Dr. Tia Buchanan, LPC

About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Counselor, NCCA Licensed Clinical Christian Counselor, NCCA Licensed Sexual Therapist, EMDR Clinician in South Carolina with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD, and trauma related attachment based backgrounds. I also helped many people who have experienced physical emotional trauma and emotional abuse, family issues, and issues related to self love and empowering oneself to Get Up, Be Raised Up, and Grow.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, assertive, and straightforward. I believe in treating my clients with genuine positive regard, and acceptance even when my personal beliefs differ from their own individual life choices within a bio-psycho-social-spiritual context. I provide sensitivity, compassion, truth in love. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels, fitting into assumptions and stereotypes secular culture often attempts to assign people to, based on individual worldview, backgrounds, ethnicity. As a non-fit in the box person, my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, existential, humanistic, psycho-dynamic rational-emotive counseling within a multifaceted modality. I tailor each client's dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, and consider the uniqueness of each persons journey.

It takes courage to seek for a fulfilling and healthy adaptive life and to take the first steps towards a change. Change can be scary, and we process these goals for change together. Since you are curious about me, should you choose to feel ready to take the next step to Get Up, Be Raised Up, and Grow, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
