Philosophy of Care

Jessica McCraw is a South Carolina native. She is a seasoned therapist, with extensive experience helping individuals, couples, and families. Jessica earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Coastal Carolina University and Master of Arts in Counseling with an Emphasis on Marriage & Family Therapy at Webster University.

"I strongly believe in the therapy process and one's ability to overcome the obstacles life brings that are often unexpected. I have a passion for helping people and have been blessed to be able to implement it into my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I approach therapy by meeting clients where they are, helping them identify where they want to be, and working together to set and attain their goals. Together, we will build on your strengths and learn skills to improve relationships, find balance, manage stress, improve quality of life, and (most importantly) find joy and peace. I welcome and look forward to working with all new clients, fostering positive change."

Jessica's clinical experience includes private practice, community outreach, and community health. She has worked with diverse populations, providing individual, couples, marriage, and family therapy. She partners with clients who have severe mental illness, helping them learn how to cope and manage mood disorders, anxiety, stress, marital and relational problems, and self-esteem issues.

Robin Finley, LMFT

Philosophy of Care

I continue to feel privileged when individuals, couples, and families allow me to assist them in meeting their personal goals. After recognizing the need for additional support, many feel vulnerable and even overwhelmed in taking that first step. From our first session, I thrive to assure that each client feels comfortable and safe within a confidential setting to openly explore their experiences and emotions. I am committed to serving each client with compassion and empathy. I am a strength-based clinician who believes in working collaboratively with you to identify your goals and achieve your desired success.

I recognize that there is no one method or model of therapy that fits everyone; thus I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy based on my clients’ needs. I often apply techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Structural Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing counseling method. Additionally, with children I utilize both directive and non-directive Play Therapy techniques.

In 2004, I received my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from The University of South Carolina-Upstate. I obtained my Educational Specialist Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Converse College in 2007. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to practice in a variety of settings consisting of outpatient and residential settings as well as non-profit organizations and private practice.

Krista W. Martin, LISW-CP

Philosophy of Care

Are you looking to live your best, most authentic life?  Are you seeking a version of you that understands your values and strives to live them out daily?  Are you looking for a safe space to explore what you value, work through past experiences, or develop coping skills to become that person you hope to be?

I work with individuals, couples, and families through a multitude of therapeutic perspectives including Animal Assisted Therapy to help define what your personal “best life” looks like and develop a plan to get there.  I hold space for those working through life transitions and can help with stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, grief, and more.  I have experience across all life stages with children as young as three through older adults.

I have over fifteen years of experience in mental health, health and wellness, and leadership including case management, individual and group therapy, community based mental health, school-based mental health, macro social work and management of large community systems, and leadership.  I have a bachelor’s degree from East Texas Baptist University with a dual major in Religion and Behavioral Sciences as well as a Master’s of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington.  I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LISW-CP). I am presently enrolled in the Postgraduate Veterinary Social Work Certificate Program at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

Great Facilitator of Change!

★★★★★
LaKimberly Dowdell was an excellent counselor. She was a great listener, while at the same time knowing precisely the right moment to provide her expert knowledge. She is very personable and caring, yet knows what to say to support the change you are seeking. I highly recommend her.
Thriveworks Counseling Greenville

Patient, Compassionate, Very Knowledgeable; leaving you with renewed dignity and Self Worth

★★★★★
The only reason why my Family stopped going to see Ms. Dowdell is because I had to change jobs and at the time my schedule would not allow us to continue services. She made sure my Family had a great transition to another Provider and that we had continuity of care. Now that my schedule has a little more flexibility, I am very thankful to be able to continue services with Ms. Dowdell who still remembers my Family’s history like we were just in her office yesterday (over 1 year ago)! She listens intently and never puts you down, and helps you understand your emotions and what issues and problems you may be going through in a way that you can understand but clearly. Personally, I deal with a lot of stress and being pulled in a lot of directions, and would when I felt as though my words did not make sense coming out of my mouth, she would know how to piece together what I was saying and not make me feel bad for being too vulnerable and made my therapy sessions a safe space to learn and grow from them. I am forever grateful for how she is helping my Family accept what we need to accept, change what we need to change, and heal from the root of our wounds; wounds I did not know were there. I highly recommend her.

