Jeff Burgdorfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience helping individuals and families. He specializes in anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief/loss, and men's issues. Jeff has spent the last 10 years working in many of the major treatment settings, providing therapy to clients in hospitals, residential rehab programs, and outpatient facilities. Through this work, he has cultivated and strengthened a unique skill set to help clients, using a person-centered approach to therapy.

Jeff's person-centered approach to therapy is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. When you meet Jeff, the focus will be on building trust, discussing what brought you to therapy, and why you decided to start now. These are important to Jeff's approach because your life & experiences are unique. For therapy to be effective, it can’t be one-size-fits-all.

Jeff is often asked about what contributes to client success in therapy. Although Jeff has learned a lot in his 10+ years as a therapist, his answer to this question has never changed: what matters most is how clients feel when they leave his office. It is truly the relationship that heals. He would love to meet you and discuss how he may be able to help.

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.

My approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Using CBT and the Gottman Method, I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, boundaries, betrayal, and identity exploration.

Therapy can help you explore challenges, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being and connection.
