I am a licensed independent social worker in South Carolina, with 9 years of counseling experience. My experience has included providing direct counseling support to individuals and families struggling with mental health needs. Throughout my experience I have worked with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and identities. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. Most of my work comes from helping people who have presenting concerns to include depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, psychotic spectrum disorders, and those with co-occurring substance use disorders. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings throughout my career thus far. I have a passion for helping others, and in my free time I enjoy volunteering with a local food pantry as well as with an organization that helps to serve individuals who are struggling with homelessness. My counseling style combines being caring, compassionate, and direct. I want to create an environment where you feel safe and validated. I also want to try to be that voice of reason to help you process through a difficult situation. I am most trained and fluent in providing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and create a collaborative relationship that empowers you to navigate through the challenges that life presents. If you feel that you are ready to commit to change and would like support in achieving that, you have come to the right place for help. This is a big journey and you have so bravely taken the first step to start your new path. I am looking forward to meeting you!

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!
