Counseling for the LGBTQ+ Community—Therapists and Counselors in Mount Pleasant, SC

If societal norms and prejudices of a community are challenged by the way an individual lives, the fine balance of physical, emotional, mental, sexual, and spiritual health for that individual becomes skewed. They can feel lost, isolated, and severely stressed. Despite the individual living their normal life, some people within a community may feel as if the individual is not meeting social expectations, which can invoke judgment and additional stressors. These stressors and anxiety can manifest in many ways from substance abuse to withdrawal to thoughts of self-harm.

Thriveworks Mount Pleasant therapists can counsel individuals struggling with these challenges to find acceptance and clarity within themselves. Services are accessible to anyone and everyone. You can set up your first appointment by calling 843-606-6223.

  • What prompted you to seek counseling services?

  • Do you like your living situation and support system?

My therapist at Thriveworks, Susan, is warm and and relatable. I am a late-diagnosed autistic woman. I am basically now learning what everyone else learned in kindergarten. I have a history of broken marriages and jobs I was invited to leave because I didn't fit in, to put it mildly. She has helped me in so many ways, and I can now see decisions I made that I thought were just what had happened to me. I feel much more capable and hopeful now. I wish I could have met her years ago. I have gone to many therapists over the years, but now I can see how I can feel hopeful about my life and my relationships with my daughters and my grandchildren.

Susan is my Thriveworks therapist. She is helping me set boundaries and make better choices. I am learning a lot from her. Having Asperger's, I often can be quite blunt. I am gradually learning how to say less but make better connections. She
