Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in North Charleston, SC

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.
