With the help of professionals that understand the normalcy of crisis situations, the process of healing, growth, and truth is attainable.

I serve as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. I have experience in a wide range of settings including schools, a mental health center, and psychiatric hospitals. My training as Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and a certified high school teacher enhance my skills to work with parents and their children with many issues they encounter in an educational and social environment, such as bullying, conflict resolution, anger management, low esteem, and many other issues that they may encounter throughout the school year. I provide supervision for Counseling Practicum and Internship, and LPC-I.
