Relationships don’t fall apart overnight. They erode in the small moments—misunderstandings, emotional distance, recurring arguments, or the sense that you’re trying but still missing each other. If you and your partner are ready to slow down, understand what’s really happening between you, and build something more intentional, I offer a space designed for exactly that.
I work with couples who want more than quick fixes. My approach is steady, relational, and grounded in helping you understand the deeper patterns that shape how you show up with one another. Together, we look at the emotional cycles you get stuck in, the unmet needs beneath conflict, and the ways each of you learned to protect yourselves long before this relationship began.
Whether you’re navigating recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, or simply want to strengthen your foundation, therapy can help you understand each other in a new way and create a relationship that feels more secure, connected, and intentional.
I’m a good fit for couples who value depth, reflection, and a calm, grounded therapeutic space. Many of the couples I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and motivated to understand themselves—not just “fix” the other person.
Reaching out is often the hardest step. If you’re looking for a private‑pay couples therapist in Beaufort who also offers extended sessions and intensives, I’d be glad to talk with you about what you’re hoping for and help you determine the best next step.

Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
You don’t need another space where someone nods at you and hands you a worksheet you’ll never use — and you definitely don’t need one where you have to explain or defend who you are. I provide gender-affirming therapy for adults across North Carolina and South Carolina, working primarily with trans, nonbinary, and queer folx navigating identity exploration, dysphoria, and the very real stress of existing in a world that doesn’t always get it. My work is trauma-informed and attachment-based, helping you make sense of patterns like overthinking, burnout, people-pleasing, and relationship cycles without pathologizing the hell out of you. This is a space that’s collaborative, honest, and actually feels human — where we unpack what’s keeping you stuck and build something that fits you better. If you’re looking for therapy that’s affirming, real, and a little more direct than the usual, you’re in the right place — go ahead and reach out.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story. My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies. These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives.
As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of spiritual trauma, or a queer youth seeking an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative.
I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress.
One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration.
When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet.
"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.
