3 stars is not a reflection of the company, or my therapist! I am just getting into therapy for the first time, and I am nervous because I always here people talking about shopping around for therapists to find the right fit. I don't have a lot of money to be shopping around, but I really want to fix my issues. I guess I am just curious as a whole if this company has ways to review therapists, before hand... or I guess other testimonials, finding the right fit is weirdly the most daunting part of this for me.
Response from Palmetto Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC· Feb 11, 2026
Thank you so much for sharing this — and especially for being honest about how vulnerable it feels to start therapy for the first time. That nervousness is incredibly common, and finding the right fit can absolutely feel like the most daunting part of the process. Due to HIPAA privacy laws, we cannot confirm or deny whether the reviewer is or has been a client of Palmetto Counseling, LLC. We’re really glad to hear that your rating isn’t a reflection of your therapist or our team, and we deeply respect how intentional you’re being about your care. You’re right — “shopping around” isn’t financially realistic for everyone. That’s why we do our best to thoughtfully match clients with therapists based on their goals, preferences, and needs from the very beginning. We’re always happy to answer questions about our clinicians, their specialties, and their approaches before scheduling so you can feel more confident going in. If at any point you feel unsure about fit, we also encourage open conversations — either with your therapist or with our team — so we can help support you in finding the right path forward. Starting therapy takes courage. We’re honored you chose to begin that journey with us, and we’re here to help make the process feel as supportive and transparent as possible Please feel free to reach out to me at (803) 329-9639 or [email protected]. We value your feedback and remain dedicated to continuously improving the care we provide. Sincerely, Rich Schlauch, MSW, LISW-CP President / CEO
