Hello, I’m Dr. Bree Wannamaker, a Licensed Professional Counselor & Supervisor, in South Carolina.  I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, clergy, helping professionals, and leaders find clarity, healing, peace, and purpose through therapy that is compassionate, practical, and tailored to their unique needs. I have approximately 15 years of clinical counseling experience and over a decade of supervising and mentoring counselors. I understand that life can bring seasons of stress, uncertainty, grief, relationship challenges, and personal transitions that can feel overwhelming. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, communication difficulties, career stress, loss, or significant life changes, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered. My counseling approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy. I believe every individual possesses strengths and resilience, and my role is to help you identify those strengths while developing practical tools to overcome obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates spiritual beliefs and values into the therapeutic process. I recognize that for many people, faith can be an important source of strength, healing, and hope during difficult times. In addition to providing individual and couples counseling, I offer support through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), clinical supervision for counseling professionals, and wellness-focused consultation services. My goal is to help clients move beyond simply surviving and toward thriving in their personal, relational, professional, and spiritual lives. Seeking support is a courageous step, and you do not have to walk through life's challenges alone. I would be honored to partner with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and overall well-being.

Through a warm, collaborative, and integrative approach, I help clients build emotional awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and break unhelpful patterns.

Although I work with clients of all ages, I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I am passionate about helping clients cope with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, severe and persistent mental illness, family issues, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who believes that feeling safe, understood, and genuinely supported is the foundation for meaningful change. With over 15 years of experience across schools, hospitals, crisis settings, and community-based care, I’ve had the privilege of working with people at many different stages of life—from teens navigating overwhelming emotions to adults facing complex life challenges. My background as both a counselor and school social worker has given me a deep understanding of how early experiences, family dynamics, and life transitions shape who we are. I’ve supported students and families through anxiety, emotional struggles, and difficult situations, and I carry that same patience, empathy, and advocacy into my work with all clients. I’ve also worked in high-intensity environments—including crisis settings, alongside law enforcement, in hospitals, and with veterans, survivors of trauma and domestic violence, and individuals in eating disorder treatment. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. In our work together, I focus on creating a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. I balance practical tools and coping strategies with deeper exploration, helping you not only manage what you’re going through, but also understand it. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you—whether you’re looking for structure, insight, or simply a place to feel heard. Reaching out for therapy can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.

My name is Jennifer Bailey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Drama Therapist. I help clients identify and pursue the goals that lead to a life filled with meaning, pride, and contentment. Now, you may be wondering: “What exactly is a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)?” Simply put, it means I integrate elements of theater and creative expression into the therapeutic process. With me, you have options. You might choose a traditional talk-therapy session to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. Or, if words don’t feel like enough, you might try something more experiential—writing, movement, role-play, or even reimagining and practicing conversations that keep replaying in your mind. Talk therapy is a powerful tool for growth, but sometimes it takes more than words to truly process what’s happening inside. That’s where creativity can open new doors. Whether through conversation, movement, sound, or artistic expression, I provide a space where you can choose what feels most healing and helpful. I would be honored to support you—whether that’s working toward personal goals, processing difficult emotions, or making positive and lasting changes in your life.

Hi, I’m Blair, a licensed therapist in North and South Carolina and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I work with adults who are neurodivergent and navigating mood-related challenges such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel like they’re constantly playing catch-up internally. They may struggle with intense emotions, overthinking, difficulty following through, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, especially during times of stress or transition. My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies including DBT, CBT, and EMDR. I focus on helping you understand how your brain and nervous system are operating while also giving you practical tools you can actually use in your daily life. I also integrate specialized training in sexual health and intimacy, supporting clients in navigating connection, communication, and desire in a way that feels safe and informed. The clients I work best with are ready for more than just insight. They want meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on improving emotional regulation, reducing reactivity, strengthening relationships, and creating a life that feels more manageable, steady, and aligned with who you are.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
