Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in South Carolina

Counseling is actually my 2nd career, doing I.T. Support was my 1st.

While working in that field, I told people that I did just as much counseling as I did I.T. work. Many people came to see me feeling anxious, angry, stressed, overwhelmed, or in grief because of technology issues.

I quickly learned two issues were going on:

· One was technical and the other was emotional.

· One needed repair and the other needed relief.

So, I addressed the person and their emotions first and then addressed their I.T. issues. I spent thousands of hours sitting with people, fixing their technology and giving space for their emotions and...I loved it!

I didn’t realize it then, but these were my first steps which would lead me into pursuing a career as a therapist. Now my work is in Emotional Support and instead of addressing hardware and software, I get to address brainware and heartware.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting children, families, and adults in schools, community programs, and inpatient treatment settings. With master’s degrees in human Behaviors & Conflict Management and Professional Counseling, I take an open‐minded and collaborative approach to care.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow. I believe in partnering with clients from all backgrounds and offering practical, compassionate, evidence‐based support to help you build the life you want.

My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.

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.

About Me

Welcome! My name is William Galloway, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry, crisis and emergency services, pediatric behavioral health, residential treatment, and community-based care. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, and helping professionals who may be navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and ready for something different.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, practical, and judgment-free. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself, speak openly, and feel supported while also being challenged to grow. I utilize an evidence based treatment in my practice to help you progress toward healing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so we’ll work together to understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and develop tools that make sense for your life. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting—sometimes you just need a safe place to begin.

In this position, I overseen a team of therapists, facilitate therapy sessions for both children and adults, and engage in court-related matters.
