Our Team: A Nurturing and Intuitive Experience

Hi, I’m Nita—the founder of Magnolia Counseling Solutions and a Licensed Professional Counselor in both South Carolina and North Carolina. For more than 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. Each client’s story reminds me of the resilience we carry and the hope that emerges when we’re given the space to heal.

My journey in mental health began as an after-school counselor, supporting middle school students in their academic, social, and emotional growth. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for helping people—especially during times of transition, uncertainty, and change. Motivated to expand my impact, I earned a Master’s in Counselor Education from The Citadel Graduate College, with a specialization in Secondary Education, and went on to broaden my work to serve clients across all stages of life.

Today, my approach is both holistic and compassionate—rooted in the belief that healing is personal and that each client deserves care that honors their unique story. Whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, seeking balance in relationships, or simply needing a safe, supportive space, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you reconnect with what brings you peace, purpose, and joy.

At Magnolia, our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a nurturing and intuitive counseling experience where healing feels possible and growth feels within reach. It’s an honor to hold space for every person who entrusts us with their journey.

 Hey, I’m Diana—a Licensed Master Social Worker passionate about helping youth, families, and communities find healing and connection. I began my journey into social work during the COVID-19 pandemic, after years of feeling called to this work but not having the opportunity. That leap has allowed me to focus on what matters most: creating safe, supportive spaces where people can be heard, understood, and empowered.

I especially enjoy working with children, teens, and families navigating difficult circumstances. My passion lies in supporting LGBTQ+ youth, particularly those experiencing rejection or family conflict, and helping families reconnect through compassion and acceptance. Alongside family counseling, I also integrate psychoeducation—teaching skills in self-regulation, coping, and conflict resolution to strengthen resilience and confidence.

My therapeutic style is eclectic—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I listen deeply, meet clients where they are, and adapt strategies to their unique needs. I also work closely with parents, helping them recognize how their own patterns may impact their child’s well-being. Above all, I believe therapy is a process of discovery and growth, best approached with patience, empathy, and understanding.

Whether you’re a young person finding your way, a parent seeking to better connect, or a family in transition, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
