Denielle Nesbitt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Camden, SC


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

My name is Samantha Miller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in Art Therapy. My passion is to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore their experiences and move toward overall wellness using their own unique strengths.

While I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices, I believe that therapy should be as individual as the person receiving it. I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, with experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Margeaux Groene

Margeaux Groene

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I'm Margeaux Groene, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my work with adolescents and adults seeking help with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and substance use disorders. Originally from Tidewater, Virginia, I graduated from Calvin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. During my counseling internship, I focused on the effective use of telehealth treatment with the adolescent population. I am skilled in the treatment of substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as depression and trauma. My previous positions with Synergy Counseling LLC, Caron Treatment Center’s Northern Virginia location, and most recently, New Paradigm Recovery, have given me years of experience working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings. These experiences have honed my specialization in the treatment of co-occurring substance use disorders and PTSD. My passion for working with clients suffering from unresolved trauma and clinically treatable PTSD led me to obtain training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDRIA-approved Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy in January 2022. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and improve your well-being!