Emily Gilliam

★★★★★
Emily was the first therapist I had ever gone to after thinking for a long time it would be good for me. I was stuck in a rut and repeating patterns and using coping skills that were no longer helpful to me. She helped me work through many of my personal issues, some which had been stewing since childhood. She always knew when to push and when to back off if a certain issue was too sensitive at that time. She is honest yet kind. I was sad to see her move out of Chicago but I will forever be grateful for the tools she helped me to develop for dealing with the sh**show that life can be sometimes. She helped me get back into alignment with who I really am as a person. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is struggling or even just looking for a little more balance in their lives.
Thriveworks Counseling Greenville

Emily Gillian

★★★★★
Emily has been an amazing help in my life for the past couple of years. She helped me see my worth when I couldn't see it myself. She helped me with my grief after losing my father. She helped me overcome my addictions with drugs and alcohol. She taught me to be kind to myself and that everyday is not gonna be an amazing day and that's okay. She helped me accept that I don't have to know the outcomes to big life changes that it's best to go with the flow, wear life like a loose garment. Emily is such and amazing counselor and I am forever grateful for everything she helped me see. Emily cares tremendously and I know deep in my heart she is gonna continue being the sunshine in many more client lives. Emily has made a huge impact on my life and I don't think I will ever find a counselor as down to earth as she is. Chicago misses you already!!! :) :) :)
Thriveworks Counseling Greenville

Thankful for Emily Gilliam!

★★★★★
Emily helped me out of one of my most scariest times in life. I was suffering from intense anxiety and depression. I thought I was handling it well until one day had a massive panic attack. I did my research and reached out to her immediately. She met with me the next day and helped my put a plan into place for recovery. The first time I met her, I knew I could trust her and she tailored my therapy and sessions to what I needed at the time and at each stage of progress. There were times I digressed and she helped me get back on track and we celebrated my small wins and progress together. I would recommend her to any friend or family member. I know personally, taking the first step to get help is an important one. I can confidently say she was a great first step for me and I know she's fantastic at helping others too.

Emily Gilliam

★★★★★
I don’t write many reviews but this one is worth it. I found myself in a difficult and dark spot. A time in my life where in my mind, I had nowhere to turn. I reached out and I had never done this before. It was extremely difficult to say to myself, “I need someone to talk to.” Not knowing who or where that someone would be. And so, I was introduced to Emily Gilliam. A stranger, a therapist, a counselor. I don’t talk as it is, but Emily made it easy as I spilled my circumstances, actions, thoughts, and beliefs to Emily in a comfortable and secure setting. And for over a year, Emily and I were able to get through my darkness, my tough time, my thoughts, my situation. I would not be in my better place right now if it were not for Emily or people like Emily that are in her profession. Emily and people like her are needed and I’m am very happy that our paths crossed. And if you find yourself in a dark spot, a dark place in life, and you have the opportunity for your path to cross into Emily’s, you would be in a safe, secure, professional, space. I do thank her every day, even though she may not know it, or may not know how important she is and was to me and how her help, advice, thoughts, options, and opinions that she gave me got me through my darkness. So, if this review reaches one person and that one person has the opportunity and good fortune to meet and talk to Emily, I would be happy for that one person, as that person would meet an excellent stranger, therapist, counselor, and maybe a friend. Thanks again Emily, I wish nothing but the best, CB.

Review for Emily Gilliam

★★★★★
Full of compassion, wisdom, and humor, Emily helped guide me through one of the toughest years of my life. She is exceptionally skilled at what she does, yet makes each session feel effortless. I could feel she truly cared for me. She taught me practical coping mechanisms while also helping me discover who I was and why I should love every part of myself. I highly recommend Emily Gilliam.

★★★★★
This practice is really blessed to have Emily. Having been her supervisor and colleague for long enough to appreciate both her genuineness as a human being and as a clinician, I know she practices what she teaches, understands the human condition better than most clinicians I have supervised, and truly enjoys learning and working with people as unique individuals. I very strongly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.

Emily is the Best

★★★★★
Emily is a therapist with instinct!! She’s very good with all types of people and I can attest that she puts her 100% into each session. Emily has the ability to understand individual needs more then many other therapists I’ve ever encountered and is truly a joy to visit each week!

Emily Gilliam

★★★★★
I met Emily as a fellow clinician with a shared client. I was impressed by her thoroughness and thoughtfulness. So much so that I referred a family member who significantly benefitted from her therapeutic support as a therapist who truly understood his challenges.

Great experience

★★★★★
I worked with Dr. Emily and she helped me during a stressful time in my life. Every session with her was positive and beneficial. I left every one with more clarity. We focused on my personal relationships and major life decisions. I would recommend her to anyone!

Good experience

I have worked with Emily Gilliam in the past for my anxiety, depression and eating issues. I felt very much at ease with her and never felt judged. She was a good listener and encouraged me to take control of my life and my decisions.

