Hi, my name is Michelle Corey Colson. I am a psychotherapist, life coach, and Christian Counselor, as well as the owner of Beach Counseling & Wellness Group of SC located near Market Commons in Myrtle Beach. As a growing mental health practice, it is my vision to create a warm, inviting, and nonjudgemental environment for clients seeking psychotherapy, counseling, or life coaching. My approach to mental health wellness and coaching is relaxed and does not use a one-size-fits-all approach.

As someone who lives with ADHD and comes from 25+ years of working in corporate America, I understand how a heightened, stressed, and overstimulated environment effects the mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, I practice from an integrated holistic viewpoint to help align these three dimensions of the individual. My therapeutic approach to counseling is person-centered therapy (Rogerian) with beliefs rooted in psychodynamic theory (Eriksonian & Adlerian). Depending on the needs of the client, I will integrate other therapies such as CBT, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Somatic therapy.

Furthermore, as a proud graduate of Liberty University, I have an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a second MA in Human Services Counseling and Life Coaching. I will be also complete a CTG in Pastoral Counseling in March 2025. Additionally, I hold several designations as a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), a Certified Anxiety Informed Professional (CAIP), a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), a Certified Autism Informed Professional (ASDI), and a Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist (CYMHS).  I also hold a diploma in Youth Mental Health Coaching (YMHC) and a certificate in Professional Life Coaching. Moreover, I am a member of Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society and The American Association of Christian Counselors. Presently, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in South Carolina.

I look forward to meeting you and working together toward finding your inner peace. Take a chance on yourself today…This is Where Hope Begins!
