Marialyn (“Maria”) Chowansky, LPC, provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy for teens, adults, and seniors across South Carolina. She helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD, with a special focus on supporting adolescents in a safe, encouraging environment.
Maria works collaboratively with clients to build resilience, strengthen emotional regulation, improve self-esteem, and develop practical coping skills. She is committed to individualized care, helping each person identify their strengths while addressing challenges in a structured and supportive way.
Her experience includes working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and those with developmental differences. Maria incorporates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
