Find a Therapist near Summerville, SC

Admitting that you are struggling takes courage, and reaching out is often the hardest step. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, drinking more than you want to, grieving, or just feeling stuck, no concern is too big or too small to bring into therapy. I have worked as a mental health therapist for six years, and I hold a master's degree in clinical psychology from Columbia University, along with a certification as an alcohol and drug counselor. I see preteens, teens, adults, and older adults for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, substance use, grief, relationship concerns, and career stress. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and work toward the goals that matter to you. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, tailored to what fits you. You can expect a nonjudgmental, safe space where you can be honest without worrying about how it sounds. If you are ready for a change, or just not sure where to start, let's figure it out together.

Is anxiety running the show, or do the same conflicts keep coming up in your relationships? Stress has a way of spilling into every part of life, and you do not have to keep pushing through it on your own. I work with teens and adults who want to understand themselves better, manage big emotions, and communicate in ways that actually land. Many of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, or concerns about intimacy and sexual health. I keep my approach client-centered and strength-based. That means I start with what is already working for you and build from there. In session, you can expect an honest, nonjudgmental space where we name your goals together and practice real tools for emotional regulation and connection. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy, mindfulness, and narrative work, depending on what fits. If you are ready to feel more like yourself or more connected to the people you love, I would be glad to help you take that first step.

You may look like you have it together on the outside, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, behind, and exhausted from trying to keep up. If you have ADHD, grew up feeling misunderstood, or learned early on to push through and perform, it can feel like you’re constantly holding things together while quietly burning out. Hi, I'm Stacy. I work with adults throughout South Carolina and North Carolina impacted by ADHD and childhood trauma, including the long-term effects of growing up feeling misunderstood, unseen, or responsible for managing too much too early. These experiences often show up later as overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and deep self-criticism — not because something is wrong with you, but because your nervous system adapted to survive. In therapy, we focus on understanding you without the mask of over-functioning. Together, we gently connect past experiences to present-day patterns, reduce shame-based self-criticism, and help you build self-trust so you can make choices based on what you actually want — not what you feel you should do. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. You can schedule your free 15-minute consult here: https:StacyAlbarranCounseling.as.me

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a collaborative partnership where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, while also creating space for honest conversations and meaningful self-reflection. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia, and I specialize in helping individuals understand their attachment styles and relationship patterns, particularly how past experiences in romantic relationships, family dynamics, and learned beliefs influence the way they connect with themselves and others. Whether you're navigating relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or recurring patterns in dating and relationships, we'll work together to explore what may be contributing to these challenges. My goal is to help you move beyond simply recognizing your patterns to understanding where they come from and developing healthier ways of responding. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional awareness, stronger boundaries, improved communication, and more secure, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

As an art therapist, I observe unique patterns and themes in the art process with each of my clients to help fuel self-reflection and increase self-awareness. It is also my belief (and backed by research) that the therapeutic relationship is the top priority. The therapy room and artwork can act as a container to hold space for fear, hopes, and desires. In this way, cultivating reciprocal trust, collaboration, and openness are pivotal to creating a space to safely practice tools and express emotions freely. I use the process of art with clients and a mind-body connection to cultivate positive change and growth. Art is a dynamic and tangible tool that allows for self-expression, freedom to make mistakes, and acts as an extension of the self. With this newfound awareness and openness, clients begin to shift their narrative to a story of resiliency, self-compassion, and confidence to be the best version of themselves. Life can leave us with wounded inner parts of ourselves that need healing and integration. Everyone has been impacted by past events, experiences, and emotions which shaped the person they have become. I believe in art, authenticity, acceptance, attachment, creativity, connection, community, and neuroscience. If you are interested in a space to process, be creative, make mistakes, problem-solve, and learn more about yourself, book a consultation to see if we are the right fit.

I am experienced at treating a range of populations, and have worked on college campuses, in support groups, and in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, transitions, relationship concerns, health and wellness, stress, and substance abuse.

My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and genuine connection. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged—one where you can speak openly about what’s weighing on you and feel supported as you make sense of your experiences. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you recognize your strengths, gain clarity, and build tools that feel authentic and sustainable for you. Our work together is not about being told what to do, but about exploring patterns, emotions, and challenges at your own pace, with curiosity and compassion. I work with children, teens, and parents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions, and I provide services in both English and Spanish to ensure care feels accessible and culturally responsive. You can expect me to be engaged, supportive, and present—balancing professional guidance with a down-to-earth, human approach. If you’re looking for a therapist who will truly listen, collaborate with you, and support you in moving toward a more grounded and hopeful place, I would be honored to be part of your journey.
