Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, or life's unexpected

challenges begin to affect your peace of mind. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted,

constantly overthinking, or simply trying to make it through each day, you don't have to face those

struggles alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I believe therapy should be a place where you feel

genuinely heard, understood, and accepted—without judgment. My goal is to create a safe,

supportive environment where you can be yourself, process difficult experiences, and discover

practical tools that help you move forward with confidence.

I work with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD,

ADHD, grief and loss, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Every

client is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than

taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Madeline Robertson

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

Hello and nice to "meet" you! I have been a licensed counselor since 2004 (SC #4579 and NC #22747). I earned a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill in 1999. Early in my career, I focused my work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as adults. Since then, I have narrowed my focus to victims of trauma, First Responders, and those Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


You deserve a therapist who knows the terrain. I’ve been where you are. I have experienced mental health from every angle—as someone who has done the deep personal work, as someone who has navigated the pain of losing loved ones to suicide, and now as a therapist. When I suggest a tool or a shift in perspective, it’s because I practice what I preach. I know the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and building a life you truly love, and I want that same transformation for you.

A perspective shaped by the world: Growing up with over 30 exchange students from around the globe taught me early on that everyone’s "normal" looks different. This curiosity follows me outside the office, too. This love for travel and culture keeps my mind open and my spirit curious—traits I bring into every session we share.

Rochelle Jones

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I’m Rochelle. I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, and my goal is simple — to help you feel better, think clearer, and live your best life.

My sessions are warm, honest, and conversational. I don’t just listen — I teach practical tools and life skills you can actually use to manage stress, handle emotions, and build healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you and find new ways to create peace and balance.

I take a whole-person approach — mind, body, and spirit — and I especially enjoy helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Therapy with me feels like a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.
