405A East 1st Avenue, Easley, SC

I'm Michelle Smith — LPC, MA in Professional Counseling, and your biggest advocate before you've even said a word. I chose this work because I genuinely believe that every person who walks through the door carries something worth fighting for, and I want to be in your corner while you fight for it. I specialize in working with people who are anxious, exhausted, grieving, or just quietly wondering if things can ever feel different. Spoiler: they can. Whether you're carrying old wounds, navigating a hard season, or searching for something that feels like hope — I'm here for all of it. You have immense value and purpose, and my job is to help you remember that.

My name is Matt, I'm a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I've spent the better part of 30 years working with people who have found themselves facing real challenges in life: Whether that be difficult life situations or transitions, families under pressure, schools in crisis, or youth struggling to find themselves. What I've learned is that every person can find their own strength and resiliency, even when it doesn't feel that way. I work from a holistic view, not just what's going on with you as a person, but how you relate to the people and environment around you. Change is possible, I would be honored to help be a part of yours.

Therapist

1029 Broad Street, Camden, SC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

Tracie Kritch

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


My clinical background spans some of the most intense and intimate settings in social work — hospice care, hospitals, prisons, schools, and special education. I have extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and unexpected moments. Throughout my career, I have learned that every person brings their own story, strengths, experiences, and ways of coping—and I believe those strengths are an important part of the therapeutic process. My approach is warm, compassionate, and strengths-based. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand what they are experiencing, identify what may be getting in the way, and find practical ways to move forward. I use creativity and problem-solving in my work because I don't believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all experience. Grief is often the silent part of change in life's hardest chapters. Loss of a loved one is called bereavement, but loss of any kind is grief. Sometimes grief is woven into need for change. My approach is warm, compassionate, and strengths-based. I also work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and women's issues. I'm licensed in both New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina and bring the perspective of someone who has been present with people in their most vulnerable moments — with compassion, not clinical distance.

Sarah Quinn

Therapist

Virtual • Greenville, SC


I specialize in treating PTSD, childhood sexual abuse, anxiety, dissociative disorders, and addiction issues. Abuse and trauma can create symptoms like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loneliness, troubled relationships, and insomnia. I believe that trauma blocks love and connection, and healing our wounds gives us access to the life that is inherent in all of us. Trauma and addiction can cause you to disconnect from your true self, lose connection to truth, avoid vulnerability, and block communion with others. This causes your nervous system to become dysregulated, and creates issues in all areas of your life.
