Laurie Forrest

Laurie Forrest

Therapist

Virtual • Greenville, SC


My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I don't believe therapy is about someone telling you how to live. Instead, I see our work together as a process of slowing down, getting curious about what's happening beneath the surface, and making space for you to figure it out. I'm particularly drawn to the places where life gets complicated: transitions, relationships, loss, identity, anxiety, trauma, self-worth, and those seasons when the person you thought you were—or the life you thought you'd have—no longer quite fits. My work is informed by trauma-responsive and relational approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma therapies such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Denielle Nesbitt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Camden, SC


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

Sarah Quinn

Therapist

Virtual • Greenville, SC


I specialize in treating PTSD, childhood sexual abuse, anxiety, dissociative disorders, and addiction issues. Abuse and trauma can create symptoms like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loneliness, troubled relationships, and insomnia. I believe that trauma blocks love and connection, and healing our wounds gives us access to the life that is inherent in all of us. Trauma and addiction can cause you to disconnect from your true self, lose connection to truth, avoid vulnerability, and block communion with others. This causes your nervous system to become dysregulated, and creates issues in all areas of your life.

I’m a licensed therapist who creates warm, grounded, and compassionate spaces for clients to explore their inner world and reconnect with their authentic self. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and trauma—particularly those healing from patterns where they’ve abandoned their needs, voice, or self-worth.

My work blends modern psychotherapy with holistic tools, offering an integrative path toward healing. Whether you’re reconnecting with your intuition, working through emotional stuckness, or rebalancing after burnout or a major life shift, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect.
