Clinical Social Work / Therapist, MA, LCSW, LCAS
Do you ever lay awake at night thinking about things you want to change, thinking about how you want to be happier, thinking that you wish someone understood what you were going through? I am here to help guide you through the process to begin working towards your desired change. I sincerely believe in treating the whole person and understand that many of us have experienced previous trauma, negative experiences, and excessive worries that effect our ability to be what and who we want to be in many different areas of our lives.
As a clinician my purpose is to provide a safe, secure and trusting space for the people I treat to aid in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction/recovery, self-esteem issues, childhood/adolescent defiance, family conflict, past and present traumas.
My goal is not to push people towards change but to collaborate with them and strengthen motivation to change in a therapeutic and helping setting. Achieving change is hard and you have already taken the first step. I look forward to working with you, your child or loved one and you should be proud of the steps you have begun to take towards change!

Amy K Anderson
Counselor, LPC, LCMHC
There are times we all struggle with sadness, anxiety and self-doubt, when the smallest task seems so overwhelming that you can't figure out where to start. Times when the decisions we have to make are so paralyzing that we stay right where we are, and times when what we have faced in our past brings so many painful memories. Times of grief and loss and big life decisions that make us so uncertain what to do next. We all experience these. You are not alone. During these times it can help to have someone to talk to. Whatever you are experiencing, I am here to help you on this journey.

Kim Bogert
Expert Grief and Meditation Coach
How you tend to, and THAT you tend to your grief is everything.
Grief sucks. No need to sugar coat it. The hurt. The ache. The sleeplessness. The fatigue. The brain fog. The loneliness. The sadness. The anger. The despair. The numbness. The pain. (And so on.) Not to mention, the unmet expectations. While grief looks different for everyone, it's never easy. And it doesn't go away by just ignoring it or wishing for better feelings. We have to feel it to heal it. And ... you are not alone.
I am a life coach, grief recovery specialist, mindfulness and meditation teacher, and a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) practitioner. I work with individuals and small groups using mindfulness and meditation techniques to cope with grief, reduce stress, and cultivate personal growth. With a compassionate and nurturing presence, I offer grief and meditation coaching as a way for people to heal, to create space in their hearts so that they can start feeling the good things in life again.
Nurture your grief from the inside out.

Colleen Marchese
Clinical Social Work / Therapist, MSW, LCSW
It can seem like a scary decision to talk to, essentially, a stranger about your life. However, the therapeutic process is something I find great joy in, being able to help people through their life stressors. I am a practitioner who truly believes in a person’s ability to work through complications that arise throughout life’s different phases, overwhelming emotions, negative self-image, and relationships to regain control of their lives when given the right tools and skills. I work towards helping clients learn, practice, and apply those tools and skills in order to move towards a happier and healthier future. I love having the trust and ability to step into a client’s life in order to work together to reach their goals and improve their lives through therapy.
I have experience working with adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations throughout every level of mental health and I use this experience to help guide and empower my clients to be their best advocate. I would love the opportunity to work with you and look forward to meeting!

Jason M. Walker
Counselor, M.Ed, LCMHCA
As individuals with lives in constant flux, it can seem strange and feel scary to ask for assistance from others. Oftentimes we resist that urge despite all signs pointing towards it. Despite that fear, when we take the step and seek assistance in life, we open ourselves up to wonderful possibilities and opportunities for growth and change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I find personal growth can flow both ways during therapy. It is a therapeutic alliance that allows us as mental health clinicians and clients to learn more about others and our respective worlds that empowers us to push past barriers we once thought impossible to breach.
I graduated from University of Missouri - St. Louis with my Masters of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018. During my educational and work experience, I have worked with residential youth, intensive in home services for families, and individuals focusing on anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia and ADHD. I have widely utilized motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Informed approaches in session. I have enjoyed working with youth, teenagers, adults, couples and families by forming therapeutic alliances with my individual and family clients to guide them through life’s challenges. I am a firm believer that change comes from within. As a Counselor, I am merely a guide to assist and celebrate those changes with the clients I work with.

Taking the first step towards seeking help can be daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you've been grappling with your mental health for years or facing recent challenges, I'm here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.
With a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are in life, tailoring my interventions to your unique needs and circumstances. I believe in the power of evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to facilitate self-awareness and foster healing from the inside out.
In my practice, I have a special passion for working with individuals facing perinatal and/or neurodivergent challenges. Drawing from my personal experiences as a mother with ADHD, I understand the unique complexities of these journeys. However, I am not limited to this population, and I am here to support anyone seeking guidance and understanding. In a world that often fails to accommodate diverse identities and experiences, I provide validation and help clients build resilience in navigating societal norms and expectations.
As an Associate Clinical Licensed Social Worker, I am deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing space for reflection and processing. Your journey is unique, and I am honored to accompany you as you explore the possibilities for growth and transformation.

