Connect with Chronic Impulsivity therapists in Sumter, SC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience. I’m licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. My experience began in a dual-diagnosis hospital with adolescents facing chronic illness and mental health challenges. "Social work chose me as a way to live out my purpose of helping others find hope and healing".

I’m an LISW-CP, and I’m glad you’re here. At Therapy Blooms Wellness, I help clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, evidence-based strategies, and a space where healing and growth can truly flourish. My practice focuses on empowering individuals of all ages to overcome barriers, build resilience, and bloom.

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.

Are you the strong one? Always showing up for others? Feeling alone, isolated, or misunderstood? I practice a holistic approach where you and I work together to heal the Body, Soul, and Spirit.

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.

Please call me Joe. I am an LPC and a National Certified Counselor, originally from New York City, and have been all around the globe. I bring over 20 years of diverse experience, shaped by extensive training, interdisciplinary education, and a passion for helping others live empowered, fulfilling lives.

Life can be difficult, especially when done alone. Selecting a therapist is a major step, and I don't take it lightly that you have chosen me. My integrated approach is customized to each client's needs. Together, we will work to move you to that place of purpose by gaining positive insights and learning healthy coping strategies.

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".

I specialize in trauma, clinical Christian counseling, and motivational therapy. With a holistic approach, I integrate evidence-based practices and spiritual principles to help clients achieve emotional healing and personal growth.

My approach is to remain straightforward with my clients. No time like the present! I am strongly skilled in analysis, client-centered, and listening/reflective skills. Much guidance will be given in terms of increasing the quality of your life, and this is accomplished by practicing a positive state of consciousness.

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.

I believe everyone is doing their best with what they know, and we're all capable of learning healthier ways of being. I work with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges managing behaviors and emotions. Establishing a strong therapeutic alliance is key to empowerment and successful outcomes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? I help clients facing challenges like anxiety, trauma symptoms, depression, and life transitions with compassion and an open mind. My goal is to help you reach your goals for living the life you want.

Come on in and close the door behind you! It is wild out there! Life is life-ing right now! I am so glad that you stopped by. I'm sure the road you traveled to get here wasn't easy, so please have a seat. May I offer you gentleness for the mind or calm for the heart? Some clarity, perhaps?

A native of Charleston, South Carolina. I have provided counseling for the past 35 years (27 years of that in private practice). I graduated from St. Andrews Parish High School and the College of Charleston before receiving my master's degree in clinical counseling from The Citadel.

I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work with adults navigating life's many transitions and stressors.

Every person is worthy of success, happiness, and wellness. My practice runs on three core beliefs: growth, resilience, and empowerment. Together, we can work on changing dysfunctional habits, reframing beliefs about yourself and the world, and increasing your confidence! All things are possible, but you don't need to accomplish it alone!

Challenges can come when we least expect them. Navigating through challenges can seem overwhelming. That's when working with a skilled and experienced therapist can make all the difference. Helping others navigate the hard work of change has been my focus for over 20 years.

My goal is to guide you through anxiety, grief, work stress, or life transitions that may leave you feeling stuck or lost and help you reconnect with your innate strengths so that you can regain your footing and anchor with your true self.

Your journey starts here. I create a space where you can embrace healing and work toward becoming the person you want to be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Virginia and South Carolina. I am a former teacher who worked with the regular and special education environments. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from the University of the Cumberlands.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Our mind, body, and soul all work together to create who we are. It is important that we work to get each of these aspects of our lives healthy. My therapy approach is eclectic style. I truly believe that each individual has unique needs that I want to ensure I meet.

Have you lost focus or motivation? Need encouragement and self-exploration? Feeling pulled in many directions with a mountain of responsibilities? Feeling sluggish, depressed, or stressed? You have come to the right place, and I am excited to partner with you as we develop an effective, clear approach to your success.

I work with adolescents and adults seeking not only symptom relief, but also deeper understanding and meaningful change. Together, we'll identify patterns that no longer serve you, build practical coping tools, and set goals that align with your values and the emotional life you want to experience—joy, peace, confidence, and connection.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders using evidence-based approaches.
