Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to manage your emotions, relationships, work, family expectations, and everything else at the same time. You may look like you have it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.
I’m Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional with 16 years of experience, who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes.
I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they have spent a long time putting everyone else’s needs before their own.
My goal as your clinician is to help each client set their therapeutic goals and reach them. I am a second set of eyes here to help you during this journey.
I'm Paula McKnight-Leggette, a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving patients across South Carolina through telehealth. I focus my practice on anxiety, depression, and stress — the things so many people carry quietly for years before they reach out. Watching people struggle through it day after day is a big part of why I do this work. I'm an optimist by nature, and that isn't something I leave at the door. I've seen people get better, and that belief shapes how I show up for every person I work with. Outside of work, you'll find me traveling, shopping, or spending time with my family. Those are the things that fill me back up.
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.
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.
Grief, loss, anxiety, and depression can make everyday life feel harder to navigate. I support clients working through bereavement, end-of-life concerns, anxiety, and depression in online therapy. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, with 17 years of experience. I want you to feel heard, respected, and supported as you make sense of what you’re carrying. If you’re looking for a compassionate space to talk openly, I welcome you to reach out.
I am licensed in South Carolina with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with lgbtq+ related issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I also have experience working with concentration, memory and focus (adhd). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals facing anxiety, stress, and performance-related challenges. My approach is collaborative, focusing on identifying your strengths and developing practical tools for mental well-being. My goal is to help you build resilience and achieve your personal and professional goals through personalized support.
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I come to you as a SC Licensed Professional Counselor having 20 + years experience. I have worked with a wide variety of disorders as well as individuals who just need support through a difficult season of life. As you are seeking counseling, are you interested in functioning better with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, hurt, anger, and stress in your life? Do you have unresolved childhood or past adult experiences that affect you still today? Have you tried talking to counselors in the past without much improvement? Have you found talk therapy produced few results?? I take the approach of dealing with root not just the fruit to address issues. Do not be afraid nor discouraged; there is hope! Whether you experienced such things as a chaotic childhood, invalidating, abusive, toxic, manipulative relationships, and/or PTSD, there are ways to obtain closure. I find helping others with these challenges to be my passion! With research-proven treatment modalities we can process to develop skills and insight that will aid you in moving forward to healthier relationships and day to day life contentment. I commend you for the courage and vulnerability to seek counseling as this is not easy. I look forward to partnering with you in a relationship that includes an ongoing dialog of how we are doing and adjustments as your needs change. I look forward to helping you!
I accept the following insurances only: Aetna, Cigna, United, Oxford/Optum, Quest, and Carelon Behavioral. However, I do NOT accept EAP nor Medicare.
My name is Shirley Bradley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Woker in the state of CT and a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice in the state of SC. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2012. I am a very well-rounded therapist, working with patients with substance abuse, psychiatric issues, depression, anxiety, family therapy, children in crisis and hospice/end of life planning with patients and families. I also have a lot of experience with grief/bereavement support groups.
I work with individuals (age 18+) and couples. I specialize in substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image concerns, and trauma – especially when the struggle shows up as patterns you've tried over and over to change but can't seem to stick. Many of my clients look like they're functioning on the outside, but internally feel stuck, ashamed, disconnected, or frustrated. They've tried to power through, manage it privately, or convince themselves it's not that serious...until it keeps happening.
My background in fitness and nutrition shapes how I approach this work. Healing isn't just about changing your thoughts – it involves your body, your habits, and your nervous system. Together we’ll look at what’s driving the patterns, what they've been doing for you, and how to build something that actually feels sustainable instead of relying on willpower alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bluffton
Searching for therapists in Bluffton starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Some profiles may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others focus on populations, life stages, or specific concerns.
In a smaller city like Bluffton, local office options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping care accessible from home. You may also want to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.
Therapy in Bluffton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
