Welcome!
As a clinical social worker, I know mental health care is a critical part of building a fulfilling life. It can feel really vulnerable taking the first step towards this work but I firmly believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Throughout my career I have worked with people navigating challenging stressors from a traumatic event to adjusting to a new job. I continue to focus on adults working through these experiences and difficulties managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Hello! My name is Ashya Kennedy. I have been a licensed counselor since 2019. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, LGBTQ+ issues, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work primarily with older adolescents and adults in their 20s and 30s. My practice is called Inner Guidance Counseling because I believe that everything you have and need is within you and it's my job to hold space for you to connect with and follow your inner guidance.
Hi, I’m Olivia, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as you are—even when life feels messy, overwhelming, or hard to put into words. I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and overwhelming emotions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, build practical tools for coping, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and strive to offer a space where clients feel genuinely heard, supported, and respected.
Hi, I'm Bri at Willow Counseling and Play Therapy! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in South Carolina. As a therapist, I serve children (4+), teens, and adults. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients and concerns, but I specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy with children and frequently utilize EMDR with teens and adults to address a variety of issues, such as trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem. My approach always shifts and matches the pace of the client in front of me.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Carolina
Searching for therapists in South Carolina starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Location and format also shape your search. You may prefer an office near Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule from elsewhere in South Carolina. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.
Therapy in South Carolina can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans and helps you find South Carolina therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
