Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Columbia, SC covered by Cigna

For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.

Hi! I am D'Arion, I’m a therapist and the founder of Sincerely, your brain., LLC. My approach is rooted in warmth, authenticity, and creating a safe space where clients can truly be themselves.

I specialize in working with children through play therapy, supporting them in expressing emotions, building coping skills, and navigating life’s challenges in developmentally appropriate ways. In addition, I have a deep passion for supporting young women and college students as they transition into adulthood—navigating identity, independence, and all of the changes that come with this stage of life.

Right now, I’m also pursuing my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, which keeps me closely connected to both current research and the training of future counselors.

My specific areas of focus include:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Life transitions (student transitions, adulthood, career shifts)
• Women’s mental health
• Supporting Black women, Black teens, and communities of color with culturally responsive care

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and tailored to each person’s story. Whether we’re building play-based strategies for a child, or talking through the complex realities of being a Black woman navigating today’s world, I’m here to listen, support, and grow alongside you.

I'm Sam — I work with teens and adults navigating some of life's harder chapters. I've had the chance to work with people carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship stress, and the kind of slow-burn exhaustion that builds when life isn't matching the life you imagined. What matters most to me is that you feel like yourself in the room (or on the screen) — not performing okayness, not bracing for judgment. I'm newer to the field, which means my training is current and evidence-based, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to this work rather than going through the motions. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it. Sessions are available virtually across South Carolina.

I am an LCSW with over 20 years of experience. I have worked as a school social worker and then as a forensic interviewer for most of my career, while also maintaining a small private practice throughout. I work mostly with teens and adults experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, life transitions (college, marriage, parenting, divorce, moving, etc). I practice a nonjudgmental, empathetic approach. I can be helpful with practical solutions and strategies. I aim for you to feel heard and hopeful after every session.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working primarily with adults. I am a therapist dedicated to empowering people to live fully and thrive purposefully. It would be an honor to come alongside you to support you on your transformation journey. My professional experience includes providing support to individuals and families.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

Maybe you've been carrying something for a while, and it's starting to feel heavier than you can manage on your own. It might be your drinking, your relationship with food, or something from your past that still shows up in your everyday life. I work with adults facing substance use, disordered eating, and trauma, along with the anxiety, depression, and grief that often come with them. If part of you wants things to change and part of you isn't sure, that's a very common place to start. You don't need to have it all sorted out before reaching out. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience and a degree from Liberty University.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.

I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals.

I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.

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.

For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

I believe meaningful support begins with meeting you where you are. As a counselor with 25 years of private-practice experience, I take a warm, grounded approach to therapy, one built on genuine connection, shared understanding, and respect for your lived experience.

My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported as you navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what matters most to you, so our work together feels practical, collaborative, and connected to your everyday life.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or returning for additional support, you do not have to have everything figured out before we begin. We can start wherever you are and take the next step together, at a pace that feels right for you.
