Holistic Mental Health Services in Charleston
You are at the end of your rope,
Dreaming of feeling like yourself again,
But you need unbiased guidance.
Recognizing the Signs of Burnout, Stress, and Trauma
You’re on a rollercoaster of emotions, and you feel like a mess…
Panic attacks and breakdowns are happening way too often…
You feel “off” and find yourself crying more often…
You have trouble sleeping, and basic life tasks are really hard…
You can’t turn your thoughts off…
You can’t get over the past…
You’ve found yourself thinking about death or just not existing…
You binge TV shows, doom scroll social media, and look forward to that glass of wine (or two) every night…
You feel tired, empty, or lost…
You think you might be self-sabotaging…
You want an unbiased third-party perspective…
You find yourself people pleasing, or taking care of others, but it isn’t reciprocated…

Our Approach to Personal and Relational Growth
Ethredge Counseling Group is all about YOU!
We believe in the profound abilities of our minds and bodies to heal themselves, given the support they need.
Through holistic approaches, education, and a safe space to process your thoughts…
…The therapists at Ethredge Counseling Group can help you:
Feel supported by a trustworthy and compassionate therapist
Save you years of repeating self-defeating patterns
Learn how your brain and nervous system work
Process emotions in a productive way (instead of suppressing them)
Improve your relationships by working on the most important relationship first (the one with yourself!)
Is Our Charleston Therapy Practice the Right Fit for You?
Therapy will look different for each client, but it will likely include many of the following things:
-
Expert Therapists
Our master's-level therapists bring advanced clinical training, specialized expertise, and a trauma-informed perspective to every session. We believe therapy should be collaborative, never one-size-fits-all, and thoughtfully tailored to your unique history, relationships, and goals.
-
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps the brain process painful memories and experiences that continue to shape how you feel, think, and respond today. It's a research-supported approach that can create meaningful change without requiring you to talk through every detail of your past.
-
EFT for Couples
Emotional experiences aren't just psychological; they can also show up in the body. Through body awareness, grounding, and nervous system regulation, we help you recognize physical responses to stress and develop a greater sense of safety and connection.
-
Somatic & Body-Based Work
Emotional experiences aren't just psychological; they can also show up in the body. Through body awareness, grounding, and nervous system regulation, we help you recognize physical responses to stress and develop a greater sense of safety and connection.
-
Inner Child & Parts Work
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches, we explore the different parts of yourself, including younger, protective, and wounded parts. Rather than fighting your reactions, you'll learn to understand them with curiosity and compassion.
-
Family History & Attachment Sytle
Our earliest relationships shape how we experience safety, trust, and connection. Through attachment theory, family roles, genograms, and generational exploration, we help you understand inherited beliefs, recognize recurring relationship patterns, and develop healthier, more secure connections with yourself and others.
-
Practical Skills & Tools
Meaningful change happens both inside and outside the therapy room. We help individuals and couples build a personalized tool belt of practical skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and emotional overwhelm, while strengthening communication, boundaries, and conflict resolution. Together, we develop healthy habits that support lasting personal and relational growth.
-
Depth-Oriented Talk Therapy
We believe lasting change requires more than managing symptoms. Through meaningful conversation, thoughtful reflection, and psychodynamic, philosophical, and existential exploration, we help you uncover underlying emotions, beliefs, and unconscious patterns while examining your worldview, values, and sense of meaning and purpose.

You want your confidence to go up!
You want to understand how your childhood affects you now
You know, good things take time

This is NOT for you if:
You want a quick fix
You can’t prioritize weekly sessions right now

You are not willing to explore your emotions or self-reflect
You are not ready to prioritize your well-being
You don’t want to get to the root cause
You want your therapist to do it for you
You need documentation for a court case, or you are court-ordered to attend therapy
