About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of South Carolina and Oregon. I am also a certified Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). My Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree is in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina (Columbia) and my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree is in Business Education from Winthrop University (Rock Hill).

I have over 10 years experience in the mental/behavioral health field and 20 years experience as an educator. I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns and from various backgrounds. I have found that I am most effective with those experiencing depression, anxiety, career challenges, and those who are generally seeking changes in their life to move towards a better future for themselves.

I strive to provide my clients with a welcoming, confidential, safe space where they can speak freely about their concerns and thoughts. I believe in treating everyone with respect and the "Golden Rule" is essential to me - treat others the way you want to be treated. My approach to counseling is client-centered and solution-focused with a cognitive-behavioral foundation. I try to help identify patterns of thought that may be keeping you from your goals and we will work together to develop a plan to address those thoughts. Ideally, I would like for my clients to learn how to identify these patterns of thought for themselves and be able to independently adjust to their circumstances as needed.

Melvin offers constructive feedback and always leaves me with something to work on and think about. He challenges me intellectually and offers insight I haven’t thought of. All of which I was looking for in a therapist.

I’ve always been hesitant on trying therapy but Marvin has made me look forward to our sessions and each session have been beyond helpful in understanding myself. Couldn’t be more grateful for getting so lucky.

Melvin is great. Doesn’t allow me to tunnel vision myself, he challenges my current thoughts and offers a broader view on things.
It has caused me to really take a step back and think deeply on what I am going through.

My Therapist gives honest straight forward feedback, which is greatly appreciated and needed. He also is very attentive and that’s a plus. I highly recommend.
