Our therapists offer christian counseling in North Charleston, SC

Hello! I’m Renee Sefchick, a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate in North Carolina. I enjoy working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, high stress, career concerns, low self-esteem, divorce, separation, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers on self-confidence, strong routines, middle and high school troubles, and family transitions. I am passionate about helping clients develop healthy boundaries, strengthen communication, and recognize unhealthy patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck.

As a woman who has experienced divorce and personal trauma, I am passionate about supporting adults navigating change, trauma, and everyday anxieties. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered. I incorporate CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

I believe that healing and personal growth are possible, even during life’s most difficult seasons. My goal is to help clients feel supported as they work toward greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, and meaningful, lasting change.

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.
