My name is Arielle Hipp and I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing from Anderson University. I have had the privilege of garnering a decade of inpatient and outpatient clinical experience where I have managed the care of a variety of psychiatric disorders. I specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating adults experiencing mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions. My clinical approach involves providing holistic and patient-centered care through evidence-based interventions, including psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle modifications to support patients in achieving their mental health goals. I believe that therapeutic alliance and the active involvement of patients in their treatment plans are integral to successful outcomes. I strive to be an advocate for my patients and their mental wellness.
With a deep commitment to reducing stigma, improving access to mental health care, and promoting mental wellness, I take a collaborative treatment approach, working alongside patients, their support system, and other healthcare providers to construct personalized care plans. I am committed to continuing my professional development through workshops, conferences, and continuing education to stay relevant in my practice.
When not working, I enjoy running, bouldering, exercising, yoga, coffee shop-hopping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends, which helps me to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance.

My name is Liz Maier and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan. With a background in both medical and psychiatric nursing, I take a holistic and patient-centered approach to treatment, recognizing the important connection between physical and emotional wellness.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing Education from SUNY Delhi and completed my Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner training at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. I am passionate about patient advocacy, psychoeducation, and creating a supportive, judgment-free environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered in their care.
I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, and other mood and stress-related concerns. I am especially passionate about providing affirming and inclusive care to individuals within the LGBTQ+ community and believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built through collaboration, trust, and individualized treatment planning.
I am committed to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and improving access to quality psychiatric care. My goal is to treat the whole person rather than simply addressing symptoms, helping patients build resilience, confidence, balance, and meaningful change in their lives.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the Greenville area with my wife and two children, as well as traveling, staying active, tackling home design projects, and discovering new coffee shops and local restaurants.

My name is Greg Smith, and I am dual board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This integrated background allows me to understand the important connection between physical and mental health and how each can influence overall well-being.
My clinical approach is founded on the belief that optimal health requires attention to both body and mind. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I take time to understand each person's unique circumstances and develop individualized treatment plans that align with their values, goals, and overall well-being.
I believe in treating the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses. My goal is to improve access to quality mental health care within the community while providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment that helps individuals build resilience, improve their mental health, and achieve meaningful, lasting wellness.
I welcome patients of all ages and backgrounds and am committed to fostering strong therapeutic relationships built on trust, collaboration, and respect.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, staying active, reading, and continually learning new things both personally and professionally.

My name is Kirsten Cooper and I am a licensed professional counseling associate (LPC-A). I graduated from Clemson University in 2025 with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. Since graduating, I have had the opportunity to begin my career in an inpatient psychiatric setting, where I have broadened my clinical expertise by providing treatment for individuals with a wide range of psychiatric disorders through comprehensive treatment planning and group therapy facilitation.
My passion is helping individuals foster meaningful, healthy relationships with themselves and others. I believe that healing begins in a space of compassion and empathy. My goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I utilize an existential approach while also incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to promote growth, healing, and create lasting, meaningful change.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, being outside, trying new cooking/baking recipes, and coffee shop hopping, all enhancing a meaningful balance between my life and work!
