Bryan Fox, PhD, LPC-A

I grew up in a small town in West Virginia, surrounded by music and a love for sports. From an early age, I discovered how closely your mental outlook influences your physical performance. I also became the go-to person for my friends whenever they needed to talk or work through challenges, which sparked my deep interest in psychology.

I pursued this passion at Furman University, where I studied psychology and exercise science, before heading to the University of South Carolina for graduate work. There, I earned my master’s degree in counseling and a doctorate in sport and exercise psychology.

Over the past 30 years, my career has been a dynamic mix of clinical practice and education. I’ve worked as a therapist and performance consultant, helping individuals improve both mental health and performance. I developed behavioral health programs for the two largest health care systems in South Carolina. Additionally, I’ve taught undergraduate and graduate level courses on behavioral health and sport psychology at the University of South Carolina. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been leading personal growth and educational workshops for businesses, civic groups, and schools all over the southeast.
