Elizabeth Vinson, CEO, M.A., LPC, LPCS

" I am proud to be surrounded by professionals that take helping seriously. Empathy is not just a word, but a modality. Assisting people towards a happier, more consistent and confident person is the impact of our mission. "

"I hold a strong belief that each client I work with is the expert on their own lives. I love helping my clients become aware of their own ability to work through difficult experiences. I feel joy when a client trusts me with their greatest pain and I can provide a respite, if only for a brief while. I want my clients to know how to dance in the rain, rather than feel the gloom and miss the beauty that the rain produces."

“From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow”; is one of my favorite quotes that shows that through hardships and obstacles we can always find ways to water our own growth and healing. I take this approach as the client as the expert finding your strength in places you didn’t know existed. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and self esteem issues. I take a non judgemental approach to provide a safe environment for you to be your authentic self. It is also an honor to be able to focus on growing and excelling our future clinicians to provide the best quality care and services to our clients and their communities.  

"As a licensed professional counselor, I understand the importance of creating a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I enjoy working alongside children, adolescents, and young adults, helping identify personal strengths that serve as a foundation for building skills and resolving problems. My goal is to encourage my clients to explore and deepen their understanding on the issues most affecting their lives, developing the tools to overcome many obstacles or situations. I believe all individuals deserve to live life to its fullest potential!"

"I believe in embracing people responsibly with respect, trust, and honesty. Often, people are discouraged from seeking help for themselves, due to varying emotional position(s) of which they find themselves. I believe people should tell their story, and with assistance processing their narrative to become the version they've forgotten was possible."

"My focus is client-centered and I believe that the client will lead us to their desired location if we just listen. While my specialty is dealing with clients that have had issues with drugs and alcohol in the past, my focus is more often on the client’s root causes and conditions that led them to using these coping mechanisms."

I would be honored to offer peace, understanding, safety, and a caring passion for your mental health and recovery journey.  I offer ways to build self- worth, address self defeating thoughts, worries, and process them with compassion and empathy. I want people to know that I offer a nonjudgmental approach and a true passion for seeing the potential and inner strength of each and every person I encounter in my career.

 As an Air Force veteran with an extensive military background, I bring a unique and diverse perspective to my practice. I have been an independent clinical social worker for 9 years and a practicing psychotherapist for 11 years. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey to well-being, utilizing a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Training, and Meditation. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or the convenience of online therapy, I am here to help you cultivate a more fulfilling life. 

Hi, I'm Taylor Noble, LMFT and an EMDR therapist. I know that looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, and I want you to feel at ease as you begin this journey. With 35 years of counseling experience, I bring both depth and breadth to the work we do together. I've worked in residential care, group homes, inpatient psychiatric units, and outpatient private practice. This, in addition to my own personal journey gives me an insightful understanding on the many ways people struggle -- and heal.

I draw from many approaches, such as CBY, DBT, EMDR, EFT, family Systems, mindfulness, and others to customize your treatment to meet your needs. I specialize in trauma, couples, mood disorders, and also work with people struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and the like. I generally provide therapy for those 18 and up, offering individual, couples, family, and at times group therapy. It would be an honor to walk with you and support you in your healing and growth. 

 I am a trauma-informed mental health clinician and EMDR-trained therapist specializing in helping adolescents, adults, families, and first responders navigate the impact of trauma and chronic stress. My work focuses on helping clients understand and regulate their nervous system, recognize physiological responses to stress and trauma, and develop effective strategies for emotional and physiological regulation. I integrate trauma-focused approaches with an emphasis on creating safety, strengthening coping skills, and supporting meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help clients move from simply managing symptoms to developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over their emotional and physiological responses.  

Seeking help when you are in the midst of turmoil can seem overwhelming. Maybe you are just getting out of an abusive relationship, maybe you are still in one with no idea how to start getting out of it. It’s possible you might be looking to get help sorting out a trauma from your past that keeps popping up and you don’t know where to start. Sometimes life can feel like a really unorganized closet that seems too overwhelming to even begin, so you just keep closing the door.  

