Jonathan Clayton
Jonathan earned his M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). Prior to professional counseling, Jonathan spent several years as a high school teacher and coach after receiving a B.A. from Wofford College and completing a M.A. in History at the College of Charleston and the Citadel.
Jonathan continues to be passionate about working with adolescents and young adults, but through his experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has also developed proficiency to help individuals dealing with addiction, anxiety, grief, men’s issues, relational issues, stage of life issues, stress, burnout, and trauma.
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, Jonathan also enjoys helping couples connect and build relational health. He considers it an honor to partner with both individuals and couples to foster broader understanding of difficult issues, resolve conflict, clarify goals, create healthy life rhythms, and optimize potential. Jonathan appreciates the courage it takes to enter into the counseling process as well as the authentic growth that is possible in the light of the Lord.
Both natives of the Upstate, Jonathan and his wife reside in Greenville with their daughter. As a life-long learner and outdoorsman, Jonathan enjoys adventures with his family, losing track of time in the woods or on a river, and preparing hearty meals for friends and family.
