Supporting clients to THRIVE, not just survive is my specialty. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years in various levels of care and in private practice for over 18.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (with 21 years of medical experience) specializing in grief, trauma, life transitions, and the emotional impact of medical emergencies on individuals, families. As a counselor, I provide a safe, steady space to process what you’ve been through, make sense of the pain, and begin healing at your own pace—so you can reconnect with yourself, restore meaning, and move forward with greater clarity, strength, and hope.
I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.
I became a therapist because I saw resilience in the most unlikely places. My foundation is in correctional and community mental health work — settings where people are often written off, where hope is in short supply, and where the work of healing matters most. That experience shaped how I practice: with zero judgment, complete presence, and an unwavering belief in people's capacity to change.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, serving adolescents and adults in Horry County and across South Carolina. As a Black female therapist, I bring cultural awareness and lived experience to the work — creating a space where you don't have to explain yourself before we can begin.
I often remind my clients: You are still here. That is proof your story isn't over.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LISW‐CP) with more than 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and high‐stress professionals. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina with a concentration in Individuals, Families, and Groups. I later completed a Play Therapist Training Program at Old Dominion University Norfolk, Virginia, and I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT‐S).
My career has been rooted in service, leadership, trauma informed care and crisis‐responsive care. Across these roles, I’ve provided therapy, crisis intervention, diagnostic assessments, supervision, and program oversight. I’ve supported individuals navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, burnout, family conflict, trauma histories, and major life transitions.
My background allows me to understand both the clinical and human sides of stress, trauma, and resilience.
Hey there! I'm Candace Ferguson, LPC-S, founder of Willow Haven Counseling LLC. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wilmington University in 2017 and have since obtained my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) credentials.
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, self-esteem concerns, stress, and grief.
Hello I hope this message finds you well. My name is Desiree Bishop and I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support when life feels most challenging.

My foundational work providing intensive therapy within the correctional and community mental health systems instilled in me a profound respect for human resilience. These experiences taught me to meet every client exactly where they are—entirely free of judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Rock Hill, SC
Searching for therapists in Rock Hill starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. A bio that mentions methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling can help you understand how they work before you book.
Rock Hill has local therapy options, but the number of nearby appointments may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping access to South Carolina-licensed therapists. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist describes their style, what to expect in sessions, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.
Therapy in Rock Hill 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 care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
