Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.
I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.
When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Summerville, SC
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.
