Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


My name is Matt, I'm a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I've spent the better part of 30 years working with people who have found themselves facing real challenges in life: Whether that be difficult life situations or transitions, families under pressure, schools in crisis, or youth struggling to find themselves. What I've learned is that every person can find their own strength and resiliency, even when it doesn't feel that way. I work from a holistic view, not just what's going on with you as a person, but how you relate to the people and environment around you. Change is possible, I would be honored to help be a part of yours.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I'm Carolyn. I've been working in the counseling field since the 90s — and after all this time, the one thing that hasn't changed is how I show up: I come to listen, not to lead. I work with adults, teens, seniors, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, anger, and everything in between. I practice via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in South Carolina, we can work together without you having to drive anywhere or rearrange your whole schedule. I believe you already have what it takes — my job is to help you access it.

Therapist

Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!

Therapist

  • My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
  • I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
  • I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Narlin Smith

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • North Charleston, SC


Hello and welcome! I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.

I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.
