Maihan Yazmine Aurah, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

4.8(47)✓ Google-verified

Patients consistently describe Maihan Aurah as a deeply engaged clinician who listens without judgment and remembers details. Her willingness to adjust medications when prior approaches failed, combined with genuine care for each person's life circumstances, sets her apart from transactional providers. Her knowledge of mood disorders and medication management is paired with referrals to therapy when helpful. Zoom appointments are available and easy to book. One patient reported difficulty with the website portal, though her clinical care itself drew praise even in that review.

Duncan Howe, Counselor

4.7(23)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently describe Duncan as a skilled, attentive listener who creates a calm space to open up. Most report quick scheduling and practical takeaways like mindfulness techniques. One concern: initial front desk interactions can feel cold, though Duncan himself offsets this with warmth. His practice spans anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and panic attacks. Staff are noted as professional. He coordinates referrals to psychiatrists when needed. The therapist-client fit appears strong across reviews spanning over a year.

Kya Coreisa Davis, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

4.7(29)✓ Google-verified

Most patients describe Kya Davis as attentive and informed, making them feel heard and supported during their sessions. She moves quickly through appointments without dragging them out, and many credit her medical knowledge and caring approach to psychiatric medication management. A small number raise concerns: one front desk interaction was reportedly disrespectful, and another patient objected to being offered multiple medications when their existing regimen was working. The overall pattern suggests strong clinical rapport but occasional lapses in office management and prescribing philosophy.

Nancy Winston, Counselor

5.0(13)✓ Google-verified

Nancy Winston builds comfort and connection quickly, listening carefully and helping clients set achievable goals without rushing through sessions. She offers individual, couples, and family therapy in person or by phone, though some find the no-show fees steep and the Summerville office hard to reach by phone.

Debbie Maxwell, Counselor

4.8(13)✓ Google-verified

Debbie Maxwell earns strong marks for being approachable and practical. Most reviewers praise her knowledge, techniques they can use between sessions, and her compassion when handling anxiety, grief, and trauma. One reviewer noted she can push too hard too fast with new trauma clients without first understanding what works for that individual, leading to resistance rather than progress.

Karen M Smith, Counselor

5.0(6)✓ Google-verified

Karen Smith earns consistent praise for her calm manner and real-world advice grounded in experience rather than textbook solutions. Clients report meaningful breakthroughs with grief, relationships, and life stress. Review evidence is limited to six responses, all five-star, so depth on specific outcomes and limitations is sparse.
