Myra Brunson-Samuel, LISW-CP/S
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice Supervisor (LISW-CP/S) in the state of South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Winthrop University and have over 10 years’ experience as a social worker. I have worked in a host of settings that has afforded me firsthand knowledge to assist and meet my clients where they are.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. My specialties and areas of interest include depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, self-esteem, end-of-life issues, bereavement, and a host of other issues. I strongly believe in working collaboratively with clients, in a non-judgmental environment that fosters trust and freedom that is necessary for exploration and growth.
I have a profound respect for the courage it takes for someone to pursue therapy, and my goal is to help you unpack your story and discover new ways to create meaningful change, have better relationships, and generally feel better. I strive to create a space where people can safely express their vulnerability and build upon their strengths at their own pace.
Ashley Harp, LISW-CP/S
I am a licensed clinical social worker-practicing in the state of South Carolina. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina Upstate and a master’s degree in social work from the University of South Carolina-Columbia. I have worked with a variety of populations including children with chronic medical conditions, victims of crime and survivors of intimate partner violence, homeless families, disadvantaged youth and people with mental illness.
I believe it is my calling to help my clients get to a better place and live happier, more fulfilled lives. I hope to help you see your worth, understand your past and how you got to the present, and explore the possibilities for your future! I use a psychoanalytic approach which simply means that I will listen to your story from childhood up through adulthood to get an understanding of what has happened over your life that may be manifesting today and causing challenges for you.
The individuals and families I have worked with over my career have reintroduced me to myself as I share some of the same experiences they have. I particularly love working with young adult women, black men and survivors of intimate partner violence, I also specialize in helping those with relationship challenges.
I can help you process through what has happened to you or what you are currently feeling–at your pace. As a therapist that has a therapist, I understand that finding a good fit is a process. If you are ready to take the first step, please reach out to me and let’s see if we may work well together.
Elizabeth Woods, MHRD/LISW-CP
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner in Upstate, South Carolina. I have earned my Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Clemson University and a Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina, Columbia.
I have over ten years of experience working with individuals and families to meet their psychological needs and goals, especially from culturally diverse backgrounds. I want to assist you to understand and better manage life’s challenges, which often arise from adverse childhood experiences. Together, we can achieve this through supportive, healing processes that improve relationships with oneself and/or others.
It is truly an honor to accompany you through pathways of anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, as you journey towards emotional recovery and resiliency.
Chaniece Taylor, LCSW/LISW-CP
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan (LCSW) and South Carolina (LISW-CP) with several years of clinical experience. My passion for helping others led me to pursue my B.A. at the University of Michigan and my MSW from Wayne State University.
As a cognitive behavior therapist, I am committed to walking alongside you on your mental health journey. Through a personalized, and evidence-based approach, I work with my clients to overcome struggles with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress, and relationship challenges. I will meet you where you are, and work with you at your pace. Together we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to help you gain insight and make positive changes in your life.
My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to heal, grow, and thrive.
