Therapy is meant to be a place where anyone can feel safe and understood. With all of the major stressors that kids are facing in this current age, it can be a game-changer for a child to have a place where they feel accepted and supported. I became a therapist not to pathologize or diagnose children, but to become another safe adult in their support system who guides them to their goals and cheers them on from the sidelines. I specialize in helping children and teens ages 3–17 navigate through emotional challenges, stressful life transitions, and difficult developmental experiences through play therapy and a warm, supportive environment.

Life be lifing for us all, and pressures, -isms, relationships, and survival skills can pull us away from our birthright of joy, peace, and authenticity.

Caroline Myers

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I'm Brook Myers, LCMHC/LPC, and I own and operate Umberger Wellness Solutions, a telehealth practice serving clients in North Carolina and Texas. My approach to therapy is built around a simple belief: meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely supported, understood, and appropriately challenged—not when someone simply listens and sends you on your way. I work with children ages 6+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, learning challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Before moving into clinical mental health counseling, I spent eight years working in education and school counseling, which continues to shape my work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Therapy with me isn't one-size-fits-all. I adapt my approach to the person in front of me because what works for one client may not work for another. I believe you're the expert on your own life, while my role is to help you recognize patterns, develop practical skills, work through difficult experiences, and sometimes challenge you to look at things differently. The goal is for therapy to feel like something we're doing together—not something being done to you.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Aiken

Searching for therapists in Aiken starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches that need. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. If you are exploring couples counseling in Aiken, SC, or marriage counseling in Aiken, SC, look for therapists who list relationship work, family systems, or couples-specific training in their profiles. You can also review therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy to see what aligns with your goals.

Aiken is a smaller market, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and therapist specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across South Carolina while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Aiken can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first session. You can browse therapists in Aiken, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
