I strive to provide a safe and collaborative atmosphere to help you accomplish your goals for therapy. My style is laidback and warm while being motivational and direct.

I have spent the last 5 years working as a co-occurring counselor for addictions and mental health disorders which has given me a broad framework to support a variety of clients and experiences. I am an LPC in South Carolina specializing in grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions and stress. I work with adolescents, young adults and the adult population. My passion is helping people recognize their strengths and find peace with their past.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Addictions Counselor, a Certified Dementia Practitioner, a Community Residential Care Facility Administrator, and a Certified Tier 3 trained Military Counselor. I am a Clinical Mental Health professional with over 25 years of experience and leadership skills in the Mental Health realm. I specialize in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Grief/Loss, PTSD, Addictions, Motivation, Self-Esteem and Weight Loss.

Everyone has a story and sometimes parts of that story can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. I became a therapist because I believe every person’s story deserves to be heard, understood, and worked through with others. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma, or major life transitions, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with both adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Therapy is meant to be a place where anyone can feel safe and understood. With all of the major stressors that kids are facing in this current age, it can be a game-changer for a child to have a place where they feel accepted and supported. I became a therapist not to pathologize or diagnose children, but to become another safe adult in their support system who guides them to their goals and cheers them on from the sidelines. I specialize in helping children and teens ages 3–17 navigate through emotional challenges, stressful life transitions, and difficult developmental experiences through play therapy and a warm, supportive environment.

Greetings! My name is Fredricka Brown, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Holistic Wellness Counseling Services, LLC. From the start, I have dedicated my career to supporting adolescents and adults as they navigate depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions– all of the moments that matter most. With over two decades of experience working with children, teens, and young adults in community settings, at home, and within the school system, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges individuals face at every stage of life.

Do you often notice that you have self-critical thoughts and beliefs? Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I am licensed in SC, NC, NJ, FL

I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety and / or depression. We can't control what happens much of the time but can learn to navigate it.

I have a deep understanding and extensive clinical experience working with people who have been impacted by cancer or other life-altering medical diagnoses or situations. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space built on compassion and curiosity.

As a licensed therapist serving South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to working with diverse populations, particularly focusing on young adults, men's issues, and those experiencing life transitions.

• My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
• I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
• I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I have been a Social Worker for 30 years! That's crazy for me to think about because I am not THAT old......and I have learned a lot (about myself) along the way. I have learned that I do like to talk to people more than I let on. I have learned that I can be very patient listener and I give good feedback. And, I have learned that, at some point, we all have to make changes in our lives and that can be scary. I have also learned it's not as scary when we talk about it out loud........just saying.

Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of

therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the

collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic

through various treatment options.
