We have also started to offer life coaching services nation wide. As 2025 continues on we are looking forward to expanding our mental health counseling services to other states via telehealth, check back in with updates! Not sure about telehealth, want to see what it's like? A free 15-20 minute video consultation may help you determine if telehealth is an option for you. Telehealth can be different, new, make a person a little anxious, but it can also be extremely helpful as sessions are very similar to a face to face session. If you are not sure, we encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation and we can help you figure out if telehealth is right for you! _______________________________________________________________________________________ Meet the Owners and Team: Owners Chad and Bethany Tschappat work together to help meet the mental health needs of SC residents, both civilian and military populations.
