Meet Your Clinician

Charles Goodson, LMFT

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this world can beat us down. It seems that we take just one step forward, and life knocks us two steps backward. Life is hard enough as an individual, but when you add a relationship it gets down right messy. People disagree, argue, and inevitably hurt each other. Unfortunately we were created to be social beings. We were made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The circumstances of our lives can lead us to feel insecure, or unimportant. It’s the lies we choose to believe that inevitably grow the problems that we experience. You can choose to think differently. I can help.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of South Carolina with over 22 years of counseling experience. I have helped a diverse array of clients dealing with concerns such as: stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family conflict, grief, loss, and anger management. I am a Christian Counselor with a drive for couples.

I believe that we are all endowed with innate strengths to help us through our life struggles. I know it takes courage to make changes in your life, and it is even harder to ask for help. When you are willing to take that step, I am here to help you in your journey. Remember that different isn’t always better, but better is always different.
