Virtual therapy for Myrtle Beach families

Myrtle Beach is a resort economy city with a year-round population that lives and works in the gaps between tourist seasons. For families along the Grand Strand β€” in Conway, Surfside Beach, Socastee, and North Myrtle Beach β€” the postpartum period often arrives in a community that has limited mental health infrastructure for its year-round residents. The resources that exist are often directed at tourism or addiction services rather than perinatal mental health. The seasonal nature of the economy also means that financial stress is real for many families, making private therapy without insurance support feel out of reach. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to families throughout the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand area with sessions via secure video from home. We're in-network with Aetna, BCBS Anthem, Cigna, Molina, and Tricare plans in South Carolina β€” meaning insurance covers most of the cost for most families. Our therapists hold PMH-C certification and specialize in postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and the full range of perinatal challenges. You don't need to drive to Charleston or Columbia to get specialized care. Good therapy is available from wherever you are.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œMy emergency C-section left me with nightmares and panic attacks. I couldn't talk about the birth without shaking. Therapy helped me process the trauma and reclaim my story. I'm pregnant again now, and I actually feel ready.”

β€” expecting mom of 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œI had intrusive thoughts that terrified me. I was too ashamed to tell anyone, even my partner. My therapist explained postpartum OCD and helped me understand I wasn't dangerous. The intrusive thoughts are 90% gone now. I wish I'd reached out sooner.”

β€” mom of 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œAfter three failed IVF rounds, I was told to 'just stay positive.' My therapist was the first person who acknowledged the grief, the anger, and the exhaustion β€” and helped me process what I'd been through. I finally felt seen.”
