After retiring from the Army, I went back to school to obtain my masters of Social Work to help others who suffer from trauma and depression. My biggest inspiration for wanting to help others is the help that I have received along the way. It was after seeing my therapist who helped to guide me through gender, dysphoria, and my transition, that I begin my path that has led me here, wanting to help others. My guiding philosophy is that you deserve to treat yourself as good if not better than anyone else. When you feel good, others will feel good too.

Tanya Shepherd

Tanya Shepherd

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. My professional background includes individual therapy, executive functioning, relationship concerns, anxiety, life transitions, and multicultural counseling. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in helping people who feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or stuck reconnect with themselves and move forward with intention.

Outside of therapy, I'm an entrepreneur, recording artist, and lifelong learner who enjoys cooking, staying active, dancing to Zumba and Afrobeats, listening to jazz and old-school R&B, and spending time with family and close friends. Those experiences remind me that life is about more than getting through the day. It's about creating a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and aligned with who you are.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Myrtle Beach, SC

Searching for therapists in Myrtle Beach starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter to you. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific populations can help you decide who may be a strong match.

Myrtle Beach has therapy options across the city and nearby areas like Socastee and Briarcliffe, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or prefer to meet with a South Carolina-licensed therapist from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Myrtle Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Myrtle Beach, review bios, and book directly when you’re 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.
