Dr. Suzanne Cormier
Hello! My name is Dr. Suzanne Cormier and I have been a helping professional for over 25 years. I have a PhD and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina. As a committed helping professional I have a wide range of work experiences that have helped me understand the life challenges people face and the emotional discomfort they may feel. My counseling approach is interactive and supportive. Practicing primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral orientation I believe that one size does not fit all. I consider my client's needs and comfort level and then utilize an integrative counseling approach. My goal is to help my clients create positive change and well-being. Positive change is achieved through a respectful partnership between client and counselor. In my practice we build on clients' strengths and resilience, and find solutions to the challenges they face. PLEASE note that my sessions are either via video or phone. I do not use texting as a primary platform. My work has included individual counseling, life coaching, university teaching and student counseling/advising. I have an extensive background in human development, specifically positive self-development, resilience building and life transition adjustment. My most recent work has been with clients experiencing anxiety and stress with personal and/or social concerns. I have particular interest in working with people who are new to the counseling experience. As a counselor with a background in developmental and motivational psychology, I understand that life brings many uncertainties. However, I believe that people reach their goals as long as they have the support and guidance they need to keep moving forward. Importantly, finding time to laugh and smile is a pathway to positive well-being. My personal life is a busy one. I have two adult children, one in the workforce and one who transitioning to a new career. My husband is a tech guru, and I am the human relations enthusiast. My favorite pastimes include volunteering at our local art museum, reading any type of mystery and laughing a funny You Tube videos. Thanks for reading all this! I look forward to working with you. PLEASE note: My sessions are conducted on weekdays at different times. Together we can determine a convenient time and day for our initial session. Thanks! Dr. Cormier

Sarah Mathis
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!

Kevin Phillips
Hi, my name is Kevin Phillips. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina in 2013 because I wanted to help people improve their mental health and achieve happiness. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical, emotional and sexual trauma and abuse. I am also an accomplished crime victim counselor and have worked with sheriff and police departments in criminal domestic violence situations. I have also worked with victim advocates in a team approach with victims of other types of crimes such as armed robbery, sexual assault and sex trafficking. I have worked extensively with the legal systems in helping teenagers and adults who are facing legal problems because of their mental health challenges and the resulting behaviors. I have several thousand hours of experience assisting those with addiction problems. For those wanting counseling based on a Biblical world view, I am accomplished at providing biblically based mental health counseling. I am also effective at counseling pastors and other spiritual workers who face burnout and/or have failed in their ministries. I feel very comfortable helping those with end of life issues, bipolar issues and challenges, anger management challenges, and family conflict problems. I am confident that I can help those who are facing separation and/or divorce situations. I am adept at helping people with relaxation techniques and with peace and harmony restoration. I can assist you if you need help with exploring and creating goals and hopefulness in your life. I can help in communication improvement, in positive relationship development and in managing stress. I can help you achieve motivation and improve your impulse control issues. I feel very confident that I can help you improve your self-esteem and your feelings of worth and value. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, humanistic/existential/Rogerian treatment orientations, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy. I like to spend more time on discovering solutions and what we can do together as a team to actually improve your life rather than spending too much time on finding out what the problem is. Understanding the source or sources of our problems is beneficial and indeed informs our treatment plan but the real work is in the "what are we going to do about it?" I offer encouragement, an upbeat positive personality and a can-do spirit who will come along side of you to help you get better. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
