Therapist in Columbia SC | Mindful Journey Counseling

The Approach

Therapy that meets you where you are.

Mindful Journey Counseling is a mental health private practice led by Rosalyn Smith, LISW-CP, S — a Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice and Licensed Clinical Supervisor. Rosalyn offers a warm, calm, and direct approach that balances compassion with gentle accountability, working at a pace that feels supportive rather than rushed.

"At Mindful Journey Counseling, sessions are designed to help you process life's challenges, gain insight, and move toward greater balance and emotional wellness."

Healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a path you walk at your own pace, with someone who listens carefully and walks alongside you. Your journey matters — and the steps you take here are yours.

Compassionate care

A place where your experiences can be explored openly and gently.

Real conversations

Thoughtful, genuine dialogue with space to reflect, process, and be yourself.

Lasting change

Meaningful and intentional steps toward your goals.

Your journey matters.

— Compassionate care. Meaningful change.

How we work together

A path toward clarity and confidence.

Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy here is shaped around three things — compassionate care, real conversations, lasting change.

Heal

Make space for what hurts. Process what’s heavy and find steadier ground.

Grow

Discover who you’re becoming and build the tools to get there.

Move forward

Step into your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Common Questions

Before you reach out.

A few things people often want to know. If your question is not answered here, you can send a note and you will receive a response within 2 business days.

What happens in a first session?

Mostly listening. We’ll talk about what brings you in, what’s working, and what isn’t. There’s no pressure to share more than feels right. By the end we’ll talk about what working together could look like.

How do scheduling and rates work?

Sessions available in-person (Columbia, SC) and via telehealth (SC, NC, GA & TX). Self-pay rates: Initial intake 55–60 min — $140 • Ongoing sessions 55 min — $125 • 45-min — $110 • 30-min — $90. In-network with Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health and Cigna in GA, NC, TX and SC; Anthem BCBS of GA; Ascension (Smart Health) in TX; and BCBS of NC. A superbill is available upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Payment (credit/debit) is due at time of service. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies; late cancellations and no-shows may incur an $85 fee.

How long does therapy take?

It depends on what you’re working on. Some people come for a focused stretch; others stay longer. We check in regularly about what’s helping and adjust together.

What if I’ve never done therapy before?

You’re in good company — many first‑time clients start here. There’s nothing to prepare. The free consultation is a low‑pressure way to see what it feels like.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Sessions are a private space — your story stays between us, within the standard ethical and legal boundaries of mental‑health care.

Who do you work with?

Individual therapy for adults navigating a wide range of life experiences. I specialize in working with women.
