I have twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience. I work with individuals, couples and families. My primary areas of focus s include adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, family and interpersonal dilemmas, professional exploration, and life coaching. I am very experienced in working with people who have eating-related issues, I.e. binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity and pre-operative and post-operative bariatric surgery (WLS- Weight Loss Surgery) procedures. The majority of my clients continue to work with me for “health maintence” purposes. In other words, primary issues are ameliorated and focus transitions to maintaining healthy coping skills. I have been in private practice since 2002. I have also been the lead psychological editor for column in a national surgical journal, taught several collegiate courses as part of adjunct faculty, and maintained affiliations and memberships with numerous professional organizations. My practice focuses on working through the issues at hand and to maintain healthy coping skills for self-awareness and personal growth in various contexts. I am straightforward and personable while keeping in mind boundaries. I will do my best to work with a client, however, it is ultimately up to the client to do the real work.

20 years offering treatment
Hi there! I am Dr. Nancy Simpson, licensed clinical psychologist in South Carolina. Currently retired from a 30- year, rewarding teaching career at our local community college, I yearn to give back. Early in my career I was a practicing psychologist and worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings, performed neuropsychological assessments, and diagnosed & assessed mental illness. But, I found my bliss in academic psychology. Now it's time to return to my roots to help others. I am well trained, compassionate, and bring mutual respect and caring to therapy. When not teaching or mentoring, you can find me on my hobby farm, milking my goats, making cheese, tending my honey bees, spinning, weaving, working as a historic craft interpreter and generally enjoying life. If you think we'd be a fit on your journey of exploration and/or healing, I'd be delighted to work with you.

25 years offering treatment
Hi! I am glad you are here! My name is Lynne and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. My experience has included working with a vast array of people challenged by life situations and experiencing anxiety, depression, problems with substance abuse, trauma, grief and loss just to name a few. It is my belief that if suffering and uncertainty are inherent in our humanness, so too is joy, growth and the ability to heal through connectedness. People often seek therapy having exhausted their own internal resources trying to feel better. They may also believe they have exhausted their loved ones with their own self-doubt, sadness or shame. Or one may be experiencing a more vague yet persistent sense of being overwhelmed or numb and disconnected. If anxiety, sadness, irritability, anger or grief is impacting your quality of life; or, if you have been managing uncomfortable emotions with substances and questioning your relationship with alcohol or drugs, I’d like to help. I offer my clients the opportunity to explore who they are, who they want to be, and importantly, a partnership in forging the path toward healing and change.
