Hi, I'm Zarisa Watkins, a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina. My background includes years of community mental health work, where I supported
clients through anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and family conflict. I work with teens and adults, and I'd love to be part of your journey toward feeling steadier
In our work together, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy to help you notice the thought patterns that keep anxiety or depression in place, and acceptance and
commitment therapy to build room for hard feelings without letting them run the show. For couples and families, I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and rebuild trust. When trauma is part of the picture, I bring a trauma focused approach at a pace that feels safe. I also use motivational interviewing and mindfulness to help you set realistic goals and stay grounded between sessions. Whether you 're managing
ADHD, grief, or family conict, sessions are collaborative and tailored to where you are right now.
Your rst session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk through what brought you to therapy, what's been hardest lately, and what you're hoping will change. From there, we'll build a plan together, one that ts your life, not a one size ts all script. You can expect a space that's warm, direct, and judgment free, where you're never rushed and always heard.
