Therapy for Anxiety & Depression in Mount Pleasant & Summerville, SC
Support for overthinking, hopelessness, exhaustion, and constant mental overload.
Your mind rarely slows down — and when it does, it feels heavy.
You spend a lot of time in your head. Replaying conversations, worrying about what's next, or trying to predict every possible outcome so nothing goes wrong. Some days it's constant tension and restlessness. Other days it's exhaustion, low motivation, or the sense that even small tasks take too much effort. You tell yourself to just push through, be grateful, or get over it – but it doesn't stick.
It shows up in different ways. Trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, irritability, or feeling disconnected from people you care about. Maybe you cancel plans because everything feels overwhelming, or you stay busy so you don't have to feel the heaviness underneath. No matter how much you try to manage it on your own, the cycle keeps repeating.
Whatever you’re experiencing, you don’t have to be stuck feeling this way forever.
What we help with:
Constant overthinking, worry, or racing thoughts
Panic attacks or feeling on edge without a clear reason
Low motivation, fatigue, or difficulty getting through daily tasks
Irritability, emotional overwhelm, or sudden mood shifts
Feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or things you used to enjoy
HOW WE SUPPORT YOU
Pushing through, staying busy, or telling yourself to “just think positive” doesn’t actually help — it usually keeps the cycle going.
You try to control your thoughts, distract yourself, or power through the day, only to feel exhausted when it doesn't work… and then the frustration sets in. We're not here to give you more pressure or generic advice. We're here to help you understand what your mind and body are reacting to, and what it would look like to respond in a way that actually helps.
Our work focuses on what's underneath the symptoms – because anxiety and depression are rarely just about stress or mindset. They're connected to your nervous system, past experiences, expectations you carry, and the way you relate to yourself. We use a variety of methods to tailor, our approach to exactly what you need.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you step out of mental loops and take meaningful action even when your thoughts feel loud.
EMDR helps process experiences that keep your brain stuck in worry, fear, or shutdown.
Brainspotting helps your body release stored stress and emotional overwhelm when thinking your way out hasn’t worked.
Cognitive approaches help you recognize patterns in thinking without getting trapped inside them.
You won’t be expected to suddenly feel motivated, confident, or calm overnight. Instead, we’ll help you build practical tools to steady your emotions, reduce overwhelm, and make daily life feel more manageable. The goal isn’t to become a different person — it’s to feel more like yourself again.

If it’s affecting your sleep, relationships, work, motivation, or sense of well-being, it’s worth talking about. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek support because they’re tired of just managing and want things to feel steadier.
-
Not here. While we’ll absolutely explore what you’re experiencing, we also focus on practical tools and nervous system work. Therapy is about understanding what’s happening and actively working toward change—not just venting.
-
Medication can be helpful for some people, but it’s not the only option. Many clients see significant improvement through therapy alone. If medication might be beneficial, we can talk through that and help you make an informed decision.
-
It depends on what you’re dealing with and your goals. Some clients notice improvement within a few months, while others choose longer-term work. We’ll regularly check in about progress and adjust the plan to make sure therapy feels helpful—not overwhelming.
