Sylvia Wardy, LPC — Therapist in South Carolina

Hi there, I'm Sylvia!

I work with adults navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to adulting and aging. My approach is warm and collaborative, helping you gain insight into the emotions and thoughts that shape your experience.

My focus

I work with adults 18 years and over, specializing in the following: Grief and Loss, Anxiety, Depression, adjustment-related disorder (s), issues related to adulting and the aging process, family systems, self-esteem, and trauma-informed care, while keeping careful consideration of cultural, ethnic, and economic concerns and practices.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach tailored to your needs, with extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT is a collaborative model where we work together to uncover the drivers of unhealthy emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, helping you develop healthier patterns and clearer insight.

My communication style

My style is personable, warm, calm, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe space where you feel comfortable discussing any issue. I may offer homework assignments to build skills and track progress between sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to connecting with others and listening deeply. Growing up, I spent time with an older neighbor, learning the value of human connection through her stories. That desire to support and connect with people is at the heart of my work as a therapist.

My goals for you

I tailor my approach to your individual needs. Together, we explore your core beliefs and values to clarify what you hope to achieve in therapy, ensuring your goals guide our work.

Our first session

We'll spend our first session building rapport and understanding your concerns. We'll discuss your mental health history, needs, and therapeutic goals, and I'll answer any questions you have about the process and what to expect moving forward.
