Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Gilberto Pagán, a licensed clinical psychologist based in South Carolina. I’m truly glad you’re here.
Throughout my career as a seasoned clinician, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across the entire developmental spectrum—from preschoolers and youth to adults and senior citizens. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Master’s in Developmental Psychology from Rutgers University, and I hold permanent certifications in school psychology across both New Jersey and New York. A central focus of my practice is working alongside neurodivergent individuals and their families, bringing a deep, lifespan-oriented understanding to every stage of life.
Hi, I'm Latoria. I am honored to be a part of your journey. My passion is about helping to make sense of past experiences to improve strengths. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) based in South Carolina, I support all individuals as they navigate life's challenges.
My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I am committed to building a genuine therapeutic relationship that helps each person feel supported, valued, and confident in their ability to grow.
My background includes working in school-based mental health and community settings, where I've had the opportunity to help individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that healing isn't about having all the answers—it's about having someone who will walk alongside you, help you build on your strengths, and support you as you move toward the life you want.
My passion is helping people become and maintain the best version of themselves by creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where they feel understood and valued. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are while helping them recognize their strengths, build resilience, and navigate areas of growth. I believe therapy is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, and I strive to create a space free of judgment where clients can openly explore their experiences and embrace their authentic selves.