 Finding answers to those difficult questions in life can feel frustrating and intimidating. Often we wait for a long time before getting the courage to confront them.  We know we need to talk, to get help, to look for the truth about ourselves and our life but finding the time and space to do so is challenging in the busy, complex world we live in.  Whether it’s worries and fears, ups and downs of life, or relationship stress, making time to address these and other concerns is a great way to get your life back on track.As a licensed social worker and with experience working with adults, adolescents, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.  I have a range of experience from acute psychiatric settings, volunteering in shelters, and working in agencies that help families.  Additionally I enjoy working with people of faith and processing how their spiritual life may affect their day to day outlook. 

 I am passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals and live happier, more fulfilling lives. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore their challenges and find solutions where clients can explore their challenges, identify their strengths, and develop effective coping mechanisms.  Drawing on evidence-based practices, I tailor my counseling sessions to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I am here to listen, and provide the tools you need to navigate your challenges.  I was fortunate to complete my practicum and internship here at Lakeside and given the opportunity to return as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. My time spent here I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse population of individuals. I found that I enjoy utilizing a variety of modalities but CBT and DBT are my favorite as they promote change and mindfulness. 

 I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change. With a deep respect for each person’s unique journey, I integrate trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and strength-based approaches to support clients across the lifespan—My goal is to walk alongside you, honoring your resilience and helping you navigate life’s complexities with compassion and clarity. 

 Using a humanistic approach in session, I  am able to bring resilience, empathy, and heart to my work as a mental health counselor. I support clients of all ages through life’s ups and downs—helping with emotional growth, self-discovery, relationships, stress, anxiety, and more in a safe, caring, non-judgmental space. Guided by my belief in the power of hope and grace, I approach every client with compassion and understanding. Every story matters, and I am honored to help others find healing, strength, and renewed hope. I believe that even the smallest steps forward are powerful acts of courage and growth.

  Life inevitably presents challenges that can stretch us beyond what we feel prepared to handle. It is my passion to help individuals recognize the value of counseling as a powerful tool for growth, healing, and transformation. My career has spanned working with children in school and community settings, guiding teens in developing essential life skills, and supporting adults as they navigate life transitions toward their desired goals. These experiences have shaped me into an empathetic counselor who balances warmth with clinical skill. I strive to create a collaborative space where clients feel both supported and challenged to grow. My approach focuses on fostering insight, strengthening coping skills, and helping clients uncover the resilience they already possess, empowering them to reclaim control and move confidently toward the life they envision. 

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A). My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being your most vulnerable and authentic self. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship, and I will work with you to identify your goals, strengths, and the changes that feel most meaningful to you. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive." 

 There is an old adage that goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” We often find ourselves showing up for others more than we are showing up for ourselves.. Are you someone who finds that you are giving more and more time and energy to your profession, family, and other important areas leaving you feeling depleted? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Together we can navigate your feelings, implement coping strategies that work for you, and help provide relief that can begin to fill your cup, allowing you to be the best version you can be for yourself and others.    
I am direct and solution-focused and we will work together to address the stress, burnout, and anxiety that drain your cup and implement skills on how to refill. I have attended training sessions that teach Solution Focused Brief Therapy and can help you achieve the balance you need and deserve. 

As a school-based clinician, I have the unique privilege of supporting children in a way that allows me to collaborate with families, teachers, and school staff to advocate for my clients and provide support in the environments where they learn, grow, and navigate everyday challenges.

I believe every person deserves to feel heard and to be able to recognize their self-worth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, build on their strengths, and develop the tools they need to thrive. Whether a child is struggling with anxiety, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, peer relationships, or life transitions, I strive to meet them where they are and walk alongside them on their journey toward healing and growth.

