Rosa L. Snaric - LMFT, SIT, CC

Founder

Rosa L. Snaric is a LMFT, C.C. specializing in individual, couples and family therapy, and maintains a private practice conveniently located at 216 Adley Way, Greenville, SC 29601. She is an interactive, solution-focused therapist. Her therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. She integrates complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, she works with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to.

Rosa attended Clemson University majoring in Sociology with an Emphasis in Social Work and a minor in Health Science. Rosa received her commission in the United States Army through the ROTC program at Clemson. The US Army deployed her to Iraq within two years of commissioning where she was a Lieutenant at Forward Operating Base "Warhorse" located north of Baghdad. While in Iraq, she realized that life is full of obstacles and sometimes individuals just need someone to help them through life’s difficulties. It was there in the middle of the desert standing in 115 degree heat that she discovered life is about the impact you can have on another person. Guiding and directing those around you to find inner happiness and bliss. When she returned, she immediately registered and began classes at Converse College earning her Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

While completing the Masters degree program she worked for approximately twelve months at West-gate Family Therapy Clinic providing therapy for all types of clients. She then worked with Middle Tiger Community Center as an Intern Therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD with military families for two years.

After these experiences, she went on to establish a private practice in Greenville, SC. She practices in multiple areas including: individuals, groups, parenting classes, couples, relationship counseling, family therapy and life coaching.

Kaitlin Bonanno, LFMT-A

Everyone's journey through life is different and will look different for everyone. I believe that we learn from our environment and experiences. Sometimes the behaviors, ideas, and beliefs we learned don't always transfer to our current reality. Often, we learn things to help us survive situations but once we overcome sad situations, those behaviors aren't needed anymore and cause havoc in our lives and relationships. I help my clients understand and unravel their behaviors, beliefs, ideas, and thought patterns and replace them with ones that support their lives and relationships now.

I offer relationship and individual counseling, specializing in relationship and relational issues. I enjoy working with couples to help them boil down what they truly want and need out of their relationship. The saying "it's never about the dishes" is true. I help and teach my clients to feel heard, understood, and cared for in their relationship.

There is never an "end goal" when working on yourself. You'll always be a work in progress and there will always be hurdles to overcome. With the help of therapy, we learn tools to be better equipped for those hurdles. It's never my job to "fix" someone but simply to provide the space to help you discover yourself.

As an LMFT-A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist-Associate. I seek to work with my clients to bring healing to the pain that can come from life, relationships, and simply being a human. My approach to therapy is engaging with my clients to find the strength, hope, and resilience that we all have within us to move through pain and find a path to healing.

Kirby Barkley, LPC-A

I am a LPC-A, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I attended Walden University and I have a Degree/Diploma: M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Maybe your style of constant mental noise is to second guess every interaction you have. “Why did I say that? They probably think I’m some weirdo,” or “I should have done...” Maybe your style is a habit you’re acting out and wish you could change. Call it anxiety, stress, depression, or some fourth thing; Regulating our emotions and forming healthier connections is possible. Our conditioning gets in the way of us relating to each other and manifests in unhelpful behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes. Awareness can help us unhook from the conditioning that leads us into unwanted patterns of being and doing.

Mindfulness is not just a tool; it's a way of being that allows you to cultivate self-awareness, reduce stress, and navigate life's complexities with resilience and self-compassion. We'll draw from a range of evidence-based techniques, incorporating mindfulness meditation, breath awareness, and body scan practices mindfulness meditation into our sessions.

Starting a journey towards self-discovery and emotional wellbeing requires courage and support. When you're ready to explore mindfulness and somatic practices as transformative tools, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we will embark on a holistic path that leads to greater inner peace, emotional harmony, and a profound reconnection with your body.
