Shifting Tides Therapeutic Solutions LLC

Hi! I'm Kailee Place, MEd, LPC, CACI and I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology from University of North Carolina Wilmington before earning my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Clemson University.

My counseling career started in the addictions field, providing services in a community agency. After about 4 years in the addictions field, I decided to focus full time on my private practice, widening my services and wanting to serve a greater client base.

I practice from a non-judgmental point of view, seeing each client as unique, deserving of support and help with problem solving. I am confident about therapy and have seen it change people. I work towards providing a comfortable and safe environment for introspection. I work from evidence-based perspectives, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Humor helps too!

I enjoy working with adults who are struggling in some area of their life and would like an unbiased objective ear to provide feedback, problem solve, maybe ask the tough questions, but most importantly, provide a safe and inviting space to talk about the struggle and the distress.

A particular area of focus that I enjoy working with is young women who are struggling with their self-esteem, their direction, and perhaps finding their place in the world. Oftentimes these issues come along with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and general unease. I feel I offer the right balance of clinical knowledge with, frankly, just being approachable and kind. We all need a little help finding our way and I would love to help you find yours!

I live in Charleston where I enjoy spending time with my family and my goofy dog named Sailor.

I provide individual therapy for adults (16 and up). I do not work with individuals under the age of 16, but can provide referrals. I also do not provide couples counseling, though I will encourage an individual client bring a family member or spouse to 1 or 2 sessions as support for the client. Again, with couples counseling, I can provide referrals for you.