Emily Gilliam

★★★★★
Emily has been working with me for over two years now. [I was a patient of hers at her former employer and still continue to see her.] I started going back to therapy and was connected with Emily when my anxiety and depression were ruining my life. The way she reframes thoughts and changes the perspective on issues I've had has been amazing and eye-opening. I am also a trans individual and Emily's ability to cater to my needs throughout my transition has been the strongest point in her favor. In short, in my experience, she's great with people struggling with depression and/or identity issues. Also, as a bonus, she's been very flexible with appointment times and dates and always fit my schedule no matter how booked I felt.

Caring and Friendly

★★★★★
I've seen Emily Gilliam for over a year and has been excellent. She is very friendly and definitely puts in a lot of effort during our session. It's really helped me out a lot and I feel as if I've made a great friend. When times were low, she'd find a way to cope with that stress or anxiety. I would recommend Dr. Gilliam if you are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, or just need someone to talk to.

Quality Therapist

★★★★★
Emily is amazing! I have never felt so comfortable talking to someone the way I did with her. Sometimes it can be hard to face your problems and talk about them out loud, and to a stranger. However, I felt that Emily just understood me and she cared to listen. She was real and companionate. I highly recommend her!!

Great practice – Jessica is amazing!

★★★★★
I've been seeing Jessica McCraw for the last 7 months and I have nothing but good things to say about her and her practices. With every session she gives me her full attention and listens to everything that I have to say. She continues to provide me with the tools and coping skills that I need to work through every day stressors no matter how big or small. She has provided me with a "game plan" and makes sure I do my homework to stay on track to reach my personal goals. Through working with her I have achieved a level of peace that I haven't experienced in a very long time. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through personal struggles or if you just need someone to talk to.

Krista Martin

★★★★★
Krista is great! She is very professional and has helped me tremendously. She was there when my daddy passed away after a long battle, when my momma passed away unexpectedly and when my son was going through so many teen challenges. Krista's compassion and honesty are amazing. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family.

Krista Martin

★★★★★
I have known Krista for over 12 years. She has and continues to be a true friend that I trust implicitly to talk to about any personal or emotional challenges I am dealing with. She listens calmly and without judgement and helps me to think things through and helps calm my anxieties. Only recently did I even realize that Krista had been providing me therapy many times throughout the years. When I am speaking with Krista, I am her priority. Krista is wise beyond her years. I would highly recommend Krista. Krista is professional, reliable, kind, caring, trusting, patient and 100% confidential.

Krista Martin

★★★★★
Over the past 5 years I have had a chance to work with Krista Martin. Krista is a wonderful person who is very smart and truly cares about the work she does. Over the past two years she has become a mentor to me. She takes her time to walk me thru processes and makes sure I understand exactly what management expects from us. Krista is wonderful to work with. When I make a mistake she will tell me about the mistake and take the time out to show me where the error was made. When I'm right she takes the time out to come praise me for a job well done. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule and investing it in me.

Easy to talk to

★★★★★
Nathan Hansen is very easy to talk to. The times when I threw him curve balls, he was always happy to do the research to help me with the problem that I was having. I always feel like he is listening to me when we talked and that made me feel more at ease to open up to him. I always found him to be polite and professional.

★★★★★
Lakimberly was my therapist when I entered into a very traumatic situation. The advise she gave me from our first conversation has still been the best advice two years later. Her demeanor totally makes you feel comfortable and never judged about any comments you say to her. If you are looking for someone who's calm , professional, and very kind Lakimberly will be perfect for you.

Life Changing

★★★★★
Having been to several counselors without great success, I was not sure what to expect coming here, but knew it was worth a shot. Emilee Scruggs has been amazing! She validated everything I am going through and never judges or acts like I am crazy. She is understanding, kind, and helpful! She not only listens to what you are saying, but offers reasonable strategies to help you in your daily life. I did not realize how much I was struggling until after just one session with her! It sounds dramatic, but truly my life has been changed for the better, I have even had friends comment on it. I also love that the space is professional without seeming like a doctors office. Overall, great experience and I am so thankful to have found it!

Nobody Does It Like Thriveworks

★★★★★
Most counseling centers make you wait weeks before you see a counselor. The fact that I got a face-to-face appointment with a professional counselor within 24 hours was truly amazing! To top things off, Thriveworks accepted my insurance. So I got help quickly and affordably. Thank you Thriveworks!

All talk

★☆☆☆☆
Having never done counseling before I gave it 2 session; first one get to know me and set plan and expect 2nd to be action. Well the only action advised in session 2 was to get a new job, thanks but not practical or helpful. After trying a different group/person for counseling I realized that my 2 session at Thriveworks were less helpful then initial thought.
