Hi! I am Ebonik Corbett, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I specialize in partnering with adults and teenagers ages 14 and up navigating life transitions, anxiety, grief, substance use, trauma, and self-esteem. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling completely overwhelmed by stress, struggling to balance demanding daily responsibilities, or feeling stuck going through the motions. Whether you are seeking relief from a harsh inner critic, trying to process heavy life changes, or looking for practical ways to manage your mental health, my goal is to help you build lasting, positive growth.

My style is down-to-earth and focused on real results using CBT, DBT, MI, narrative, strength-based, and solution-focused strategies. I offer a warm space to be yourself while keeping you focused on your goals. I can seamlessly incorporate a faith-based perspective for clients who desire it, always completely respecting your personal journey.

No matter how fast-paced or overwhelming life feels right now, you do not have to figure it out all on your own. Your feelings are valid, and meaningful change is entirely possible. I invite you to take the next step toward your healing and happiness by scheduling an appointment with me today; I look forward to working alongside you.

Hi, I'm Dr. Troy Pharis, a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience and a doctoral degree in health science. For the past five years, my clinical work has focused on active-duty military, veterans, first responders, and their families—people who often carry high-stress experiences long after service ends. Having served 20 years myself, I understand life in uniform and aim to provide a space where you don't have to explain the basics to be understood. I typically work with clients who are dealing with trauma, stress, anxiety, irritability, difficulty adjusting, or feeling stuck with no momentum for change. 

I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an action-oriented approach that helps you stop getting stuck and start moving toward what matters most to you. I also incorporate EMDR to help process past events that may still be impacting you. Clients can expect a laid-back, informal environment with real conversations and tools that actually work. 

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin or even know where to start—if you're ready to move toward what matters most, I'm here to help you take that next step. 

My name is Lavon Pinder, and I have been in practice for 22 years. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Francis Marion University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University. Drawing on both my education and clinical experience, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and grief—helping them build resilience, find meaning, and move toward greater emotional well-being. 

I focus on communication challenges, isolation, social anxiety, life purpose, forgiveness, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, women's issues, and postpartum depression. I support clients navigating self-esteem concerns and major life transitions. My style is collaborative and person-centered, using evidence-based practices to help you gain insight.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, and it is completely understandable to have questions or uncertainty about beginning the process. If you are feeling stuck, hurting, or simply ready for support, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
