Anxiety
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
Many people living with anxiety feel like their mind is constantly racing or their body is always on alert. When working with anxiety or fears, I help clients understand how their nervous system has learned to respond to stress and how to gently shift those patterns. Through greater awareness, nervous system regulation, and supportive exploration, clients often begin to experience more calm, confidence, and a greater sense of ease in their daily lives.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Anxiety can show up in so many ways—overthinking, constant worry, difficulty relaxing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, panic, burnout, or feeling stuck in your own thoughts. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, helping clients better understand their anxiety while learning coping skills that feel realistic for everyday life. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system, building self-confidence, setting healthier boundaries, and creating more balance so life feels more manageable and less exhausting.

Anxiety
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Many people experience anxiety or fears that don’t respond well to logic, reassurance, or willpower alone. These reactions are often driven by subconscious patterns that were learned over time and continue automatically, even when they are no longer helpful. Hypnosis provides a practical way to work with those patterns at their source.
My approach to hypnosis for anxiety and fears is personalized and collaborative. Drawing on decades of healthcare experience, I tailor each session to the individual rather than using scripted techniques. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system, reducing anticipatory worry, and helping the mind develop new, more adaptive responses to stressors and triggers.
Clients often seek hypnosis for generalized anxiety, situational anxiety, phobias, health-related fears, and performance-related fears. Hypnosis can be especially helpful when anxiety persists despite understanding its irrational nature. Sessions are conducted in a calm, supportive environment where clients remain aware and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a drug-free, complementary approach and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, it can work alongside other professional treatment to help restore a greater sense of calm, confidence, and emotional balance.

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.
