Gwendolyn Ferguson, MA, LPC/S-C
Specializes In:
Gwendolyn Ferguson, LPC, helps individuals and families in South Carolina navigate life’s challenges with compassion, skill, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Through individual, couples, family, and group therapy, she supports teens and adults facing a range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. Gwendolyn brings warmth, presence, and a nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their experiences, build coping strategies, and reconnect with a sense of balance and purpose. With over a decade of clinical experience, Gwendolyn is especially passionate about supporting individuals through trauma and PTSD, including survivors of interpersonal violence, complex trauma, and those navigating post-partum anxiety or depression. She is deeply committed to LGBTQ+ affirming care and works with clients exploring gender identity, family dynamics, and self-acceptance. Her practice also addresses issues related to substance use, mood disorders like bipolar disorder and depression, and relationship difficulties, including couples’ conflict and communication breakdowns. Gwendolyn’s approach is rooted in trauma-focused therapy, combining modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques. She believes in tailoring therapy to each person’s unique strengths and challenges, creating a collaborative process that empowers clients to grow and heal. Outside the therapy room, Gwendolyn is an avid reader of psychological thrillers and a devoted yogi—currently training to become a certified yoga instructor with plans to incorporate trauma-informed yoga into her clinical work. She enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and spending time outdoors with her beloved dog.
