I am Dr. Michelle G. Clay, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and National Certified Counselor with more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, education, training, and community-based services. I earned my doctorate in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University and hold a master’s degree in counseling.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment, higher education, and community programs. My clinical and professional interests include ADHD and executive functioning, trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, family and relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, and helping individuals develop healthier coping and communication skills.
I believe people often already possess more strength and ability than they realize. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping clients better understand what may be getting in the way of the life they want to create. I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world experience into my work and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and able to make meaningful changes at their own pace.
In addition to counseling, I am passionate about teaching, training, and professional development. I have served as an adjunct faculty member, clinical supervisor, facilitator, and conference presenter and enjoy helping both individuals and professionals translate knowledge into practical strategies they can use in everyday life.

I bring over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in education and counseling settings, and I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges in a supportive, practical way. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, stress, burnout, family conflict, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, and people-pleasing patterns.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change. I especially enjoy helping clients strengthen boundaries, build emotional resilience, break unhealthy cycles, and move toward lives that feel more balanced and authentic.

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.

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!
