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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to supporting adult women through life’s challenges with a compassionate, empowering, and trauma-informed approach.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rock Hill, SC


You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi there, I am Georgina. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 40 years in healthcare overall. My career has taken me through nephrology, home health, and nurse education, and each chapter has deepened my respect for the whole person behind every diagnosis. I am known for warm, holistic care that honors your body, mind, and spirit.

Outside of work I love to give back through volunteering and service, and while my faith is an important part of who I am, I never push it and only bring it into our work together if you ask.

You may be used to being the strong one—the person others rely on—but lately you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself. You may be dealing with depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition that’s left you feeling stuck. If you’re tired of just getting through the day and want to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help. I work with adults across all life stages who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and major life changes.
