About George R. Woodruff, PhD

A Time to Heal

George R. Woodruff, PhD is a retired psychologist with nearly 40 years of experience working in hospitals, rehabilitation settings, and private practice. He now offers mental health counseling and coaching for adults, parents, couples, children, Clemson students, and senior citizens who want thoughtful, practical support during life's transitions.

After decades of clinical work across hospitals, rehabilitation programs, and private practice, George has stepped away from licensed clinical practice.

He now offers a different kind of support—one centered on listening, perspective, and helping people think through their situations and options without the structure of formal diagnosis or treatment, while still drawing from decades of experience in behavioral health and psychological settings.

Dr. Woodruff often reflects on how powerfully his own immersion in personal therapy allows him to deeply empathize with his present clients’ emotional process as they discover insight about the connections between childhood experiences and present-day struggles with self-esteem, ability to effectively regulate emotions, and communicate preferences and needs.
