General

About Our Practice

We offer a comprehensive range of mental health services including individual therapy, couples and marriage counseling, family therapy, teen and child therapy (ages 3+), psychiatric care and medication management, psychological testing (ADHD, autism, learning difficulties), school-based therapy, and virtual/telehealth sessions. Our goal is to provide everything you need under one roof.
We are a clinician-led practice, meaning clinical decisions are made by licensed therapists rather than administrators or investors. We offer comprehensive care under one roof (therapy, psychiatry, and testing), accept most major insurance plans, provide sliding-scale options for those who need them, and are deeply rooted in the South Carolina communities we serve. Our care coordination team ensures you are matched with the right provider from day one.
Yes! We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy sessions to clients anywhere in South Carolina. Telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video and are covered by most insurance plans just like in-person visits. This is a great option if you live in an area without a nearby office or simply prefer the convenience of therapy from home.
We have seven office locations across South Carolina: Mount Pleasant, Charleston (West Ashley), North Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and Rock Hill. We also offer statewide virtual therapy to clients anywhere in SC. Visit our Locations page for full addresses and hours.
Yes. All sessions and records are protected by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations. Your therapist will not share information about your treatment without your written consent, except in rare situations required by law (such as imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or suspected abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult). Your privacy is one of our highest priorities.
Yes, with your written permission, we are happy to collaborate with your child’s school, pediatrician, psychiatrist, or other healthcare providers. This team-based approach ensures everyone involved in your or your child’s care is on the same page and working toward the same goals.

Costs & Insurance

Billing & Coverage

Our self-pay rates for therapy sessions range from $125 to $160 per session, depending on the type of service (individual, couples, family, or child therapy). Psychiatric and medication management appointments range from $125 to $350 depending on whether it is an initial evaluation or a follow-up visit. If you use insurance, your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your plan’s copay, coinsurance, and deductible.
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Tricare, Medicare, Medicaid, Molina, Ambetter, CHAMPVA, and more. Visit our Insurance page for a full list. We also offer out-of-network superbills for plans we don’t directly accept.
Yes. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available for individuals who demonstrate financial need. Sliding-scale rates are offered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our office to discuss eligibility and current availability.

Payment is due at the time of your appointment. Once you are checked out, the card on file is charged for your copay. Copays, coinsurance, and deductible amounts are collected according to your insurance plan. Any remaining balance after your insurance processes the claim is your responsibility.

Payments can be made through the client portal, by phone with a credit or debit card, or in person at any of our locations. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.

Our billing team can assist with benefit verification. We also encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your mental health copay, deductible, coinsurance, and any authorization requirements.

Log into your client portal and select the Billing tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page to view your invoices, where each invoice includes an individual receipt. To generate a billing statement, select Generate Statement above your invoices and your statement will be created automatically.

Yes. Please contact our billing department or any of our administrators for assistance with setting up a payment plan.

Please contact our billing department or an administrator as soon as possible to discuss your account. We will review your situation and determine what options may be available, including whether you qualify for one of our sliding scale spots.

If there are more than two previous appointments with unpaid copays, future appointments may be canceled. Unpaid balances may eventually be referred to a collections agency. We would much rather work out a plan with you, so please reach out before it reaches that point.

If your insurance denies a claim, the balance is assigned as patient responsibility and you will be charged our self-pay rate for the services provided. Our self-pay rates are listed above.

Please upload a copy of your updated insurance ID card, front and back, through the client portal. You can also send a portal message or call our office to provide your updated insurance information.

Yes. Send us a message through the client portal, give us a call, or let the front desk administrator know during your appointment.

This can happen if your insurance information was entered incorrectly during intake, or if your plan is inactive or ineligible. Once your insurance information is verified and corrected, any necessary claim adjustments will be made.

Send us a message through the client portal, call our office, or notify the front desk administrator, and they will reach out to our billing department on your behalf.

Contact our office for assistance, or bring the card you would like to add to your next appointment and we will be happy to help.

Our Specialties

Psychological testing is a comprehensive assessment process used to diagnose conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and other neurodevelopmental or psychological conditions. Testing typically involves standardized measures, clinical interviews, and behavioral observations. Results provide a clear diagnosis and actionable recommendations for treatment, school accommodations, or workplace support.
Psychiatry involves the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions, often including medication. Our psychiatric providers (psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners) conduct thorough evaluations, prescribe and manage medications, and work collaboratively with your therapist to ensure coordinated care. Follow-up appointments monitor your response to medication and make adjustments as needed.
Yes. We provide therapy for children ages 3 and up, as well as adolescents and teens. Our child and teen therapists use age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches to address anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, ADHD, autism, school difficulties, and more. We also offer family therapy to support the whole family system.
Yes. We offer evidence-based couples and marriage counseling to help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship. Our couples therapists are trained in approaches such as Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Absolutely. Anxiety, depression, and trauma are among the most common concerns we treat. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches. We will match you with a provider who specializes in your specific needs.
Yes. We have providers who specialize in working with healthcare workers, first responders, and other high-stress professionals. We understand the unique challenges of these roles, including burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and work-life balance. Our therapists provide a confidential, supportive space to process these experiences.
We serve clients ages 3 through adulthood, including children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families. Our providers are experienced in working with a wide range of age groups and developmental stages.
Getting Started

Your First Steps

Your first session is typically an intake assessment. Your therapist will ask about your background, current concerns, goals, and relevant history. It is a relaxed, confidential conversation designed to help your provider understand your needs and begin developing a personalized treatment plan. There is no pressure to share anything you are not comfortable with. You can learn more on our First Appointment page.
When you contact us, our care coordination team will gather some basic information about your needs, insurance, and preferences. We then match you with a provider who is the best fit for you. Before your first session, you will complete intake paperwork (available online). Your first appointment will be a comprehensive assessment, after which your provider will discuss a recommended treatment plan with you.
You don’t need to know before you start. During your initial session, your therapist will assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate therapeutic approach. We use a variety of evidence-based modalities (CBT, EMDR, DBT, play therapy, family systems, and more) and will tailor treatment to what works best for you.
You can schedule online using our appointment scheduler, or call us at (843) 793-2104. Our referral and care coordination team will help match you with the right provider based on your needs, insurance, location, and scheduling preferences.
We do our best to get new clients seen as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can schedule your first appointment within one week of your initial contact. Availability varies by location and provider, so we encourage you to reach out early.
Appointments & Scheduling

Managing Your Care

We require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee. We understand that life happens, so please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes to your appointment.
Yes. Many of our providers offer evening appointments, and our offices are open on Saturdays from 9 AM to 5 PM. We understand that finding time for therapy can be challenging, and we work to accommodate a variety of schedules.

If you feel that your current provider isn’t the right fit, simply let our team know and we will help you transition to another therapist within our practice. There is no penalty or awkwardness involved.
