Thank you for visiting my page to learn more about how I may be able to help your patient. I offer both in person and virtual counseling during evening hours to make getting help easy and accessible for adults across the state of South Carolina.
I specialize in helping high achieving adults break free from patterns of anxiety, people pleasing, and perfectionism.
I also help couples in which one or more partner has trauma history or attachment wounds.
Here are some of the issues I have had success in treating:
- Anxiety (including general and social)
- Depression
- Mood swings
- Obsessive thoughts / Compulsive behaviors
- Postpartum Issues
- Attachment Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Post Traumatic Stress
- Complex / Developmental Trauma
I generally use a combination of these different treatment models depending on the client’s needs.
- Internal Family Systems
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Somatic Experiencing and Mindfulness
I work well with people who have done “all the things” to try to fix their problems already. They may have even been to therapy before. Cognitive behavioral techniques tend not to work as well with my clients because they logically KNOW they’re being irrational. The belief systems are buried deep in their bodies, often times a result of some form of trauma which they may not identify as trauma (maybe because it wasn’t labeled as “abuse”). I use a more body-focused approach, helping to regulate the nervous system and heal inner child wounds.
If you’d like to make a referral, please email anakelley@nextgenerationcounseling.com or fax me the patient’s presenting problems and contact information to 864-900-0480.
I really appreciate your trust in me as a provider. If you have any questions for me please feel free to reach out.
