Female Therapists in Myrtle Beach, SC

Does every day feel hard? Are you unhappy in your relationships? Did you think your life would look differently than it does now? We have been there. We get it. You don't have to do it alone. We can help. Brighter Horizons Counseling, LLC is a group practice comprised of three female clinical social workers, with experience ranging from 10-20 years. We are conveniently located in Carolina Forest but are also offering telehealth sessions to anyone in South Carolina. We work with children, families, couples and adults.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in EMDR and Functional Family Systems for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems.

Everyone keeps telling you how great motherhood is and how you should cherish these moments. But all you think is "when will the amazing feeling start?" People are constantly asking "how is the baby doing?" Yet no one has asked "how are you doing?" You are tired, overwhelmed, and feel under appreciated. The women you once saw when you looked in the mirror is no longer there. You feel hopeless, don’t know where you should turn to for help, and who would understand what you are going through.

I offer keen insight into your challenges and invite you to see yourself in new ways.

From firsthand experience, I understand how complex and abstract it can be to navigate identity, purpose, adversity, relationships, and trauma.

Looking for brief therapy to work through a specific issue that you've not been able to resolve on your own? EMDR therapy helps people process disturbing memories, thoughts, feelings that can greatly reduce therapy sessions to even just a few sessions in many cases. EMDR can reduce addiction cravings and the intensity of chronic pain and discomfort. It is used to help people lower their anxiety, process trauma and improve confidence. If short-term treatment that focuses on resolving negative thoughts and feelings is what you are looking for, contact me to schedule an appointment.

As a Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor, I believe that God is truly the Wonderful Counselor. He has developed a heart of compassion in me to come along side an individual during a time of emotional pain or confusion. I believe that the most effective way to bring healing and freedom into your life is to have Biblical truths as the foundation of the therapy process and create a supportive environment. We will explore a client's emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential.

Life is hard. Hope is found in facing the reality of your past and present. The goal of treatment that I strive for is for you to become all you were created to be; to be healed from the pain of the past, and move into the possibilities of the future. Whatever the past has thrown your way; whatever you are facing today; whatever future challenges are producing fear and anxiety, I would consider it a privilege to help you overcome your hurts, habits, and hang-ups. The past cannot be changed...the future is yet in your power. Don't let your past dictate who you are....Let it be part of who you will become.

Life can be messy, difficult and confusing. Sometimes we just need a safe place to talk. I would love the opportunity to listen and help untangle to messy parts of your life.
