Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Bluffton, SC covered by United Healthcare

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

I have been active in the mental health community since 2019. During this journey, I have had the honor of working with clients from an array of backgrounds and various life experiences including and not limited to survivors of sexual violence, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals experiencing housing instability, and overall assisting people as they navigate their personal healing journey.

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, passionate about helping people find balance, healing, and peace of mind. I understand that reaching out for help can be a difficult decision, and my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. I have personal and professional experience treating substance abuse, depression, and grief, and my passion is to help those who struggle.

Hi! I am D'Arion, I’m a therapist and the founder of Sincerely, your brain., LLC. My approach is rooted in warmth, authenticity, and creating a safe space where clients can truly be themselves.

I specialize in working with children through play therapy, supporting them in expressing emotions, building coping skills, and navigating life’s challenges in developmentally appropriate ways. In addition, I have a deep passion for supporting young women and college students as they transition into adulthood—navigating identity, independence, and all of the changes that come with this stage of life.

Right now, I’m also pursuing my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, which keeps me closely connected to both current research and the training of future counselors.

My specific areas of focus include:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Life transitions (student transitions, adulthood, career shifts)
• Women’s mental health
• Supporting Black women, Black teens, and communities of color with culturally responsive care

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and tailored to each person’s story. Whether we’re building play-based strategies for a child, or talking through the complex realities of being a Black woman navigating today’s world, I’m here to listen, support, and grow alongside you.
