Counseling and therapy in Myrtle Beach, SCA warm, confidential room. Real skills to take home.
As a licensed independent social worker for clinical practice, I provide traditional counseling and psychotherapy for adults, teens and children. In person in Socastee, or online anywhere in South Carolina.
What we work on
If it's getting in the way of how you want to live, it counts.
Anxiety and stress
Racing thoughts, the knot that never quite leaves, panic that shows up uninvited. We find what feeds it and build skills that actually hold under pressure.
More →Depression
The flat, heavy weeks. Counseling that works on how you think and what you do, not just how you feel about it.
More →Trauma and PTSD
At your pace, with the ground under your feet first. Nothing gets forced open.
More →Grief and loss
Of a person, a marriage, a version of your life. A place to carry it without being told to move on.
More →Relationships and family conflict
Couples, parents and adult children, the same fight in different clothes. Communication and assertiveness skills that change the pattern.
More →Divorce and single parenting
The practical and the emotional at the same time, because that's how it arrives.
More →Career changes and transitions
Leaving, starting, getting promoted, getting stuck. Clarity on what you want and a plan to get there.
Children and teens
Behavior, school, focus, big feelings. Parents are part of the work, always.
More →What a session is like
Direct, warm, and going somewhere.
We start with what's going on now, in your words. From there we set something to aim at: fewer panic attacks, a conversation you've been avoiding, a decision you keep deferring. Every session after that is in service of it.
You'll get a mix of talk, practical tools, and homework when it helps. Where it fits, I'll suggest a hypnotherapy session or two alongside counseling, because some things change faster underneath than on the surface.
Sessions are 50 minutes. How many you need depends on what we're working on, and I'll give you an honest estimate on the first call rather than keeping you guessing.
Life coaching
For when nothing is wrong, and you still want more.
Coaching is forward-looking: clarify what you want, set the goals, build the plan, and clear what's been in the way. Business owners, executives, parents and students use it to get to the next level with someone in their corner who will hold them to it.
It's not therapy, and I'll tell you if what you're describing needs the other door instead.
For clinicians
Clinical supervision for LMSWs.
I'm a qualified clinical supervisor for Licensed Master Social Workers working toward independent licensure in South Carolina. Clinical and professional support, case consultation, and the hours you need, from someone who runs a private practice and knows what the step looks like from the other side.

Depression counseling
When getting through the day takes everything you've got, the last thing you need is open-ended talk with no direction. Counseling that works on how you think and what you do, not just how you feel about it.

Trauma and PTSD therapy
Trauma work starts with safety, not with the hardest story. We build the ground under your feet first, and go only as far and as fast as you can hold.

Relationship and family counseling
Couples, parents and adult children, families going through divorce. Most conflict is one pattern repeating, and patterns can change.

Grief counseling
Grief doesn't only follow a death. It follows a divorce, a diagnosis, a move, a career that ended, a version of your life that didn't happen.

Counseling for children and teens
Behavior, school, focus, worry, anger, sadness. Kids and teens don't always have the words, and that's exactly what counseling helps with.

Same work, same 50 minutes, without the drive. Online counseling anywhere in South Carolina, and online hypnotherapy from anywhere in the world.

Russian-speaking therapist
Some things only come out right in your first language. I grew up in Perm and studied law in Moscow before I ever studied people, and sessions can be in Russian or English, whichever you think and feel in.
