Dr. Barbara Brady
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, hold a post-masters certification in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling, completed Basic Family Mediation certification training, and am a lifelong learner. I continue to take courses, attend workshops and other training to ensure my skills are up-to-date and I am always well-prepared to support my clients. With over 25 years of counseling experience, my areas of expertise include working with adolescents, families, young adults and couples in a counseling relationship in the areas of career planning, improving relationships, reducing stress and anxiety, dealing with grief and loss, gender identity issues, child custody issues, parenting issues, conflict resolution, anger management, domestic violence, and more. My passion is helping people achieve their dreams and live happy, fulfilling lives. Counseling is providing support to individuals who reach out, helping them set goals; recognize and address barriers; examine how they are getting in their own way and how they are letting others impede their success and happiness. I enjoy helping my clients set goals and take action steps to move in the direction they want to go. My counseling style is supportive and non-judgmental, helping the client move from being problem focused to being solution focused. My goal is to help clients find a therapeutic process that works best for them, depending on the issue they are dealing with and their unique personalities and needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. Congratulations for reaching out for help. This is a first big step in getting the support you need to gain power over your struggles and to begin living the life you have always dreamed of living. I look forward to working with you in this new journey.

Robert Kiser MT-BC, NCC, LPC, ALPS, EMDR-T, NPT-C Hi there! I'm a licensed psychotherapist practicing in South Carolina and West Virginia, with many years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. My academic journey took me through Radford University and West Virginia University. I'm also the founder of SuperPsyched Solutions, LLC, my virtual private practice dedicated to providing accessible and specialized mental health care to individuals across South Carolina and West Virginia. I have a passion for integrating psychoneurological approaches into psychiatric care. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, recovering from trauma and adverse experiences, PTSD, Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, dissociation, somatization, phobias, grief, ADHD, parenting challenges, motivation, worry, and building self-esteem – to name just a few areas I address. My commitment is to offer you a therapeutic space built on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Your journey is unique, and your therapy will be too, completely tailored to your specific goals. It takes bravery to seek support for a happier life, and I'm here to walk alongside you. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly, describing my style as direct but easygoing, with a good dose of humor. Get ready to learn a lot about yourself in therapy – exploring your past, present, and what's possible for your future. This deep dive is truly where the magic happens. While our time together might pass quickly, you'll likely find yourself processing and learning new things between sessions. Therapy can be demanding at times, both mentally and emotionally, but these challenges often signal significant progress and growth. Remember, you are the expert on your own life, and you are always in the driver's seat of your treatment.
