Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with parenting concerns, I support parents in navigating the challenges of raising children while staying connected to their own emotional well-being. Parenting can bring moments of joy as well as stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm. Together we explore family dynamics, build tools for responding to challenges with greater calm and clarity, and strengthen your ability to regulate your own nervous system—something that powerfully shapes the emotional environment your children grow up in. As parents develop greater awareness and steadiness, many find their relationships with their children become more connected, supportive, and resilient.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support parents who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, reactive, or uncertain about how to navigate the challenges of parenting. Together, we explore how your own childhood experiences, attachment patterns, beliefs, and nervous-system responses may influence the way you respond to your children, particularly during moments of stress or emotional intensity. My work helps parents develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and compassion for themselves while learning to respond to their children from a more grounded and connected place. The goal is not to become a perfect parent, but to build a more secure, attuned relationship with your child while also healing the parts of yourself that may be activated through the parenting journey.

Parenting is a difficult and stressful job. It doesn't come with a manual. Parents are human and make mistakes, as are their kids. You are taking a brave step in getting help.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As parents of adult children, there are times when we struggle in our relationships with them. There may be sustained conflict, and ingrained patterns of relating that have thwarted your ability to enjoy each other. We will review these patterns of communication, conflict, and discuss new ways of approaching your interactions with your adult children in order to have a more meaningful relationship with them.

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.
