Darlinda Banda, EdS, LPC-S, RPT-S, LMHC, NCC

I am an experienced play therapist working with children, adolescents, and families. I am dedicated to helping families recognize the link between food and nutrition in the treatment and management of anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and other issues.

Hello! My name is Darlinda and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S), Registered Play Therapist (RPT-S), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) licensed in South Carolina and North Carolina with over 8 years of counseling experience. I also provide supervision for LPCI and have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, foster care/adoption, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD and ODD. I also help people who have experienced physical, sexual or emotional abuse and trauma.

I believe in treating everyone as I would like to be treated, with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe in the inherent worth and value of others and that nutritional deficiencies underlie many of the lingering issues. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, motivational, and dialectic behavior counseling. Congratulations on taking the first step to a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. Darlinda
