I’m honored to share that I’ve been appointed to the Board of the South Carolina Clinical Mental Health Counselors Association beginning January 2026.

I’m looking forward to contributing to the mission of supporting clinical mental health counselors across our state, advancing ethical practice, continuing to advocate for legislation change and strengthening our professional community.

Thank you to the board and members for the trust and opportunity to serve. I’m grateful and excited for what’s ahead!

The Holidays are hard for so many and often times we can find ourselves feeling guilty for the feelings we have around this time. Just here to remind you that whatever feeling the holidays bring up for you is okay. You can grieve what is no longer or what’s missing, while also letting your heart fill with peace and expectation. Let yourself experience them all, but let go of the guilt for having them ❤️

Our favorite activity in therapy… identifying our emotions!

It’s hard to manage and cope with our feelings if we don’t first know what we’re feeling. Using charts, images and fun tools like this pillow help teach children (& adults!) how to identify and describe what they’re feeling.

Looking for a parenting philosophy that balances compassion and accountability? We will explore what keeps us stuck in parenting patterns we’re trying to kick, as well as why kids misbehave. You’ll learn practical tools for dealing with misbehavior, and a strategy for discipline that goes deeper than behavior modification.

Join us October 6th at 6pm for a Parenting Workshop led by our Parent Coach and Counselor, Julia! Register using the QR code or via our website www.theoakscounselinggroup.com

We can’t wait to learn with you!

Hopping on this trend because it’s the cutest!! Happy Monday everyone!

Just a reminder as we gear up to head back to school in a month, now is the perfect time to reach out and schedule for therapy. It’s much easier to establish routine sessions now than in the midst of the school year. We look forward to seeing you! ✨

Finding the right therapist can be hard! Doing a little research can go a long way. Think through what it is you’re looking for in a therapist, what your goals are and any specialties you may be interested in (play therapy, EMDR, holistic). Credentials are important, this ensures your therapist has gone through proper education and training, has met and will continue to be held accountable to specific standards. With these in mind, it will help you narrow down your search. Call a few different people to get a feel for their style and personality, then book a session!

I always tell clients in our first session that it’s going to feel a little awkward at first and that’s okay. Giving it a few sessions can help you determine if it’s the right fit. And if not, that’s okay! Let them know you’re not connecting and ask for referrals. They can help connect you with someone who might be a better match. Your mental health matters 💚
