Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with over 25 years of experience working with teenagers and adults. I am also a Rostered Therapist for Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have provided services in an outpatient mental health clinic, Telehealth and a juvenile justice detention facility. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma and anger management.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. My professional background includes individual therapy, executive functioning, relationship concerns, anxiety, life transitions, and multicultural counseling. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in helping people who feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or stuck reconnect with themselves and move forward with intention.

Outside of therapy, I'm an entrepreneur, recording artist, and lifelong learner who enjoys cooking, staying active, dancing to Zumba and Afrobeats, listening to jazz and old-school R&B, and spending time with family and close friends. Those experiences remind me that life is about more than getting through the day. It's about creating a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and aligned with who you are.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous one. I create an open and safe environment for you to embark on your therapeutic journey. In my practice I take a strength-based approach to help you learn and grow. I am interested in exploring who you are as an individual and helping you get where you want to be. Together I hope to build a respectful and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

As a child, adolescent and adult counselor, I am passionate about helping others through life's challenges. My goal is to provide a safe space to support growth, transparency, and change. I work with individuals, families and couples to facilitate goals, provide coping skills, and improve overall understanding of how to utilize these in everyday life, school, and home. Before becoming an LPC I was a certified Pastoral Counselor specializing in marriage. Certification was from Liberty University in 2008.

I have been a therapist for 13 years. My training is in Expressive Arts Therapy, Somatic Work and Systems Therapies. I have worked in a variety of settings from outdoor education to residential and IOP. Most of my background has been in supporting individuals or families with children with complex developmental needs and neurodiversity. I love working with folks of all ages and backgrounds and am an ally.

Personally, I love crafting, cooking, paddle boarding and traveling to National Parks with my husband and two small children.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, and I look forward to knowing more about you!

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 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.
