Aiken County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there. Telehealth lets Aiken residents see a provider without waiting for a local opening.
How Counseling Works
Our licensed therapists provide individual counseling by secure video for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and life changes.
Counseling uses evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions are scheduled regularly, often weekly at first, and you set the goals together with your therapist.
When medication is also part of your care, your therapist and psychiatric provider work together so your plan stays coordinated.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
