Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
Do you appear to be managing life well on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who understand their patterns yet still feel stuck in them. I offer a warm, compassionate space grounded in trauma-focused, mind-body approaches where we explore what’s happening in your mind, body, and nervous system so you can experience real change—not just insight, but a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and connection.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
What makes my therapy practice unique is the genuine care, compassion, and connection I bring to each client. I strive to create a space where people feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, helping clients feel supported while working through anxiety, stress, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I work with adults of all ages, including college students, young adults, and individuals navigating career changes or uncertain seasons of life. I tailor therapy to each person’s individual needs and goals using evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming practices rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Above all, I want clients to feel understood, supported, and reminded that they do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Cheryl Boucher
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
My approach to chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma is informed by my professional training and mental health journey. I’ll focus on understanding your experiences and will ask you about your medical and mental health history, past treatments, and what you want to change or improve in your life. I will listen to your story and how it has affected your daily functioning, emotions, thoughts, and quality of life. From there, we will work together to create a treatment plan that reflects your specific needs, goals, and hopes for overcoming chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Columbia is South Carolina's state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, creating a city with a significant student population, major public health infrastructure, and the complex racial and political dynamics of a Deep South capital navigating its Confederate history and ongoing racial equity challenges. Fort Jackson, the US Army's largest initial entry training post, is located in Columbia and brings a significant military population whose mental health needs—particularly around transition and trauma—are an important part of the local care landscape. Prisma Health provides behavioral health services to the community, and a private therapy sector serves the city's mix of students, government workers, and military families. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, military and veteran transition, race and identity in a historically complex Southern capital, anxiety, depression, and the political stress of living in a contentious state capital environment.
