When an argument about the dishes is really about feeling alone, winning it never helps. Couples therapy gives you both a place to slow the pattern down and hear what’s underneath it. Relationships are what our Mount Pleasant therapists trained in: both are marriage and family therapists. You don’t have to be equally sure about coming, or in crisis, to start.
Get started Couples therapy in Charleston → Find the right therapist for the two of you in about 10 minutesAnxiety often looks like being responsible: checking, planning, replaying the conversation one more time. It’s exhausting, and it’s very treatable. Therapy helps you see what the worry is trying to protect and loosen its hold on your days, whether it started last month or you can’t remember life without it.

Our Mount Pleasant team sees children, teens, and their parents. With younger kids that often means play-based work, because play is how children say what they can’t put into words. You’ll be part of the process too.

Family therapy looks at how everyone fits together, so no one person has to carry the blame. Blended families, co-parenting, a teenager pulling away, adult children and aging parents all belong here.
Get started Family therapy in Charleston → Find the right therapist for your family in about 10 minutesDepression can show up as flatness, irritability, sleeping too much or too little, or losing interest in the things you used to love. It responds well to therapy, especially when you and your therapist get curious about what the heaviness is connected to.
Get started Depression therapy in Charleston → Find someone for the heaviness in about 10 minutesGrief keeps its own calendar. The casseroles stop coming, people stop asking, and the loss is still there in the grocery store and on the holidays. We help you carry it at the pace you need, whether the loss is recent or years old, and whether it’s a death or something other people don’t recognize as a loss.
Get started Grief counseling in Charleston → Find someone to help you carry it in about 10 minutesWhen something overwhelms you, it can keep showing up long after it’s over: in your sleep, your body, your relationships, the way you brace for the next thing. You set the pace of trauma work. We’ll match you with a clinician whose training fits what you’ve been through, in person or online.

Affirming care here means therapists who understand identity, coming out, family reactions, and what it’s like to be queer in the South, so you can get to the work you came for.
Get started LGBTQ+ affirming therapy → Find a therapist who gets it in about 10 minutesThat’s enough to start with. Most people don’t arrive with a diagnosis or the right words, just a sense that things could be better than they are. We’ll sort out the rest together.

Before You Reach Out
The five things people usually want to know first.
How do I find the right therapist in Charleston?
Start with what you want help with and how you’d like to meet: in person in Mount Pleasant, or online. Then look for training that fits the problem and a person you’d feel comfortable talking to, because the fit between you and your therapist is one of the most reliable predictors of how therapy goes. Our matching takes about 10 minutes. You tell us what’s going on and what matters to you, and we recommend the clinicians who fit.
What if I’m dealing with more than one thing?
Most people are. Worry and low mood often travel together, and what’s happening in a relationship affects everything else. You don’t need to pick a category before you reach out. Your therapist will work with all of it.
Do you see children and teens?
Yes. Our Mount Pleasant team works with children as young as 5, teens, and their families, and play-based therapy is part of how we help younger kids. Parents are part of the process from the start. More about child and teen therapy.
Do you offer therapy in person and online?
Yes. You can meet in person at our Mount Pleasant office, a short drive over the Ravenel Bridge from downtown Charleston, or by secure video from anywhere in South Carolina.
How much does therapy cost in Charleston?
Sessions with our Mount Pleasant team are $150–$175 for individual therapy and $175–$200 for couples. We’re an out-of-network practice and file the claims for you; many employer plans reimburse 50–80% of the allowed amount after your deductible.