“Your body cannot heal without play.
Your mind cannot heal without laughter.
Your soul cannot heal without joy.”
                     -Catherine Rippenger Fenwick

I believe that in therapy, finding joy through safety and creativity is what builds resilience
and emotional health. Using an integrated approach that untangles thoughts, emotions, and
behaviors and creates new pathways in the brain, more constructive paths when reacting to
conflict and distress. The goal is to find healing and discover or restore the beauty of who
you truly are. 

Good Day-

 “I believe that education is most powerful when it nurtures the whole person. When emotional wellness, self-awareness, and a sense of belonging are woven into learning, students are better equipped to grow, connect, and thrive.

My goal is to create space for wholeness, building the emotional foundation students need for meaningful and lasting success.” 

  I am a Master’s Level Clinician. I have experience working with adolescents with behavioral challenges, adults in crisis as well as my own lived experience with Depressive Disorders. I utilized Solution Focus and Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help clients uncover their goals and find the inner strength to reach them.  

  I am dedicated to helping kids build confidence, manage their emotions, and develop adaptive ways of thinking. Instead of focusing on a child’s limitations, I take a strengths-based approach that highlights what makes each child unique and capable. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, I work with students to help them reframe unhelpful thoughts and find healthier ways of responding to challenges. Above all, my goal is to nurture resilience, confidence, and practical skills that support each child’s well-being to help them flourish and thrive every day. 

 "I am ENOUGH.”
A truth that first echoed in my heart and continues to guide me. It’s the reminder that quiets doubt, strengthens my resilience, and fuels my purpose.My name is Alexis Dennison, and my journey, full of lessons, challenges, and growth is the foundation of my calling to become a Mental Health Counselor.
I commit to creating that space for every student I serve. Through compassion, guidance, and genuine connection, I help students feel seen, heard, and capable. My mission is simple: to remind them, just as I remind myself, that they are enough.” 

 Hi there! I am an LPCA with a background in marriage, couples, and family therapy obtaining my Education Specialist degree from the University of South Carolina. I have been seeing children and adolescents in a school-based setting since 2025. I strive to be wholly client-centered, utilizing a collaborative approach, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, dialectical-behavior therapy, and play therapy practices.

 “Healing begins where safety and understanding meet.”
 

 Hello! I’m an LPCA with a Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Since 2025, I have had the opportunity to work with children and their families in school-based settings. I take a client-centered and systemic approach to counseling, looking beyond the individual to understand how family, school, relationships, and life experiences can shape their well-being. I utilize CBT, BFT, DBT, and play therapy skills, tailoring my approach to meet each client where they are. Above all, I want therapy to feel like a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where children and families feel heard, understood, and supported. 

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) Candidate with more than 20 years of experience serving adults, children, and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

After earning my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from South Carolina State University, I completed my Master of Social Work at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. A native of Irmo, South Carolina, I began my social work career in Columbia before relocating to Hanahan in 2014.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic illness. My approach to practice is grounded in empowerment and a strengths-based perspective. I believe that recognizing an individual’s strengths and resilience can help create a foundation for navigating difficult transitions, overcoming challenges, and achieving meaningful goals.

Together, we can identify healthier ways to manage stress, build emotional balance, strengthen relationships, and support positive change.

I believe that every client’s story is unique, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where individuals can feel empowered to explore their challenges and strengths. My counseling approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and a holistic view of wellness—emotional, psychological, social, physical, and spiritual.

 "I am currently completing my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern New Hampshire University. I value creating a counseling space that feels genuine, grounded, and supportive, where clients feel comfortable showing up as themselves without fear of judgment. My approach is collaborative, reflective, and person-centered, while drawing from acceptance-based and cognitive approaches to help clients better understand themselves, their experiences, and patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck or disconnected. I believe many people spend so much time managing stress, emotions, expectations, or survival that they slowly lose connection with themselves in the process. My goal is to help clients build greater self-understanding, clarity, and movement toward meaningful change."

My ultimate goal is to empower you to reclaim your autonomy and build a life defined by peace and self-alignment.
