Therapists near me in Charleston, SC

I am a warm and energetic therapist who believes in a holistic path to growth and balance for all. I believe healing involves the whole person-mind, body, and spirit-and I love helping people discover their strengths, reconnect with themselves, and find more balance in daily life. Whether that is in the therapist office, on the basketball court and/or other sports arenas for youth.

I have over 10 years of counseling experience providing individual therapy to adults ages 18 and up in an acute inpatient and outpatient setting. My approach is person-centered as I want to make this therapeutic experience as personable as possible. I also want to know you as an individual and understand the hobbies and activities that make up your day-to-day. This helps me know you more and create measurable and achievable goals.

Are you having difficulty finding your place in a world that feels increasingly alienating? Do you find yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood by the people around you? Do you have difficulty maintaining friendships or often feel hurt or used in romantic relationships? Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to have the life you thought you'd be living by now, but it seems like you can never quite get it right? Hi, I’m Nikki! I’m a neurodivergent-affirming therapist licensed in South Carolina and Florida. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—especially those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. My goal is to help you better understand yourself—how your mind works, how your emotions show up, and how your past experiences shape your present—so you can move through life in a way that actually fits you, not just what’s expected of you. The term "neurodivergent" is an annoying buzzword to some, but for me and many of my clients, it is both our superpower and one of our biggest challenges in life. In my therapeutic practice, I take into account how neurodiversity (and its intersectionality with race, culture, age, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other systems) impacts my clients lives and help them navigate accordingly.

If you are tired of being stuck maybe I can help My great passion is to help people. I do this by empowering my clients which leads to healing. I guide my clients, (children, adults, and families), with a calm safe environment, We work through the exploration of unhealthy coping skills which can cause negative patterns and strained relationships. I provide safety and support for clients to become stronger and happier. If you are ready for change then you are ready to take the next step. You will be amazed at how capable you are and how quickly change can occur.

If you’re here, you may be carrying experiences that still show up in your body, your thoughts, or your relationships — even if those events happened long ago. You might feel on edge, numb, easily triggered, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself or others. If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken. Your nervous system learned how to survive, and now it may need support learning how to feel safe again. My name is Amy, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina, also licensed in New Jersey and Connecticut. I’ve been practicing for 13 years and earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. While I’ve worked with a wide range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, and relationship challenges — I specialize in trauma working with PTSD and Complex PTSD. I work with clients who have experienced trauma in many forms, including childhood abuse or neglect, chronic stress, relational trauma, and significant life disruptions. My approach is trauma-informed, which means I move at your pace, prioritize your sense of safety, and respect your boundaries. You are always in control of what you share and when. Therapy is not about forcing yourself to “relive” anything — it’s about helping your nervous system feel safer and helping you reclaim your sense of choice and agency.
