About Us
Origin Story
Welcome to Symp Way Counseling, a place where compassion and healing converge to support individuals on their journey to mental well-being. Our story is rooted in a deep personal connection and a commitment to honoring a legacy that holds profound significance for us.
Symp Way Counseling is named in loving memory of my mother, who passed away in November 2019. This endeavor is not just a business but a tribute to her life and spirit, a way to keep her name alive and carry forward her legacy. With a background in counseling and a heartfelt dedication to making a difference, Symp Way Counseling was born as a way to start my own path in the industry and leave a lasting impact in her honor.
Background in Industry
With a wealth of experience in the mental health field, I bring a diverse and comprehensive background to Symp Way Counseling. My journey in the industry includes serving as a school mental health counselor at a middle and high school for over 3 years and being involved in after-school programs at an elementary school for 4 years. I have worked with individuals of all ages, gaining valuable insights and skills along the way.
Prior to founding Symp Way Counseling, I worked at an acute facility for adults for 2 years, specializing in supporting individuals with brain disorders through both group and individual counseling. With 10 years of experience in substance abuse counseling and being a certified substance abuse professional, (SAP, AADC, CS) I have honed my expertise in addressing complex challenges and helping individuals navigate their path to recovery.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Claflin University, a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Webster University, a certification in Education of Play Therapy from University of South Carolina and currently hold a license as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in South Carolina and a license as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in Washington. My commitment to continuous learning and growth ensures that I stay abreast of the latest developments in the field and provide the highest quality of care to those I serve.
At Symp Way Counseling, we are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and empathetic space for individuals to explore their mental health needs and embark on a journey towards healing and growth. We are honored to walk alongside our clients on their path to mental peace, offering understanding, guidance, and hope every step of the way.
