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.

  • My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
  • I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
  • I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Life doesn’t always give you time to catch your breath, whether you’re managing

anxiety and depression, moving through a stressful life transition, or facing a chronic

illness or end-of-life diagnosis. For over 12 years, I’ve helped adults and seniors find

steadier ground through anxiety, depression, chronic illness, end-of-life care, and the

stress of young adulthood, in a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space. If you’re

looking for a therapist to walk alongside you, I’d love to connect.

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

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.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

I served 30 years in the United States Army — including combat deployments — before becoming a licensed therapist. That wasn't a career pivot. It was a calling. I know what it feels like to carry things you can't explain to people who weren't there. I also know that those same people are often the ones you love most.I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider, serving individuals, couples, and groups across South Carolina — in person in Saint Matthews and online statewide. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety, with a particular focus on veterans, military families, and adults navigating the long aftermath of difficult childhoods.I'm trained in Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) — a pattern where emotional needs go unmet in childhood and quietly shape everything from relationships to self-worth to how you handle stress decades later. Many of my clients didn't grow up in crisis homes, but still find themselves struggling to connect, feel, or be fully present. That's often CEN. And it's treatable.I accept most major insurance plan. Sliding scale fees are available, and I facilitate tele-health sessions for insured clients across South Carolina.

I help clients process trauma & recover from substance disorders. I work with survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, childhood abuse, sexual abuse & those suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, SI, grief, co-dependence & ADD. EMDR is available for clients who find they can't “shake-off” the past, as it lives in the present. EMDR allows my clients to move through their trauma and put it where belongs, in the past. Trauma is not your fault but healing is your responsibility.

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.

Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.
