Great to meet you!

My name is Shekina Adams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with five years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I provide individual, couples, and family counseling and have had the privilege of serving clients in home, hospital, crisis, emergency, and private practice settings.

My approach to therapy

My ideal clients are children, teens, adults, couples, and families who feel stuck in patterns and beliefs they didn't choose. These often come from the families, environments, and relationships that shaped them. Many carry beliefs about their worth, identity, and abilities that trace back to early words and relationships. They often arrive after years in survival mode, ready to understand why they think, feel, and relate the way they do. Together we use Family Systems Therapy, CBT, and DBT skills to build self-awareness, heal old wounds, create healthier relationships, and identity rooted in hope and authenticity.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will review your current concerns and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will identify your goals and outline initial steps toward progress. We will also determine whether weekly or biweekly sessions best support your needs and establish a consistent schedule.
