ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
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.

Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy is most meaningful when it helps people develop a deeper understanding of themselves while creating practical change in their everyday lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in a difficult transition, or trying to change patterns that have been affecting your relationships or well-being, therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with greater clarity.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I work with adolescents, adults, and families. My background includes inpatient and outpatient care, emergency settings, and university counseling environments. These experiences have shaped my belief that effective therapy requires both a thoughtful understanding of each person’s individual circumstances and a willingness to adapt treatment to their specific needs.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies with Internal Family Systems and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate. I am interested not only in helping clients manage symptoms, but also in understanding the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences that contribute to their difficulties. Together, we identify meaningful goals and develop strategies that support lasting growth.
I have particular experience working with anxiety, panic, OCD, insomnia, depression, trauma, grief, self-image concerns, and major life transitions. I also work with parents and families who are navigating challenges in communication, relationships, and emotional well-being.
I recognize that beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or difficult, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create an environment in which you feel respected, understood, and comfortable being honest. I see therapy as a partnership, one in which we work together to help you feel more capable, connected, and engaged in your life.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Welcome! My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addictions and relational challenges so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrative and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, CBT, Somatic, KAP and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply.

I bring this expertise to my holistic wellness collective where our holistic therapists specialize in targeting anxiety, trauma and relationships.
