Growth. Healing. Transformation.

Monarch Counseling empowers individuals across South Carolina to embrace change, find healing, and grow into the best version of themselves through compassionate and flexible mental health care.

Your Journey to Wholeness Starts Here

Even life’s most difficult challenges can be the beginning of meaningful change. Monarch Counseling was founded through a personal season of grief and inspired by the Monarch butterfly—a reminder of the resilience and hope within each of us.

You deserve care that’s rooted in connection, built on trust, and designed to support your growth and well-being. I invite you to schedule a no-cost consultation to begin developing a journey that is unique to you.

Hi, I’m Abbey— Owner of Monarch Counseling

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with experience in supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through a variety of life’s difficulties. Guided by empathy, I meet each person where they are — with respect, patience, and genuine care.

Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or simply a safe space to feel seen and heard, my goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical strategies, and navigate life with greater confidence and self-compassion.

I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Clemson University and an Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Carolina. More than my education, it’s my own journey of growth and transformation that fuels my passion for helping others find meaning, resilience, and connection in their own stories.

Compassionate.

Flexible.

Client-Centered.

No two people are the same—and your therapy shouldn’t be either. I take the time to listen, understand, and build a space that feels supportive and right for you. With flexible virtual sessions, my goal is to make therapy approachable, accessible, and empowering.

You’re not just another appointment on the calendar. Each session is personalized to meet you where you are—emotionally, mentally, and physically—so you can feel acknowledged, encouraged, and capable.

Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits

Although I am not in-network with insurance providers, I can provide a ‘superbill’ upon request for potential reimbursement. If you have a PPO or a plan that offers out-of-network benefits, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for your session costs.

Learn how it works…

  • While payment in full is due at the time of your session, I will provide you with a detailed receipt, known as a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider.

  • You can use the superbill to submit a claim to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

  • If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, your provider will reimburse you directly—typically through check or direct deposit.
