Dorothy Carskadon
Hi: I am Dorrie or Dorothy, whichever you prefer. I have been a counselor for 28 years - 24 years working with Veterans and their families and the last 4 years on Better Help. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of South Carolina. The foundation of therapy I use is positive psychology, the cognitive behavioral approach, emotional literacy, and intentional living to guide you through your issues. Positive psychology helps you to explore yourself through recognizing the positives in your life and accentuating them. The cognitive behavioral approach enables you to examine your decisions through understanding the connection between your thoughts, beliefs, physical reactions/responses, and behaviors. The emotional literacy approach examines how your emotions influence your decisions. I call myself a resource counselor because I will provide you with a wealth of materials, including handouts, worksheets, articles, videos, and internet links, to review and hopefully apply to your life. I am a Christian and believe that the Bible expresses wisdom and encourages love. God made each of us unique, and "God saw that it was good." I am an LGBTQ+ counselor. As an experienced therapist, I will tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. My goal is to equip you with the tools to make informed decisions and help you enjoy life to the fullest.

Crystal Haro
I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who may appear successful on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, burnout, relationship challenges, and self-doubt. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, and helpers who spend so much time meeting the needs of others that their own wellbeing often takes a back seat. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, gain deeper self-understanding, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual's unique experiences, values, and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, women's issues, or feeling stuck despite outward success, therapy can provide an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful change that supports long-term wellbeing.
