Addiction Counseling in Mt. Pleasant, SC—Counselors and Therapists in Mt. Pleasant

Addiction is a complex disease. When a loved one is suffering from addiction, they are unable to stop using a chemical substance or engage in a behavior even if they want or need to. People with addiction can’t control the compulsion to drink, use drugs, eat, gamble or be consumed by any number of other potentially self-defeating actions. Even shopping and playing video games can be addictive. Addiction can wreck relationships, families and communities.

For those who suffer with an addiction, therapy can help. A specially trained counselor can help an addicted person manage their symptoms and succeed in the fight against addiction. In short, a professional therapist can help an addicted person get well. At Thriveworks in Mt. Pleasant, we help people suffering with addiction overcome the disease and live happier, healthier lives. If you’re ready to schedule a session, please call us at 843-606-6223.

I am very pleased with Susan Jillson as my provider. The referral to her was a great match for my needs. She quickly grasped my issues, cared enough to ask me what I wanted from her, shared her ideas about a starting approach to help that I'm excited to try, and already gave me helpful information in the first two sessions with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, relatable, and funny at times. She was prompt and the hour flew by. I like that she thinks outside the box and is open to referring me to someone else for matters beyond her expertise, while still taking an interest in those specialties. Lastly, I feel comfortable and safe with her.
