Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in South Carolina

I use a four- fold approach to treating beyond traditional psychotherapy to help you on your journey. I have PhD in Clinical psychology, two master's degree (one in community counseling, one in community psychology). I also have a degree in Addictions and one in business management. Having worked every level of care from an inpatient hospital setting, residential long-term care, in a jail, a prison, out-patient levels for intensive three times per week to one time per week and taught in two universities. I am working my favorite level of care on an out-patient setting. Training has been in addictions, mental health, couples and family systems. I have other specialties with chronic pain and nutrition/bariatrics and obesity and available to provide medical and court evaluations with limited testing. I see children from 12 and up and adults/geriatrics.

Hello! I'm Amanda Mullen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice (LISW-CP), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I), licensed in South Carolina and Illinois.

As a veteran and former military spouse, I'm especially passionate about supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. While every person's experience is unique, I understand many of the challenges these communities face through both professional training and lived experience.

One philosophy that guides my work is simple: I don't preach—I teach. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life but to help you better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and gain the confidence to navigate life's challenges long after therapy ends. I genuinely believe in the techniques I use because I've seen their ability to create lasting change.

I also believe healing extends beyond the therapy office. Spending time in nature, slowing down, and reconnecting with yourself can be powerful tools for growth and resilience, and I often encourage clients to incorporate these practices into their daily lives.

My greatest strength as a therapist is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, coping with work stress, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday life—even potty training a new puppy—you'll find a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of clinical and administrative experience, and I provide therapy to clients in South Carolina via telehealth. My background includes more than a decade working within the Veterans Healthcare System, along with experience in private practice, correctional settings, and community-based care. I’ve worked in outpatient addiction recovery, domestic violence and rape crisis centers, and social service agencies, supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds. I bring a compassionate, experienced, and practical approach, grounded in evidence-based therapy.

I help to create a safe, collaborative space where you will feel seen, not judged. Our relationship is one where you can let your guard down and show up as your full self. It is my goal to use a warm and compassionate relationship to walk alongside you, offering reflection, compassion, and challenge when needed to help you reach your goals.

I know beginning therapy takes courage. If you're here, you've already taken a step in the right direction by choosing care. I create a warm, open space where your thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgment, and where healing can unfold at your pace.

I am a Master's level independent clinical social worker and have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and work well with individuals who have experienced complex or childhood trauma. I also work with clients who struggle with ADHD, burnout, anxiety or depression. I became a therapist to help others live up to their full potential and get out of autopilot to find genuine contentment in their lives.

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.

My name is Shirley Bradley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Woker in the state of CT and a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice in the state of SC. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2012. I am a very well-rounded therapist, working with patients with substance abuse, psychiatric issues, depression, anxiety, family therapy, children in crisis and hospice/end of life planning with patients and families. I also have a lot of experience with grief/bereavement support groups.

I help clients regain their sense of power, purpose, and passion in every aspect of their lives. I believe each one of us have been given the ability to transform our lives to where we are not just living, we are thriving! I hope to help clients by connecting them to what they truly want out of their relationships, starting with how they see and relate to self.
