Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, or life's unexpected

challenges begin to affect your peace of mind. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted,

constantly overthinking, or simply trying to make it through each day, you don't have to face those

struggles alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I believe therapy should be a place where you feel

genuinely heard, understood, and accepted—without judgment. My goal is to create a safe,

supportive environment where you can be yourself, process difficult experiences, and discover

practical tools that help you move forward with confidence.

I work with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD,

ADHD, grief and loss, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Every

client is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than

taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Sam Solomon

Sam Solomon

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I'm Sam — I work with teens and adults navigating some of life's harder chapters. I've had the chance to work with people carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship stress, and the kind of slow-burn exhaustion that builds when life isn't matching the life you imagined. What matters most to me is that you feel like yourself in the room (or on the screen) — not performing okayness, not bracing for judgment. I'm newer to the field, which means my training is current and evidence-based, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to this work rather than going through the motions. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it. Sessions are available virtually across South Carolina.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life.

Denielle Nesbitt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Camden, SC


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

Rebecca Hackett

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi! My name is Rebecca and I come to you as a SC Licensed Professional Counselor having 20 + years experience. I have worked with a wide variety of disorders as well as individuals who just need support through a difficult season of life. As you are seeking counseling, are you interested in functioning better with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, hurt, anger, and stress in your life? Do you have unresolved childhood or past adult experiences that affect you still today? Have you tried talking to counselors in the past without much improvement? Have you found talk therapy produced few results?? I take the approach of dealing with root not just the fruit to address issues. Do not be afraid nor discouraged; there is hope! Whether you experienced such things as a chaotic childhood, invalidating, abusive, toxic, manipulative relationships, and/or PTSD, there are ways to obtain closure. I find helping others with these challenges to be my passion! With research-proven treatment modalities we can process to develop skills and insight that will aid you in moving forward to healthier relationships and day to day life contentment. I commend you for the courage and vulnerability to seek counseling as this is not easy. I look forward to partnering with you in a relationship that includes an ongoing dialog of how we are doing and adjustments as your needs change. I look forward to helping you!

I accept the following insurances only: Aetna, Cigna, United, Oxford/Optum, Quest, and Carelon Behavioral. However, I do NOT accept EAP nor Medicare.
