Reaching out to a counselor can be intimidating. I get it. We've all had times in life when we can't manage on our own. You might think, "how did I get here?" Whatever the situation, sometimes it feels overwhelming until you are able to talk about it. A counselor can help guide you through it. Counseling can help you feel healthier, happier, more empowered. Let's work together to help you find the peace and resiliency you've been wanting. Give us a call. I offer flexible hours, as well as offering phone and e-counseling. I've worked in this field since 1993 when I got a BSW w/a minor in gerontology. I received my masters in 2013; licensed in 2014. I worked with the IDD population and do ADHD testing which I love but most of my work has been in sub abuse & mental health. What I love the most is helping families. I hope that you'll reach out and allow us to get to know you. Please give a call today. I'm here to support you. I provide phone sessions and e-counseling as insurance allows. Take some time to take care of yourself today!

Rebecca Hegwood
Welcome, I’m glad you are here! My name is Becky and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of South Carolina. Since graduating from the University of South Carolina’s Rehabilitation Counseling program in 2015, I have worked in different outpatient community and private settings. My experience includes working with people with severe and persistent mental illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, life transition and adjustment concerns, and relationship challenges. I feel that everyone can benefit from counseling due to the simple fact that life, while often beautiful, can also present many challenges. Change in and of itself is not always easy, and it can be difficult to process our emotions and determine next steps at times. Whatever has brought you here, it is important to me that you feel heard without judgement and supported as you determine the course of your life. By reaching out, you’ve taken a courageous first step toward harnessing your own power to find or return to a place of fulfillment and inner peace in your life. My counseling style is nurturing, encouraging, and supportive, and my theoretical approach is integrative, meaning that I draw from many different theoretical perspectives and techniques based on your unique needs and goals; however there are a couple of modalities that I find especially helpful and widely applicable. First and foremost, I always take a person centered approach to counseling, and believe in meeting you where you are and helping you to identify and utilize your own strengths to promote self empowerment and growth. One of my favorite quotes is this one by Carl Jung: “Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” I am a firm believer that you already possess the qualities and tools that you need to navigate difficult situations, and we will work together to unlock your full potential! I have also found cognitive and dialectical behavioral approaches to often be effective in identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve your life well. Regardless of modality, I will always work collaboratively with you to establish and amend goals as needed in order to ensure that your therapeutic needs are being met. I look forward to meeting and beginning this journey with you!
Linda Milewski
Hello, I’m Linda Milewski, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and addiction specialist of 20 years. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Non Violent Communication (NVC), Trauma-informed Care and Awareness, Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing, as well as Mindfulness practices. Additionally, I hold international certifications in addiction, Employee Assistance Program, and Sober Coaching. After nearly two decades in inpatient psychiatric units, recovery facilities, mental health agencies, and wellness centers, I have helped stabilize many clients suffering from crisis, addiction, trauma, mood disorders and stress responses to various types of trauma. I developed a keen interest in various types of symptoms that create behaviors most would consider detrimental to their lives. As I travelled extensively internationally, delving deeper into the causes of suffering, I began to understand more deeply what (in the Buddhist context), “suffering” means and how we can heal from it. I began looking at the client as a “whole organism” by exploring how the body and its nervous system becomes severely compromised over time stemming from chronic stress. I have learned that when the body is relaxed through certain techniques, there is no room for stress or trauma to be held. Through regulating the body and nervous system, we create a safe and calm therapeutic space from which to find creative and authentic solutions to our daily challenges. I believe that once the body feels safe, we are supported to make deep and life-changing shifts. Non Violent Communication (NVC) is important to me. This modality supports us to speak authentically from the heart, tying in beautifully with mindfulness practices, trauma awareness and the regulation of emotions through somatic work. This method also supports us to set boundaries in ways that are compassionate for ourselves and others, enabling us to foster deeper, more authentic connection. My approach with each client is to provide support, accountability, and structure that honors and helps clients to step out into post traumatic growth. Through use of a range of techniques, tools and therapeutic approaches, I see transformations in my clients as they experience a strong feeling of overall safety and well being. I look forward to hearing from you and going on this journey of healing and self discovery with you!
