Debbie Phillips

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I've spent over a decade working with people who are fighting battles most people don't talk about — addiction, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, and the anxiety and depression that come along for the ride. I'm not here to give you a five-step plan. I'm here to be the person who genuinely gives a damn about what you're carrying. I've learned a lot from the great therapists, yoga teachers, and people in recovery who shaped my own life — and my whole purpose is giving that back. I also teach yoga, which means I don't just talk about mindfulness — I live it. Morning, evening, and weekend slots available. Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and Carelon accepted.

Julianne Leshinsky

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


You don't have to have everything figured out to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal-informed interventions (PVT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client's unique needs.

I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York City. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across community mental health, intensive outpatient treatment programs, Head Start consultation, and private practice. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns while helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

As a former collegiate athlete, I have a special passion for working with athletes navigating performance pressure, injury recovery, confidence challenges, burnout, and the mental demands of competition. I understand the unique challenges of balancing athletics with everyday life and enjoy helping clients strengthen both their mental health and mental performance.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and purpose.

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).