McKayla Demulling
Clinical Social Work / Therapist, MSW, LCSWA
Counseling should be a safe and judgment-free place for individuals to voice their concerns. In a world where we are constantly judged, I feel that counseling provides a unique place to allow for personal understanding and growth while reflecting on what drives our concerns, emotions, and behaviors. The counseling journey should be a joint partnership to help the client realize their own potential for growth. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions that are centered around each individual.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults from all walks of life. I have had the privilege and experience of working with individuals, couples, families, Service Members, the LGBTQ+ community, battered mothers, and those affiliated with the adoption and foster community, ranging from foster and adopted parents and children, as well as birth parents.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate, LCSWA. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Work from Grand Canyon University and my Master’s in Social Work from Louisiana State University.

There are times when we need someone to listen, but feel as though we do not want to burden them with our problems. You are not alone and you do not have to suffer in silence. My goal is to help you see that you can feel better, and to empower you to make the changes you need for the life you want. As a therapist, I prioritize relationships, offer therapeutic connection, and facilitate intrapersonal and relational growth. I work with individuals to explore identity, military life challenges, sports challenges and the difficulties that may come along with attempting to know one’s self deeply and live authentically, such as anxiety, depression, and family conflict. I particularly enjoy and specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, families and athletes.
Please feel free to reach out via phone or email. I am eager to help you navigate through your past, set new goals and reach your highest potential.

Life can be unpredictable. Sometimes things don't go as planned and sometimes it feels like our brain is fighting against us. However, I'm so glad that you're here in taking the first step of getting counseling services. It's okay to feel like you just need to be heard and have someone to talk things through with, someone to celebrate the little wins in life with, and someone who will hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed. I'm here to help.
I have experience counseling individuals of all ages diagnosed with substance use disorders and mental health conditions. As an Associate Clinical Licensed Social Worker (LCSWA), I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and with adolescents and adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD, and autism. I utilize different modalities based on the need of the client, but I primarily use trauma-informed approaches, CBT, and DBT. I am looking forward to meeting with clients who may have difficulty understanding and expressing their emotions, those who tend to prioritize others' needs over their own ("people-pleasing"), and those who are on a journey to discover their authentic selves.
I'm glad that you've taken the first step towards seeking help, and I'm here to support you and act as a guide through whatever you are going through. Let's embark on this journey together and learn how to navigate through life's stressors in a way that works for you.

Erinnae Cline
Counselor, M.Ed, LPC, ADC, NCC
I would be so pleased to work with you! I haven't chosen a specialty because I love working with a broad range of difficulties, so whether or not you've been able to identify exactly what the issue is, I would love to support you as you work toward finding and being the best version of yourself.
I've worked extensively with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and anger-related difficulties; and, I particularly enjoy opportunities to work with LGBTQ+ issues, grief, and religious trauma. I'm happy to engage with ideas and thoughts that come from social media as a starting point and I absolutely operate from a perspective that recognizes that you are the expert on you, so your thoughts and feelings are absolutely valid to the treatment experience. You will inevitably hear me mention attachment styles, emotional boundaries, or "The Body Keeps the Score" if there is a history of trauma because I feel like these are foundational to many issues that we struggle with in our current environments. We're all overwhelmed with demands, obligations, unmet expectations, disappointments, and systemic issues that leave us feeling trapped and powerless. I would love the opportunity to explore your situation and partner with you to find a treatment approach that resonates with you to guide you toward a more satisfying existence.
Because I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of South Carolina, I currently see only South Carolina clients via telehealth and I offer afternoon walk-and-talk sessions at the Riverwalk in Rock Hill (other locations upon request). I am also a certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over four years of addiction treatment experience if you find that this is a part of the challenges to be discussed.
I am excited to help you take your next steps toward healing.

Clinical Social Work / Therapist, LCSWA
We are living in a fast-paced and ever changing world. Change happens to all of us, whether gradually or all at once. Regardless, we find ourselves dealing with changes the best way we know how. Sometimes it works, but we then inevitably find ourselves back to where we started. Or worse, the changes and obstacles become too much and we can't find where we were or are now. Wherever you are in life, I'm here to meet you where you are.
I've worked within mental health for many years in community mental health and non-profit settings. I began working in psycho-social rehabilitation and on towards ACTT programs specializing in severe and persistent mental illness and substance use. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) I specialize in depression/anxiety, adults with ADHD, LGBTQIA+ care and issues, Bipolar disorder, Psychosis related disorders, Chronic issues, stress, and life transitions. I use several therapeutic modalities based on needs including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Strengths Based interventions, Solutions-focused interventions, and existential based modalities. With this, I'm here to work alongside you in whatever capacity is needed. Whether you need someone to talk to, offer education and skills, a guiding hand in the dark, or just someone to be the cheerleader you need on your team, I'll be there.

Counselor, LPC, LCMHC
I believe that people are doing the best they can to manage life with the resources and knowledge that they have. When life gets difficult, it’s common to feel isolated in our feelings or lean on unhealthy coping strategies to try and get by. I am here to help ease that struggle by offering a safe and accepting space to process your emotions and explore new, more effective ways of navigating life. I make sure to meet clients where they are at in their mental health journey, and collaboratively work on identifying and meeting their goals no matter what those may look like.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have experience with a variety of other treatment styles, and enjoy helping teens and adults work through depression, anxiety, PTSD, navigating life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I have extensive experience working in hospital, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings as well, and am always making sure to help others from trauma focused and gender/sexuality affirming lenses. I look forward to helping you on your journey.
