I received my BA degree in Psychology from Columbia College and my MA degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to supporting adult women through life’s challenges with a compassionate, empowering, and trauma-informed approach. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood, and I strive to create that environment for every client I work with. I have experience working with women in a correctional facility and in a private practice setting. I have also worked with adolescent males in the juvenile justice system, adolescent girls, and children in a school setting.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals.
I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.
I am Mira Iheme, Ph.D., a doctoral-level clinician with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. I am known for my energetic, highly positive, and optimistic style, which helps foster a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment. I work actively with clients to identify goals, develop practical strategies, and move toward improved emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
I thrive in helping clients make positive life transitions, overcome obstacles, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and inner strength. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they progress on their personal wellness journey. It is my privilege to support clients as they work toward greater balance, clarity, and fulfillment in their lives.
I enjoy helping others. I've been in this field for almost 13 years. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology/Counseling. I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults focusing on adjustment related issues, depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, behavioral problems, relational problems, and trauma
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I graduated from Norfolk State University with a Bachelors in Child and Family Studies, obtained a Masters in General Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others and are seeking clarity, healing, and meaningful change.
I am a Army veteran and love helping people. I started this journey with my own mental health. I soon realized the power of this process. I did not realize I was always a counselor. It started as a Army Medic helping soldiers in Iraq and now I help everyone.
Hi, I'm Derrick, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and founder of Guardian Path Counseling Services. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health and education, I work with adolescents, teens, and adults facing anxiety, stress, behavioral concerns, emotional challenges, and life's many transitions. I've worked in both school and clinical settings and believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not something overly clinical or intimidating.
I focus on building a genuine connection and using plain talk so you can feel comfortable being yourself. From there, we'll work together to better understand what's going on, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Hello I hope this message finds you well. My name is Desiree Bishop and I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support when life feels most challenging. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and over seven years of specialized experience, I blend deep clinical expertise with genuine empathy to help you navigate your healing journey.
My foundational work providing intensive therapy within the correctional and community mental health systems instilled in me a profound respect for human resilience. These experiences taught me to meet every client exactly where they are—entirely free of judgment.
My Specialties
Today, I proudly serve the Horry County community, partnering with individuals to manage complex mental health concerns, including:
- Mood Disorders: Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder
- Dual Diagnoses & Complex Needs
- Life Transitions: Grief, loss, and building emotional strength
- Personality Challenges
I specialize in working with folks navigating the complexities of anxiety, life stress, and trauma. Clients are drawn to me when they are seeking support to alleviate the weight of these challenges and regain a sense of inner peace and stability. Their primary need is to feel heard, understood, and validated in their experiences. They are not searching for quick fixes or superficial solutions but instead crave genuine connection and empathetic guidance.
I have been active in the mental health community since 2019. During this journey, I have had the honor of working with clients from an array of backgrounds and various life experiences including and not limited to survivors of sexual violence, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals experiencing housing instability, and overall assisting people as they navigate their personal healing journey.
As a working parent and spouse, I can relate to how stressed and overwhelming dealing with daily life can be. I’ve spent over 15 years in the counseling field helping individuals, families, and couples navigate everything from daily stress to mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma related disorders. I’m practical and realistic in my approach and love to walk through life with the clients I meet.
