Josephette Dotson, LPC — Therapist in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Hi there, I'm Josephette!

Wonderful to meet you. It’s awesome that you are taking the first step toward wholeness and rediscovering your joy! I’ve worked in behavioral health for several years. It's my goal to come alongside you and promote awareness of the uniqueness you already possess and offer help with challenges currently being faced.

My focus

I work with individuals struggling with the pressures of life. At varying times in our lives, difficulties arise, and we need professional, confident help to listen, empathize, and provide solutions that would move us forward into a better place.

My approach

I utilize person-centered therapy to promote a safe, non-judgmental, authentic space to integrate solutions best for your life.

My communication style

I endeavor to provide a safe, supportive environment to be open and genuine without judgment or condemnation.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for behavioral health grew out of a desire to aid soldiers and their families as a military spouse. Since then, I have grown and expanded to aid various demographics and treat diverse mental conditions.

My goals for you

As the therapeutic relationship is built on rapport and trust, I work alongside clients to accomplish set goals and promote measurable growth through evidence-based treatment modalities and screeners.

Our first session

Your first session will give opportunity to discuss your desire for counseling, your needs, difficulties, and goals desired to reach. I believe the first session is the most important for both client and counselor in building trust, rapport, and receiving tailored, suitable care.
