Connect with LGBTQIA+ therapists in Columbia, SC

Welcome. I work with individuals to find purpose, understanding, and healing. It takes strength and courage to reach out for help to tackle life's challenges, and you have taken the first step.

I provide affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community and create therapy that feels safe, collaborative, and genuine.

Welcome. This is a space where your thoughts, feelings and experiences are met with understanding and judgment. Therapy isn’t about “fixing you” it’s about exploring your story, uncovering your strengths and finding new ways to navigate life’s challenges.

We have instant access to people around the world, and yet many feel isolated, alone, and disconnected. Connection starts when someone is willing to listen. Everyone’s story is unique; the counselor’s role is to listen and to partner with clients to help them achieve their unique goals, heal from past hurts, and realize their truest selves.

I have spent the last several years providing direct care to clients experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression, primarily due to caregiver roles, personal/work responsibilities, chronic illness, and concerns related to aging.

I help individuals navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian therapy, and Person-Centered therapy to create a supportive space where clients can explore their strengths and build self-esteem.

Life can change in an instant, leaving you feeling anxious, grieving, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are. As a breast cancer survivor, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding to the therapy process, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to help you process life’s hardest moments.

I have lived a long and colorful life. I've made good and bad choices. I have 22+ years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My life's work can be summed up in three words: "offering people hope".

The decision to connect with a mental health professional takes courage and self-awareness. The pressures of life can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. I aim to create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable discussing difficult topics and feel comfortable to be able to share their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

I congratulate you for confronting pain when needed most. I aim to join you in your journey of empowerment and reaching full potential while moving at your own pace. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, low self-esteem, and life's challenges.

I am here to help you heal. Therapy with me looks like a trauma-informed, solution-focused, collaborative process. This means that I believe in working together to help you heal in a way that considers your life experiences, aspirations, and goals to achieve your mental wellness.

My passion as a therapist is helping individuals step into the best version of themselves. "Therapy isn't about changing who you are, it's about unlocking the best in you that's already there."

I have been a therapist for a little over ten years. I am licensed in Georgia and South Carolina. My approach to therapy is rooted in reality.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with adjusting to life changes, managing challenging behaviors and thoughts, relationship issues, trauma, and addiction.

I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My focus area is trauma-informed care. I utilize a psychodynamic theoretical approach to help clients discover deeper meaning in their experiences and learn to cope with challenges as they face them.

Therapy can feel like a scary step into the unknown. I provide empathetic listening without judgment as you share what you're feeling and experiencing. My approach is creating a safe, comfortable space where you feel heard. I'm here to help you navigate your life, understand your feelings, and move forward.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult. Every person comes to counseling with their strengths, needs, and unique perspective. I utilize a holistic, individualized approach to therapy. Real therapeutic change begins with creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable working collaboratively toward your goals.

Life throws many obstacles. We experience anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional distress; however, we must learn skills to navigate and cope with these times. I can assist you with exploring options and finding coping methods that work best for you to manage these feelings effectively.

First and foremost, welcome! I want to commend you for taking the first step in your healing journey. Whether it is your first time in treatment or you’re returning, it is my goal that this experience is a meaningful one for you. I work with folks navigating trauma, coping with change or life transitions, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, I am passionate about empowering individuals and couples as they navigate life transitions and work toward relational healing. My specialties include sex therapy and support for desire disparity, infidelity recovery, couples communication and conflict repair.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I help individuals who feel anxious, stuck, or misunderstood in their relationships. If you find yourself overthinking, fearing abandonment, or repeating the same dating patterns, we’ll work together to build confidence, improve communication, and create healthier, more secure connections.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and life changes with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to yourself and the life you want to create.

I provide counseling in private practice and coordinate community outreach serving at-risk youths, families, individuals, couples, elderly, poor, imprisoned, homeless, disabled and indigent. I help people stop living in the past and reclaim their joy.

I believe therapy is a safe space where everyone can explore skills that are beneficial in life. I am confident I can assist you on your life journey.
