Donovan Czyz, LMSW

Life can be challenging, and seeking support is a courageous step toward growth, healing, and self-discovery. I am dedicated to providing a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, family and relationship challenges, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and create meaningful change in your life. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, empowering you to move forward with confidence and resilience.

My career has been built around supporting children and adults seeking an understanding of their emotional needs and behavioral patterns. Growing up around extensive substance use and adversity, I sought to further understand mental health approaches and obtained my MSW in 2024. My goal is to provide support to those seeking help with mental health, behavior, and resource connection.

I work with individuals and families across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood. If you have a child who needs help, or are an individual experiencing anxiety, depression, racing thoughts, relationship conflicts, self-harm, feelings of shame, low self-esteem, or behavioral challenges, I am here to support you as you embark on your therapeutic journey.

You don’t have to face life’s struggles alone. I invite you to take that first step toward well-being—your path starts here.

Samantha McDonough, LISW-CP

I am dedicated to creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for your therapeutic journey. My expertise focuses predominantly on supporting children, adolescents, teens, and young adults. My clients often grapple with a wide range of presenting concerns, such as racing thoughts, anxiety, persistent depressed moods, tendencies to self-isolate, relationship conflicts, family disputes, thoughts of self-harm, feelings of being a burden, and parenting challenges, among others. Whether you're seeking personal growth, parenting support, or help for your child or teen, I'm here to be your agent of change and growth!

When working with children, adolescents, and teens, I have extensive experience addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, family conflicts, foster care or separation from biological parents, and relationship issues, and many more unique struggles.

My passion lies in helping individuals uncover their self-worth, identify meaningful changes they wish to make, and achieve their personal goals. Together, we will navigate the challenges you face and work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth!"

Nicole Barakat, PsyD

Owner, SC Licensed psychologist

Certified School Psychologist III

Nicole has devoted her career to helping kids and families with mental health and behavioral needs. Her own parents’ divorce at the age of 18 pushed her to want to better understand the impact of mental health issues on family relationships, and led her to become a marriage and family therapist in 2004. Nicole worked in community mental health settings for five years, always providing supports to families and children seeking help with mental health and behavioral issues. After she obtained a doctoral degree in school psychology, she spent ten years working in public schools with children with autism, behavioral problems and learning disabilities, developing behavior plans and conducting psychological evaluations. Having children in her own family with ADHD has deepened her compassion for parents of children with mental health needs, who often struggle to find help, even when they have already been to the doctor, the school, and have exhausted their resources trying to do the best for their child.
