Kevin Phillips

About me

Hi, my name is Kevin Phillips. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina in 2013 because I wanted to help people improve their mental health and achieve happiness. I have been married twice. After about four years my first wife joined a prostitution ring. I didn't find out about it for several months though after she convinced all our friends, family and church buddies that I was the sick one causing our marriage to fail. After I found out about her adventures, we tried to work it out but she wouldn't stop so I separated myself from her. I loved her but she was toxic. My heart broke many times but I had seek freedom. My second wife and I have been married 25 years. We have a 21 year old son and a 20 year old daughter. We have been through good times and bad times. We have never cheated on each other or anything like that but there have been times when we got on each other's last nerve. We've had communication problems, frustrations, stresses and power struggles but we've also had great times, peaceful times, cooperative times. We've had thousands f conversations over coffee, been on amazing vacations and accomplished wonderful things together even though there have been several times we didn't know if we would make it. Guys when I finally learned to get rid of my insecurities and really listen to and value my wife's opinions, things were a whole lot better. I learned how to be humble, how to not have to have it all my way, etc. Simply put I have weathered all the storms of being in an intimate relationship. I could brag about how I graduated at the top of my class in graduate school in Professional Mental Health Counseling and I could tell you about all the letters behind my name. I could even tell you about how effective I am in providing psychotherapy and counseling to couples. I could even try to impress you with fancy words and impressive sounding clinical jargon but that might come across as fake. Let me just say, "I know what's up". I have both the counseling skills/expertise and marriage experiences that I'm sure will help you. I offer encouragement, an upbeat positive personality and a can-do spirit who will come along side of you to help you get better. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.
