My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I don't believe therapy is about someone telling you how to live. Instead, I see our work together as a process of slowing down, getting curious about what's happening beneath the surface, and making space for you to figure it out. I'm particularly drawn to the places where life gets complicated: transitions, relationships, loss, identity, anxiety, trauma, self-worth, and those seasons when the person you thought you were—or the life you thought you'd have—no longer quite fits. My work is informed by trauma-responsive and relational approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma therapies such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Hello! I'm Amanda Mullen, a Licensed Therapist, 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.
Welcome to my bio! I have been a certified and licensed therapist since 2011-I am currently licensed in PA, SC and NC. I LOVE what I do and have the best clients in the world! My favorite clients are those that had a bad run with a weird therapist (the hesitaters), those who "aren't sure therapy really works (the naysayers)and specialty populations like first responders (the savers), couples (the lovers), and LGBTQ (the gayer's) (makes it crazy during political seasons haha!). My clients call me "funny," "authentic," and "like a professional friend."
I am a mother of 4, a wife, and a 21yr active army veteran. I enjoy helping people in many capacities from mental health, life coaching, real estate consulting, and community service. So, if you are ready to embark on this journey, allow me to accompany you as a sounding board and guide. I’ll bring my compass and I can't wait to meet you.
Welcome! My name is Melanie and I am the own of A Mindfulness Practice LLC. I earned my MS in Counseling with a concentration in mental health at NOVA Southeastern University in 2019. I have experience working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse. My work with adolescents includes depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and sexual identity.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who integrates clinical expertise with Christian values to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe that true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey.
I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Services are provided to individuals who are physically in the states of SC, FL, GA, PA and OH.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.

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.
