Meet the Providers
We know that life can be hard. It’s unfair. It beats us up sometimes. Sometimes people that we care about will hurt us deeply. Things unfortunately don’t turn out the way that we plan. When life hurts, we have to do life together. None of us can do it alone.
At Future Psych Solutions we take the time to truly understand our clients. We strive to help our clients overcome and learn to cope with their mental and emotional distress and lead them toward mental and emotional harmony. (#ME Harmony). We specialize in out-of-the box interventions that other offices may not offer. We also can offer traditional therapy and medication interventions. Most importantly we create a warm and nurturing environment and a true sense of community where you can feel confident that you have a team to help you through life.

Rance Jamaal Hayes
I am a seasoned wellness practitioner with 30 years of immersion in the health and fitness industry, dedicated to transforming lives through a holistic approach. Specializing in athletic training, functional conditioning, and corrective care, I possess the expertise to guide individuals from deconditioned and unmotivated states to highly conditioned and motivated beings, safely and effectively.
My current focus is on empowering busy professionals seeking a better work/life balance, many of whom grapple with anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and depression. Through a progressive conditioning process, my clients develop not only physical strength but also self-confidence over time, breaking free from the chains of modern-day stress.
As a coach, my belief in the untapped power within each individual propels me to offer more. I've been instrumental in significant weight loss journeys, aided clients in full recovery post-major surgeries, and guided thousands toward reconditioning both mind and body to thrive rather than merely endure.
My passion lies in elevating people, and it aligns seamlessly with the transformative power of physical activity. Backed by studies in International Journal of Psychiatry and Medicine, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of exercise in alleviating depression and anxiety symptoms, enhancing physical health, life satisfaction, cognitive functioning, and overall psychological well-being. Join me on a journey where your potential meets purpose, and together, we'll redefine what's possible for you.
Melinda Thiam
I'm Dr. Melinda Thiam, a dedicated psychiatrist with a passion for improving mental and physical health. My journey in the military revealed the stigma surrounding mental illness and its impact on seeking treatment. My work with service members and their families inspired me to specialize in women’s mental health, particularly perinatal mental health. My holistic approach integrates medication and psychotherapy, considering the whole person. I work collaboratively to find treatment options that align with my patients' unique needs. My focus on women's mental health led to my involvement in writing and editing a book on perinatal mental health in military families. If you're struggling with pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, or motherhood, I'm here to guide you out of the darkness of depression. Let's work together to reclaim the joy of motherhood and wellness.

Therapeutic growth, in my view, flourishes through nurturing and consistency. Nurturing involves investing in oneself, strengthening personal strengths, while consistency entails being deliberate in thoughts and cultivating positive habits. I'm a staunch advocate for meeting patients where they stand, ensuring their unique therapy needs are met. Encouraging patients to actively partake in their treatment by setting regular therapy goals is a cornerstone of my approach. My specialization lies in applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Strategies to help adults alleviate Depression and Anxiety symptoms. Moreover, I specialize in working with children and adolescents, employing creative and unconventional strategies to help youngsters process their emotions. A proud alumna of the University of South Carolina, I earned my Master’s in Social Work. Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in traveling, painting, and cherishing moments with my family, friends, and two dogs (Mollie and McDuffie). You might spot me enjoying Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars content or engaging in various events in Columbia.

My journey began at Syracuse University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Family Studies. My career encompassed roles in the New York State Office of Children & Family Services, where I provided counseling to youth and families. My commitment extends to addressing societal issues through innovative programs. I'm an advocate for family violence awareness, and my work in Batterer’s Intervention Programs and as a National Speaker highlights this dedication. Collaborating with various organizations, I've educated athletes and coaches on gender violence. My move to the Carolinas saw me elected as a board member for the National Association of Social Workers-SC Chapter. Together, we can foster change and empowerment in mental health.
Holly Lewis
I believe that mental health is achieved through addressing all areas of each unique individual, including mind, body, and spirit. My specialty is medication management for a variety of mental health needs, across the lifespan. I recognize that there are many factors that contribute to the decision to treat with medicine. I want everyone I partner with to receive the tools they need to make a comfortable and informed choice. This approach involves time spent educating on options, potential side effects, and anticipated benefits of medication. In our sessions, we will also talk about non-medicinal options that will support your care and provide relief. I believe each person is uniquely created, and deserves care that reflects one’s own individual qualities. Our initial appointment will be one hour in length, giving us time to get acquainted, and time to explore your symptoms, concerns, and treatment options. I offer 30-minute follow up appointments and 15-minute follow up appointments thereafter, depending on your needs. Your treatment plan will be customized to fit your needs and goals. I appreciate the opportunity to partner with you to achieve your healthiest self! Additionally she was trained as a student and post graduate by Dr. DuBose and works closely with him when she cares for her clients. My background includes 20 years of care as a registered nurse, primarily in the intensive care unit. I enjoy being outdoors, and love spending time with my husband, our 3 children, and our bulldog.
