Michele Lynn Richey
Driven by a multi-generational family history of substance use, I bring a deeply empathetic and experienced perspective to my practice. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a National Certified Addiction Counselor (NCAC), dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome substance use disorders and related challenges.
My academic foundation includes a Master's in Social Work from the University of South Carolina and a Bachelor's in Psychology with an Emphasis in Counseling from Lander University. Practicing since 2014, I achieved independent licensure in 2023.
Located in the Low Country of SC, I provide expert, compassionate, and confidential care to guide you toward lasting recovery.
