You deserve a therapist who knows the terrain. I’ve been where you are. I have experienced mental health from every angle—as someone who has done the deep personal work, as someone who has navigated the pain of losing loved ones to suicide, and now as a therapist. When I suggest a tool or a shift in perspective, it’s because I practice what I preach. I know the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and building a life you truly love, and I want that same transformation for you.

A perspective shaped by the world: Growing up with over 30 exchange students from around the globe taught me early on that everyone’s "normal" looks different. This curiosity follows me outside the office, too. This love for travel and culture keeps my mind open and my spirit curious—traits I bring into every session we share.

10 East Avenue, Greenville, SC

Hi! Fun fact about me: 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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Summerville

Searching for therapists in Summerville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs. Some therapists focus on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may highlight experience with couples therapy, marriage counseling in Summerville, Christian counseling, or support for specific life stages.

In a smaller city like Summerville, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. If in-person care matters to you, consider office location, commute time, and appointment times that fit your week. It also helps to confirm whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and provides the type of session structure you prefer. Reading therapist profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, communication approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Summerville can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists, counselors, and psychologists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and may accept your insurance. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare profiles, review specialties, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
