Congratulations on taking the first step to feeling better!! My name is Kyra and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina. The bulk of my training is trauma (childhood to recent, domestic violence, TBI, etc.), stress and anxiety, and crisis intervention. I also have experience with parenting issues, depression, addiction, relationships, and low self-esteem. I received my Masters Degree in Counseling from Webster University in 2010 and my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of South Carolina Columbia campus in 2004. My internships were spent working with survivors of sexual abuse at a local rape crisis center and working with individuals in pre-trial intervention (PTI) and other diversion programs offered through a local Judicial Circuit's Solicitor's Office. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults up to 90 years old. I have experience providing educational trainings, skills development classes, group counseling, individual counseling, family counseling, and support group counseling. I believe that everyone is their own, unique individual with their own, unique challenges so I pull material from various evidence based best practice therapy models and tailor each session to each individual's unique needs. I believe everyone deserves respect, sensitivity, and time to process and grow. I am solution focused, honest, straightforward, and have been called a cynical optimist. I will be your biggest supporter and your #1 fan. I will cheer you on each step of the way. Together we can confront any challenges head on, working toward change and improvement. My ultimate goal is to help you build a solid foundation promoting stability, self-compassion, and purpose through patience, courage, and perseverance. That is...............if you're ready.

I look to help you identify your strengths and utilize them so that you can achieve your desired outcomes. My approach is to utilize multidimensional psychodynamic tools based upon your life course and inherent difficulties. In conjunction with the client, goals will be developed and guidance will be provided in order to achieve the optimal short term gains and long term objectives. Change is achieved through solution focused and task based theories to help achieve change. These tools can be particularly helpful for those coping with negative thought patterns, depression, anxiety, developmental differences, executive functioning difficulties and challenges associated with trauma and transitions. My practice has entailed work with a wide variety of individuals and focused upon the needs of each person. I have also engaged in practice with individuals with autism, those impacted by a wide range of environmental challenges as well as those having difficulty making life transitions. I have also participated in family based crisis management, helped families develop a range of techniques to improve relationships with their significant others and acted as a conduit between family members coping with trauma. I live with my wife, daughters and two dogs and have a passion for helping others. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you have your aspirations align with your actions!

There are times when our past can creep up into our present and take charge. Doing the best we can with the skills we have, we attempt to triumph over pain, heartache, trauma, fears, etc. However, there are times when we feel broken no matter how hard we try to put the pieces back together. Although we cannot change the past, we can put the pieces back together and still be beautiful; different yet beautiful. I like to think of therapy like the art of kintsugi, putting our broken pieces back together with a gold bond. I hope to offer you a space to process thoughts and to add to your current toolbox of coping skills. Practicing since 2010, I am trained in various evidenced based practices. I believe that treatment needs to be individualized in order to focus on the whole of the person (the individual and the systems (i.e., family, peers, etc.) that surround that person). There is a passion to provide a service to those who are in need and desire to be a willing participant in their wellbeing. I hope to be a service where you feel that you can heal, grow and learn.

At times life experiences are overwhelming, compromising, and/or traumatizing. No life is without challenges or cookie cut.

I have over ten years of experience engaging with families, children, adolescents, and adults in behavioral/mental health, hospice, bereavement, foster care, adoption, disability, and educational settings. It is my belief that every individual has unique strengths and resiliency. By utilizing a holistic and diverse approach, together, we can navigate the process of adjustment, exploring, and learning techniques that are specific to your needs in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you achieve emotional and mental wellness and increased awareness of your needs and values for an improved daily functioning and meaningful life.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Cottageville?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Cottageville therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Cottageville counselor?
Before seeing your therapist near you, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Cottageville therapists near you may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn how to best help and support you.
Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Cottageville licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Cottageville counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.
Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Cottageville, South Carolina can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
