The practice describes its setting as “a safe and judgement-free space” and emphasizes a collaborative, individualized relationship with each patient. All individual psychotherapy sessions are conducted in-person at the Charleston office location.

The practice serves patients from Downtown Charleston, West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, and Folly Beach. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Insurance and fee information are addressed in the FAQ section of the website rather than on the main pages.
