Meet Mrs. Drummond- our mental health therapist
Hi! My name is Mrs. Drummond and I serve as the school based mental health therapist at AC Flora. I’m from Charleston, SC and have been living in Columbia, SC since 2021 with my husband and dog. I graduated from Charleston Southern University (Charleston, SC) in 2018 with a BS in Sociology and in 2021 with a MS in Clinical Counseling. I’m a licensed professional counselor associate in the state of South Carolina with hopes of being fully licensed by November 2023. I have been working for Department of Mental Health as a school based mental health therapist since February 2022. I started in Lexington County, serving at White Knoll High School, then transitioned to Columbia Area Mental Health to serve at Crayton Middle School and A.C. Flora High School. I’m passionate about the mental health of adolescents and work diligently to provide a safe space, tools, skills, and resources to as many adolescents as I can. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with her family and friends, traveling, listening to audiobooks, and shopping!
If you are experiencing mental health struggles, please do not hesitate to reach out for help. You are not alone! Feel free to speak with your counselor or myself about how to get the process started. I’m at the school Tuesday-Friday 7:30am-3:30pm or I can be contacted by email kabria.drummond@scdmh.org or phone 803-898-4777.
