Counseling grounded in presence and science

I'm Kerry Wischusen, LPC. With a biochemistry background, a master's in clinical counseling, and formal training in yoga and mindfulness, I offer attuned, warm presence and practical skills you can use in your life.

Presence first, then insight

The silence skills I live and teach, paired with the frameworks of mind, brain and healing already published, make for a counseling approach that is deeply attuned and clinically grounded.

How I work

I stay with what you're actually saying and offer insight as a clear observer, not a lecturer. I'm a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with a bachelor's in biochemistry, a master's in clinical counseling from The Citadel and training as a mindfulness meditation teacher. Aetna and Cigna accepted. $90 for 45 minutes, $120 for 60.
