Counseling Practice – North Augusta Counseling Services, LLC
North Augusta Counseling Services, LLC is a mental health counseling practice based in North Augusta providing services exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. The practice does not offer counseling to children or adolescents. At the time of the website’s current published content, the practice is not accepting new clients.
Services available include individual counseling and EMDR therapy. A stated area of specialized clinical focus is grief and loss. The practice describes the therapeutic environment as safe and relaxed, aimed at helping clients cope with and move through life’s challenges while reinforcing their sense of purpose and personal direction.
The session structure at North Augusta Counseling Services begins with an initial extended 2-hour assessment appointment, which is priced at $175. This extended first session allows for a thorough clinical intake before treatment begins. Standard follow-up sessions are conducted at 1-hour intervals and billed at $150 per session. A separate pricing structure applies to court-ordered anger management clients, who attend sessions at $100 per week across a 6-to-8-week period, without the extended initial assessment requirement. Virtual sessions are available once a client has completed an initial in-person consultation at the office.
The practice does not employ medical prescribers and provides no medication-related services of any kind. Insurance is not accepted as a payment method. The website explains that accepting insurance would require clients to formally waive certain confidentiality rights and receive a mental health diagnosis regardless of clinical appropriateness, a requirement the practice declines to impose on clients seeking care. North Augusta Counseling Services instead operates on a private-pay basis and maintains its own internal records policies as an additional layer of client privacy protection. This model allows the practice to prioritize confidentiality without the administrative and diagnostic constraints tied to insurance billing.
No specific clinician names, professional credentials, or license designations appear on the publicly accessible website content. No year of establishment is provided. Prospective clients can contact the practice through the website to inquire about future availability and the intake process when openings become available.
