Palmetto Counseling Associates

General Practitioners

Nutritional Counseling
Medications are only one piece of a total treatment plan. Other aspects of treatment include exercise, individual or group psychotherapy, journaling, spiritual modalities, 12-step programs and nutritional counseling. Many types of stress and biological predisposition can lead to the need for medication. These medications function optimally when paired with psychotherapy. However, at times the hopelessness phase of depression makes concentration and motivation so challenging that participation in therapy proves too difficult. In those cases, once the medication improves the person’s mood, he or she may utilize therapy to address the deeper issues related to depression. Medications can alter the neurotransmitters in the brain and normalize the body’s response to stress, enabling the person to return to his or her previous levels of functioning. It is advisable to speak with one of our psychiatrists about the length of therapy and to assess whether medications might be needed.

Pregnancy

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
When someone truly has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) it is very easy for them to stay focused on the things that interest them, but they aren’t able to focus on the things they do not find to be interesting.
Stress Management
Depression
Mental Health
Mental health is just as important as physical health but it does not get the same recognition. Much like the graphic above, the bigger picture is blurred and people are only able to focus on one aspect of counseling: the stigma. Many people, including myself, have experienced negativity about seeking counseling help. During a stressful time of need, support is what should be given to friends and loved ones.
Psychiatry
My background is as diverse as my approach to treatment. The practice of medicine came later in life for me. My first vocation was in garment manufacturing which lead to a 14-year career of teaching Industrial Sewing in Winnsboro, SC. As the garment and textile industry slowly left the country, I found myself questioning how I would spend the rest of my life. Through much soul searching and prayer I decided on medicine, specifically psychiatry. I chose osteopathic medicine, because of the holistic approach to wellness which is found in the overlap of body, mind and spirit. In the interim, while preparing for medical school, I transitioned from teaching Industrial Sewing to teaching college level science courses at Midlands Technical College, as well as; providing educational therapy to children from age 5 to 15, at Covenant Christian School, and teaching high school homebound students for Lexington and Richland County schools.
