Austin Faulk is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in treating depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, addictions, grief, men’s issues, and more in adolescents, teens, and adults. Austin works with clients who are ready to begin their journey toward self-actualization.

Austin completed his Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University.

Austin seeks to walk alongside you, kindly offering you his encouragement, knowledge, and assistance as you navigate life’s many twists and turns.

Austin employs an eclectic style of therapy, in which several modalities of therapy are drawn upon to best service each client’s unique needs. Together, as counselor and client, you will be able to process whatever life throws your way, develop a treatment plan that works for you, and begin your journey towards mental health.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, addiction, lgbtqia+ concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. I take an open-minded and eclectic approach to treatment, drawing from cbt, motivational interviewing, and person-centered strategies to help clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences without judgment.

I hold a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from the University of South Carolina. My background includes adlerian theory and a range of evidence-based interventions that help clients examine where unhelpful thoughts originate and how to replace them with healthier beliefs and choices.

I am here to support you with compassion and collaboration. Wherever you are starting from, whatever you have experienced, and whatever goals you’re working toward, we can walk through it together. I would be honored to be part of your growth and help you move toward a more grounded, hopeful version of yourself.

Hi, I'm Jaimee, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP) working in behavioral health since 2019. I work with a range of clients, including those facing anxiety, depression, and everyday life struggles. I also work especially well with queer and neurodivergent clients — as someone who is both, I understand how hard it can be to navigate a world not built for you, and to have real struggles dismissed as laziness. My goal is to create an authentic space where you can be yourself without judgment, whether you're exploring your identity, working through anxiety or depression, or learning to navigate this world. 

To create an authentic space, I show up authentically too — laid back, down to earth, and not pretending to have all the answers. I listen with curiosity, not judgment, and offer insight and education along the way. Ultimately, this is your journey — we focus on the goals the client wants to work on.

I look forward to getting to know you as a person and supporting you through it. I believe true empathy sometimes means not fixing anything — just sitting with you in the dark, trapped feeling, when nothing else feels like it can help. That's something I can do. Taking the first step can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone.
