Hi! I'm Sylvia a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina. I have actively been practicing therapy for about 13 years however, I have been in the behavioral health field for almost 20 years. I like to believe helping others become their best self is my calling!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will start with brief introductions. I will gain a better understanding of what your expectations are as a client and we will develop goals that you would like to work on. We will also identify what therapeutic modalities may work best for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having been a therapist for over 13 years and being in the behavioral health field for almost 20, I have developed a toolkit of different therapeutic modalities to work with many different diagnoses. I have compassion, empathy, and a genuine interest in others as well as an ability to develop strong, trusting, and non-judgmental relationships with clients. I possess good listening and communication skills and am flexible and adaptable with the use of treatments.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with clients of all ages, including young children with behavioral disturbances or academic challenges, to young adults just beginning on their career journeys as well as older adults who make be in or approaching retirement age. My clients are always eager to improve but at times get stuck and don't have the tools necessary to make the changes they desire.
