My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!

Ashley Goodwin

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I’m the kind of therapist who sees past “I’m fine” and hears what you’re not saying. I work with women who are used to being the strong one, carrying it all, taking care of everyone else yet inside, you’re tired, anxious, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to show up as you are, be honest about what’s weighing on you, and start doing the work to heal at the root. Expect real talk, genuine support, and tools you can actually use in real life.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in NC, SC, FL, and NJ holding a Master of Social Work. I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, confinement settings and community mental health, and those experiences taught me how complex, layered, and personal healing can be. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, using a warm, direct, and culturally responsive approach. I also facilitate group therapy and provide clinical supervision for associate-level clinicians who want to grow with confidence and authenticity.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Summerville, SC

Searching for therapists in Summerville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs. Some therapists focus on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may highlight experience with couples therapy, marriage counseling in Summerville, Christian counseling, or support for specific life stages.

In a smaller city like Summerville, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. If in-person care matters to you, consider office location, commute time, and appointment times that fit your week. It also helps to confirm whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and provides the type of session structure you prefer. Reading therapist profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, communication approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Summerville can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists, counselors, and psychologists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and may accept your insurance. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare profiles, review specialties, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
