Therapists in Blacksburg, SC

Do you often find yourself struggling to sort out your thoughts and feelings about events in your life? Have there been times in your life when you have wondered if you have made the right choices or if there are other possibilities for you? We have all experienced life changing experiences that have shaped us into the people we are today. Sometimes, a listening ear is all we need. Other times, more in-depth exploration of thoughts and feelings is needed before you can feel better. Whichever situation fits for you, I am here to help. I have been in practice for over 20 years and have had experience working with a diverse group of individuals, couples, and families. Together, we have explored trauma events and their impact on individuals and families, family relationships, couples’ issues, and depression, anxiety, infidelity, spiritual dilemmas, and other experiences that have an effect on day-to-day living. My experience extends to adults of all ages, including an older population and caregivers. I am open to working with couples who are experiencing issues, particularly in the area of communication. Working with individuals who are in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease are a new and interesting population for me. For me, counseling is a passion. Being a counselor is a calling, it encompasses me as a person and as a professional. It is my hope that you will contact me for counseling so that I can be your companion on your journey to a more peaceful and satisfying future.

I am a licensed social worker from South Carolina and enjoy working with teens and adults through various challenges. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns to include but not limited to: depression, anxiety, addiction, severe persistent mental illness, antenatal/postpartum and parenting concerns, trauma, and relationship stress. My early training included working with school aged children to address conditions such as ADHD, ODD, and ASD. I have not found it easy to work with young children through online methods of therapy, but I am open to working with parents to help them navigate such concerns with their children. My therapeutic style is one of warmth and positive regard. With a patient-centered approach, I see each client as the expert on his or her life and myself as a facilitator to help uncover skills and knowledge to solve life's concerns. I believe in the ability of everyone to grow and change. I look forward to working with you!

Hi there! I am Dr. Nancy Simpson, licensed clinical psychologist in South Carolina. Currently retired from a 30- year, rewarding teaching career at our local community college, I yearn to give back. Early in my career I was a practicing psychologist and worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings, performed neuropsychological assessments, and diagnosed & assessed mental illness. But, I found my bliss in academic psychology. Now it's time to return to my roots to help others. I am well trained, compassionate, and bring mutual respect and caring to therapy. When not teaching or mentoring, you can find me on my hobby farm, milking my goats, making cheese, tending my honey bees, spinning, weaving, working as a historic craft interpreter and generally enjoying life. If you think we'd be a fit on your journey of exploration and/or healing, I'd be delighted to work with you.

I work with clients to improve skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, history of adverse childhood experiences and attachment rupture.

I also work with clients to develop skills to cope with life changes such as loss of role, changes in health, and adjusting to developmental stages in adult life.
