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.
La vida se mueve en olas. Life moves in waves. I started Olas Therapy because I am passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, and families in navigating trauma, big emotions, and identity exploration with a holistic and personalized approach- helping clients ride life’s waves with resilience and connection. I provide services in Spanish and English, and I love working with kids of all ages. I am particularly interested in supporting caregivers in navigating parental challenges to foster a healthy parent-child relationship and promoting healthy sexuality across the lifespan.
Counseling with a sense of humor! Licensed therapist since 2007.
I am a Army veteran and love helping people. I started this journey with my own mental health. I soon realized the power of this process. I did not realize I was always a counselor. It started as a Army Medic helping soldiers in Iraq and now I help everyone.
I work with adults who are coping with chronic medical conditions, major life changes, and the motional weight that can come with navigating the healthcare system. Many of my clients are adjusting to new diagnoses, dialysis or kidney disease, disability, caregiver stress, or the anxiety and depression that often accompany health challenges.
As a medical social worker, I bring a strong understanding of how physical health and mental health intersect. I help clients process loss, rebuild a sense of control, and develop practical strategies to manage both emotional and day-to-day stressors.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.
I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.
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.
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.
With 30 years of experience working with people of all cultures and backgrounds, I believe that learning more about oneself is a gift for our inner health. Therapy can be an important resource for clarifying concerns and formulating strategies which could lead to positive choices. My approach is open, non-judgmental and interactive. Therapy does not need to be a long term process but can be an effective tool for developing better coping mechanisms. I have experience working with children and adolescents; and adults.
As a working parent and spouse, I can relate to how stressed and overwhelming dealing with daily life can be. I’ve spent over 15 years in the counseling field helping individuals, families, and couples navigate everything from daily stress to mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma related disorders. I’m practical and realistic in my approach and love to walk through life with the clients I meet.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Simpsonville
Finding therapists in Simpsonville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist’s background fits that need. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns that match what you want to address. A bio can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples-focused support.
Simpsonville is a smaller market, so local in-person availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus in one place.
Therapy in Simpsonville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, check your insurance, see an estimated session cost upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
