I'm also certified in perinatal mental health, supporting parents through pregnancy, postpartum challenges, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm.

With years of experience as a school-based and clinical therapist, I’ve helped clients develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and manage life’s transitions. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and Alternative Lifestyle-friendly, providing a judgment-free space for all individuals.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to reframe negative thought patterns

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to embrace emotions while taking action

  • Motivational Interviewing – to empower sustainable change

  • Prepare/Enrich Program – to strengthen relationships

 I am committed to helping you heal, grow, and build a balanced, fulfilling life. Let’s start your journey together.

COUNSELING INTERN

Shanice Nelson

 I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University, with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Couples. With a strong foundation in psychology/gender studies and years of hands-on experience working with children, families, and underserved communities, I  bring my compassion, cultural awareness, and a commitment to emotional growth to my work.

 

I’m a mother of two beautiful little girls, my favorite color is purple and I absolutely love leopard print! I’ve worked within Charleston County School District as a Teacher’s Assistant for the past 5 years. It has offered growth and networking opportunities. My professional journey reflects a deep passion for interpersonal connection, emotional support, and community uplift.

 

My long-term goal is to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and establish a mentorship program specifically designed to support and empower Black youth. I’m excited to grow in the field of mental health, gain clinical experience, and contribute meaningfully to the well-being of others.
