As cliché as it sounds, I can honestly say that working with Lindsay changed my life. Who am I…read morekidding? With the tools and insight she provided over our 18 months working together, she's continuing to change my life. I sought out counseling services when life felt unbearably bleak, difficult, and dark. I came in, grasping for control and hoping for a quick fix, which in hindsight is utterly laughable. I think if I knew how much baggage I needed to unpack and how much "inside" work it would take, I never would have begun the process, but with Lindsay's gentle and steadfast guidance, I was slowly but surely able to pull myself out of the weeds. With her help (and a lot of healthy work), I've found my voice and have begun to thrive in a visceral, sustainable and powerful manner- what a gift she has given me! Lindsay is thorough, receptive, non-judgmental, open to talking about therapy within therapy (so meta, I know), insightful, funny, wise, kind, gentle yet straightforward, and very easy to talk to. She questioned and helped me dig when I needed to be pushed and gave me space when she recognized that I needed to come to my own conclusions. The way she approaches counseling is thoughtful and intentional, but never calculated, which is invaluable. Overall, all I can say is this: Lindsay led me through a very challenging period of my life and for that I will forever be grateful. I've been through my fair share of counseling in the past with poor results- I'm so thankful for this positive experience to fall back on as needed. If you're feeling lost, trapped, stuck, like you're drowning...do yourself (and your loved ones!) a solid: go see Lindsay, commit to doing the work, and stick with it, even when it get's hard. People are messy, life is hard, but she's one of the great ones out there.

As a therapist, he is all these qualities and more as he truly has a genuine connection, dedication and drive to support his clients in their healing journey. Whoever Ryan has as clients are truly lucky; between his knowledge base, experience and overall supportive presence, he is a therapist I highly highly recommend.

We worked with JT (Jonathan Thrall) for a few months and ultimately decided to find another…read moretherapist at a different practice. JT is incredibly kind and well-intentioned, but the therapy felt one-dimensional. Sessions largely focused on validating feelings without providing structure, tools, challenge, or actionable guidance - all of which I repeatedly asked for. Given that this therapy was priced at the higher end of what we've seen, we expected a much deeper level of engagement and clinical depth. I consistently expressed that I did not feel understood, and that concern never felt meaningfully explored. The turning point came when JT continued asking the same questions and implied that I wasn't going deep enough. When I asked him to take a different approach and ask more thoughtful probing questions, he responded by asking me what I thought he should ask instead. That felt backwards. If he is the trained professional, I don't believe it should be my responsibility to determine how we get deeper in session. He also seemed dismissive of modalities like the Gottman Method and Nonviolent Communication, as well as the self-work I was doing independently. Despite repeatedly asking for homework or guidance between sessions, none was provided. We were looking for stronger direction and more skill-based, structured work, which is why we chose to move on. We're very happy with our new therapist, who also practices EFT but brings a broader, more versatile approach rather than relying on a singular method.

Words cannot adequately convey how much working with Zina has changed my life for the better. She…read moreis not your typical therapist; she is a healer. I am a survivor or unspeakable conditions and abuse during childhood and beyond. I ran away from home as a teenager and spent years of my life addicted to drugs and alcohol trying to numb the pain. Needless to say, my employment and personal relationships have always suffered tremendously. I now understand that there is enduring relief from this pain and suffering and it is closer than you may think. If you suffer from trauma or uncontrollable anxiety/depression this should be your next call.

After two visits with Zina, I knew my life was on the path to deep healing. The modalities we used, up-rooted the deepest darkest shame and pain I held onto for 40 years.

My wife, a generally straight woman fell in love with me as a person but needed some help understanding and incorporating sex into our relationship. Something she has done very well and is now proudly and functionally bisexual. To maintain a clear line of communication, seeing marriage/sex counselor has been paramount to our marriage success. The entire staff at this place has been professional, supportive and easy to work with. Scheduling is easy and the office environment is very relaxing. I highly recommend these professionals. They have been very open and nonjudgmental about our same sex marriage. We both feel very comfortable there.

My family had a really positive first impression of Mary Wilkie--she was helpful during a very…read moredifficult day, and we were hopeful about working with her. Unfortunately, our experience since then has been extremely disappointing. She saw my son individually for two sessions and met with us as parents once before we had a family session after another issue arose. During that family session, she did not address the situation at hand, focused on irrelevant topics, and was dismissive when we tried to redirect the conversation--even after inviting us to 'correct her if she was wrong.' The way she spoke to us came across as rude and disrespectful, which only made our family's communication worse instead of better. To make matters worse, the session lasted only half the scheduled time, yet I expect we'll be charged the full amount. I left feeling angry, offended, and let down. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend her services, and I sincerely hope no other family goes through what we did.

I started my journey with Steven because I needed help with my depression. I am a person with…read moreabilities and couldn't help myself alone. I found Steven on the internet, called him and he took the time to ask questions to guide him towards the understanding I needed to validate my feelings. We started remote healing on a low level and gradually over the next 3 months I became myself again. With Steven's help, I was able to get out of bed and start living and most importantly, help others which is what brings me the most happiness. Steven has a gentle quality that makes it easier for a person in need to talk with. Im continuing my journey with Steven now with grief healing as I have just lost my long time best friend to cancer. I believe in what Steven has accomplished to this point in his life. This review is my proof. Thank you, Steven, from my heart to yours. Linda, Lexington, SC
