Connect with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy in Myrtle Beach, SC

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.

I support people from all walks of life, including military, veterans, first responders, teens, and adults. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to reach out for help, and I want to support that first courageous step.

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 offer compassionate counseling specializing in anxiety, trauma recovery, and couples work. My mission is to help you foster resilience, healing, and healthier connections so you can live a life that feels fulfilling and balanced.

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.

Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous and powerful step toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to reach out for support, especially when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. Entering therapy is not a sign of weakness but a deep act of self-awareness and self-care.

My pronouns are (she/her). I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC in 2012. I earned a master’s degree in Social Work from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio in 2019. I am licensed to practice in the states of NC, SC and VA.

I am passionate about supporting my clients as they navigate interpersonal challenges, life transitions, mental health challenges, and personal growth in a supportive environment where my clients can explore their emotions and work toward meaningful change.

Here at Purpose Place counseling, my goal is to provide a safe haven that doesn't contain judgment brought on by the world. This haven is yours, and I am just a part of it, providing a warm, supportive environment.

I believe everyone can heal from trauma, solve problems, and improve their lives. I help people of all ages find solutions, learn skills, set goals, and manage emotions related to trauma and stress. I've helped clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, anger management, and parenting challenges.

It takes courage to look for a therapist, and that first step says a lot about your readiness to grow and heal. My role is to provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s not working, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more connected and authentic.

Beginning therapy is a courageous step. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with anxiety or depression, or working through trauma, you're not alone—I'm here to support you. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning each session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals.

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.

Using complementary therapy approaches, we'll work together to change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions holding you back from a more fulfilling life. If you're seeking support through a challenging situation or ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

I help individuals, couples, and teens strengthen connections, build confidence, and navigate life's transitions with compassion and evidence-based care. Together, we'll create a safe space where healing and growth can begin.

I'm passionate about supporting individuals experiencing challenges with their mental and emotional health. I work to stamp out stigma and boost mental health awareness, helping you find growth and well-being during difficult times.

Taking the first step is never easy, but it can be so beneficial to your life. I hope to continue the journey with you toward recovery and support you in becoming the best version of yourself.

I work with adults, adolescents, families, and couples facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting challenges, grief and loss, gender identity, sexual trauma, and ADHD. It takes courage to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here to support, encourage, and empower you on that journey.

I help individuals navigate life's challenges with a deep commitment to transformative growth. My passion for mental health stems from my own experiences overcoming depression and anxiety through therapy and healing practices. I bring warmth and understanding to every session.

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.

I’m Dr. Chad Parker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I provide a practical, compassionate space for teens, adults, families, and leaders to work through stress, trauma, relationships, and life transitions while building healthier patterns and greater clarity.

There is a reason for all behavior, and when it comes to people seeking true wellness. I enjoy helping people change and explore themselves.

I believe the most important thing I can offer as a counselor is this: genuine care. A mentor once told me, “Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care,” and that has stayed with me throughout my career. It shapes how I show up in every session, with authenticity, presence, and respect for your experience.
