Greenville, SC Therapy, Psychiatry, and Counseling

I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in integrative medicine, substance use treatment, and mental health care. My experience working with individuals across a wide range of mental health concerns has shaped a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to care. 

I utilize an evidence-based approach that integrates psychiatric medication management with supportive therapy, focusing on symptom reduction, improved functioning, and the development of effective coping strategies aligned with your treatment goals, while fostering a supportive and collaborative care environment.

Starting care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. When you’re ready, I invite you to take the next step toward feeling more like yourself again.

As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.

I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients. 

In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.

When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.

Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

I'm Burt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervisor Candidate, and Registered Play Therapist Candidate. I specialize in working with children, teens, and families with a passion for play therapy, neurodivergence-affirming care, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, grief, and helping families strengthen relationships. I use play, creativity, connection, and evidence-informed therapeutic approaches to help clients feel safe enough to explore what's underneath the surface. I'm also a mom and a business owner, and I understand that life can be beautifully messy. The heart of my work is connection with people and professional relationships.

I want therapy to be practical and compassionate—tailored to people in front of me. Not diagnosis or checklist. I care about creating a space where children feel understood, parents feel supported and families understand one another. I specialize in Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Child Centered Therapy.

Resilience doesn't mean nothing hard happens. It means developing tools and support to move through hard things without doing it alone. Whether you're a parent, teenager carrying more, family navigating transition, or child whose behavior communicates what they can't say, there is a place. You don't need it. Just be willing to start. I'm honored to meet you.
