Soula Zaharopoulos, MSW, LISW-CP
Welcome to Mind Up Counseling – Therapy for the Mind, Body, and Soul
At Mind Up Counseling, healing starts from within, where mind, body, and soul align to help you live a more peaceful and fulfilling life. I’m Soula Zaharopoulos, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW-CP) in SC with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate stress, life transitions, caregiving, grief, and emotional imbalances.
Whether you’re managing multiple roles, facing burnout, or adjusting to changes like divorce, loss, or aging, I offer a compassionate, personalized approach to help you restore clarity, resilience, and well-being.
A Holistic Counseling Approach Rooted in Tradition and Science
Inspired by my Greek heritage, where psyche (ψυχή) means both “soul” and the core of psychology, I take a holistic approach to therapy that honors the connection between mind, body, and soul. This integrative method helps clients explore emotional patterns, reconnect with purpose, and feel more grounded and empowered.
My Clinical Experience
Over the years, I’ve supported individuals and families in a variety of settings:
State Psychiatric Hospital – Crisis intervention and long-term care
Community Mental Health Center – Assessment, triage, and connection to services
Private Practice – Ongoing, personalized support for anxiety, depression, and transitions
Hospice Care – Emotional support for grief, caregiving, and end-of-life challenges
These experiences shaped the compassionate and client-centered care I offer today.
Therapeutic Approach
I draw from evidence-based practices, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – To shift unhelpful thought patterns
Mindfulness – To stay present and reduce stress and anxiety
Strength-Based Therapy – To build resilience through your innate capacities
Client-Centered Therapy – To tailor your care to your pace, goals, and values
Together, we’ll work in a safe, supportive environment to help you make meaningful progress toward your emotional and mental health goals.
Who I Help
I specialize in supporting:
Individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional imbalances
Adults navigating life transitions (e.g., divorce, career change, aging)
Caregivers feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained
Professionals coping with burnout and work-life imbalance
People grieving a loss or facing end-of-life concerns
Older adults and their families managing the challenges of aging

On a Personal Note
When I’m not working, I spend time with my family and our sweet Yorkiepoo. I recharge through walking, yoga, and group fitness classes—all part of the mind-body-soul connection I promote in therapy.
