Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.

When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.

Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

I’m Cherlyn Owens, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Converse University and clinical training through West Gate Family Therapy Institute. I am licensed in South Carolina and Virginia. My experience includes public service and private practice, supporting individuals navigating emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. I bring cultural humility and an appreciation for the ways identity, belonging, and lived experience shape our lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique story.

Hi, I'm Jaimee, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP) working in behavioral health since 2019. I work with a range of clients, including those facing anxiety, depression, and everyday life struggles. I also work especially well with queer and neurodivergent clients — as someone who is both, I understand how hard it can be to navigate a world not built for you, and to have real struggles dismissed as laziness. My goal is to create an authentic space where you can be yourself without judgment, whether you're exploring your identity, working through anxiety or depression, or learning to navigate this world. 

To create an authentic space, I show up authentically too — laid back, down to earth, and not pretending to have all the answers. I listen with curiosity, not judgment, and offer insight and education along the way. Ultimately, this is your journey — we focus on the goals the client wants to work on.

I look forward to getting to know you as a person and supporting you through it. I believe true empathy sometimes means not fixing anything — just sitting with you in the dark, trapped feeling, when nothing else feels like it can help. That's something I can do. Taking the first step can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

Hi, I’m Jonathan Kee, a Licensed Professional Counselor. My journey into counseling began with seeing how deeply life’s challenges can affect individuals and the people closest to them. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I believe everyone has a story, and understanding that story is an important part of moving forward. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply trying to better understand yourself, my goal is to meet you where you are and work alongside you toward the changes you want to make.

I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt techniques, I help clients explore how their thoughts, emotions, and experiences shape their lives. My role is to support and challenge you while empowering you to make your own choices and move forward with intention and purpose.

Reaching out for support can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to know exactly what you need or where to begin. Sometimes, being willing to have an honest conversation is enough to get started. If you’re ready to explore meaningful change, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
