CURRENT CLIENTS
We are now in-network with Aetna & Cigna, plus BCBS insurances!
We believe you deserve specialized care. We work with adults, couples, teens, and children 5+ feeling stuck in patterns that are no longer serving them. This often shows up as anxiety, worry, panic, depression, self-criticism, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, indecisiveness, perinatal concerns, and major life stress. We are an inclusive and LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. We accept BCBS, Aetna, and Cigna insurances, with self pay and reduced rate options.
Located in historic downtown Pendleton, South Carolina, less three miles from Clemson University, we've created a soothing environment and a scheduling system that never keeps you waiting long. By combining strong evidence-based techniques with a creative, personalized approach, we give our clients the best care in the Upstate.
