Hello! My name is Matt Wiggins.
- I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology.
- I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in South Carolina.
I enjoy working with individual adults and teenagers as well as couples.
My areas of interest and expertise are:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Grief
- Shame
- Parenting
- Emotional Intelligence
- Relationship attachment issues
- Self-compassion
- Unwanted Sexual Behaviors
- Religious Trauma/Spiritual Abuse
My overall therapeutic approach is integrative in nature, meaning I select therapeutic interventions that adapt to the needs of a client. For instance, this could include Relational Psychodynamics in which we explore the ways that the past is still present and create awareness of how past relationships, experiences, and trauma are impacting current emotions, thinking, and behaviors so you can have more choice about how you are facing current challenges.
A faith-based approach in therapy could be applied and integrated into the counseling process when a client deems their faith and religious life important to self-understanding, growth, and change.
My aim as a counselor is to listen deeply and to hold hope for change. The therapeutic relationship is unique among our other relationships in that it provides a time and place for you to be seen and known by a caring individual as you process, heal, and grow.
On a personal note, I enjoy all things related to bikes (riding them, fixing them, and watching people race them), reading, podcasts, and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes. I’ve been married for over fifteen years and have children in middle and elementary school, a dog, and two birds.
