Lauren Emmolo

Lauren Emmolo

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.6 mi away • Mount Pleasant, SC


Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) who works with individuals navigating challenges like narcissistic abuse, narcissistic family systems, high-conflict or emotionally manipulative relationships, and grief after separation or divorce. I also work with adults who recognize narcissistic traits in themselves and want to better understand their patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and improve their relationships.

I received formal training in both Christian-informed and secular counseling through my graduate education at Liberty University. Faith is never assumed or imposed; when clients identify with a spiritual or religious tradition, we work together to determine whether and how those beliefs might be meaningfully integrated into therapy.

I blend evidence-based approaches with genuine, compassionate connection, so you can feel understood and supported while learning skills to navigate life’s challenges.

Welcome!

I’m Beverly Zimmerman—a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with more ease, clarity, and confidence. I know how overwhelming it can feel to carry so much on your own, and I want you to know—you don’t have to.

My work is grounded in deep compassion and real connection. I specialize in supporting individuals who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, body image distress, and life transitions. I have been in your shoes, and I know how lost, lonely, and desperate that can feel. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or just not yourself lately, I offer a supportive space where you can take a breath, show up just as you are, and begin the process of meaningful change.

Therapy with me isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Together, we’ll work toward creating the kind of life and inner peace that feels more like you.

I help clients process trauma & recover from substance disorders. I work with survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, childhood abuse, sexual abuse & those suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, SI, grief, co-dependence & ADD. EMDR is available for clients who find they can't “shake-off” the past, as it lives in the present. EMDR allows my clients to move through their trauma and put it where belongs, in the past. Trauma is not your fault but healing is your responsibility.

Hi,

I'm Shanda. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Human Development and veteran. After leaving the military and working for the government a while, I went back to school so I could serve in this field. It has turned out to be the most rewarding time of my life.

For the last 5 years, I've partnered with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, marital issues and more recently substance addiction to help them experience better-to reach their mental health goals.

Christy Mixson

Christy Mixson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Beaufort, SC


Life offers so much to be enjoyed and known and shared. I offer a therapeutic relationship that is designed to help you live your life more fully. Whatever your struggle, suffering feels worse without support. Information and skills may help you work within your circumstances. Yet, emotional connections and corrective experiences within therapy often effect the most change! Together, we are likely to find more optimistic outcomes.

As a graduate of Regent University with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am trained to provide professional care for diagnosable symptoms, but my view and approach holds that people are able to be their best self by experiencing their own inner healing and through healthy relationships. My clinical training included serving in a group foster home for teens and working in two group private practices. I have helped improve lives with a wide range of clients, including self-harming adolescents. Helping couples deepen their bond and reduce conflict has been my private practice passion since 2020; I have training across multiple modalities, including EFT, Gottman, IFS, RLT and Brainspotting. Within couples or individual therapy, I regularly help clients process difficult experiences and developmental trauma. Then, they have more capacity for relational and skills-based learning to propel them into seasons of greater internal and external peace and happiness.
