Austin Obika

Hello! I am glad to meet you! I am Austin, and I graduated with a PhD in Psychology from Capella University. Before then, I received a master’s degree from Troy University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Paris VII. I am a licensed professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Arizona, and South Carolina. I am also an independent licensed addiction counselor (LAC) in the State of South Carolina. I have been licensed for over 15 years and have worked with many people and populations to feel better and live their best life! We face so many complex issues throughout the many stages of our lives.

I have provided treatment for individuals of all ages with a variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I have also worked with individuals who had been severely mentally ill or experiencing psychological symptoms associated with medical conditions. I have had successful experience in addressing Stress, Anxiety, Family conflicts, & Trauma.

I have also worked with adolescents to prevent out of home placement or a run with the Department of Juvenile Justice. Maybe you feel as if the weight of the world is upon your shoulders. Perhaps you feel as if friends and family don't understand, or don't have time in their own lives to hear your problems. Life can be full of feelings of depression &anxiety. Dr Austin is highly effective working with all age group and enjoys engaging people in the process of positive change.

My Priorities:

I give priority to the individuals and their families affected by serious mental illness and significant emotional disorders. Each person who receives services from me is treated with respect and dignity and is a partner in achieving recovery. I observe that individuals with mental disorder, trauma victims, and others who experience severe emotional distress and addictions are often the object of misunderstanding and stigmatizing attitudes. Therefore, I attempt to build formal partnerships and work with them to enhance their recovery process by combating prejudice born of ignorance about their situation.
