Book a therapist or psychiatrist in North Charleston, SC covered by Aetna

You may look like you're holding everything together. But inside, you're exhausted.

Your mind won't slow down. You're replaying conversations, worrying about your child, trying to keep up with work and family, or wondering why things that used to feel manageable suddenly feel so difficult.

Maybe your child or teenager is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, school, friendships, or changes at home—and you're not sure what else to try.

Or maybe you're the one everyone depends on, and you've become so focused on taking care of everyone else that you've stopped feeling like yourself.

You don't have to wait until things get worse to get support.

I'm Cynthia High-Gutierrez, LCSW, a bilingual English/Spanish therapist with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodiversity, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, women's issues, and major life transitions.

My background in public schools, school-based mental health, hospitals, and outpatient therapy gives me a unique perspective—especially when emotional health, family life, relationships, work, and school begin affecting one another.

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.

Hello, thank you for making your mental health a priority! I look forward to working with you on your journey to healing, self-preservation and empowerment. Together we can!

I help to create a safe, collaborative space where you will feel seen, not judged. Our relationship is one where you can let your guard down and show up as your full self. It is my goal to use a warm and compassionate relationship to walk alongside you, offering reflection, compassion, and challenge when needed to help you reach your goals.

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.

I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.

Hiii 👋🏽 I’m Courtney, your community LPC and Doula. I take a grassroots approach to helping people create safe spaces to learn how to feel safe within themselves. Life be lifing for us all, and pressures, -isms, relationships, and survival skills can pull us away from our birthright of joy, peace, and authenticity.

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.

I have been practicing for over 17 years providing Individual and family therapy. My focus is to facilitate strategies and interventions that will bring you hope and transformation.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out!

After retiring from the Army, I went back to school to obtain my masters of Social Work to help others who suffer from trauma and depression. My biggest inspiration for wanting to help others is the help that I have received along the way. It was after seeing my therapist who helped to guide me through gender, dysphoria, and my transition, that I begin my path that has led me here, wanting to help others. My guiding philosophy is that you deserve to treat yourself as good if not better than anyone else. When you feel good, others will feel good too.
