Trauma-Informed Therapy Services in South Carolina
Moon River Counseling was founded in 2013 by Britt Brackett, a licensed clinical social worker with specialized expertise in trauma recovery. Our practice focuses on helping adults navigate the complex impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression through personalized therapeutic approaches. Having worked as a forensic interviewer and therapist for child abuse survivors, I developed a unique framework for understanding trauma's long-term effects after experiencing my own life-altering traumatic event.This personal journey deepened my professional understanding of how survival mechanisms like hypervigilance and perfectionism can both protect and hinder individuals post-trauma. We specialize in repurposing these adaptive skills to create sustainable healing pathways tailored to each client's specific needs. Our telehealth services extend across South Carolina, providing accessible mental health support to adults seeking meaningful recovery from emotional distress.

Services
Individual Therapy
Personalized therapy sessions for adults aged 18+. Our approach identifies trauma sources and repurposes survival skills developed during traumatic experiences. Sessions address anxiety, depression, and PTSD through evidence-based techniques combined with lived experience insights. Clients learn to transform protective mechanisms into sustainable healing strategies.
Trauma Counseling
Specialized treatment for trauma survivors. We address both visible and invisible wounds through therapeutic frameworks that acknowledge trauma's complex impacts. Our method helps clients understand how survival adaptations can become burdens and develop new coping strategies. Sessions focus on reclaiming personal agency and rebuilding quality of life.
Anxiety Treatment
Targeted interventions for debilitating anxiety patterns. Our approach identifies underlying thought processes maintaining anxiety cycles while acknowledging anxiety's protective role. Clients learn to differentiate helpful awareness from paralyzing fear through trauma-informed techniques that build emotional regulation capacity.
Depression Therapy
Comprehensive support for individuals experiencing persistent depression. We address the invisible nature of depressive symptoms while validating clients' struggles. Therapy focuses on uncovering root causes, challenging negative self-perceptions, and developing practical strategies to reconnect with meaningful life activities and relationships.

Questions
What makes trauma therapy different from regular counseling?
Trauma therapy specifically addresses how traumatic experiences alter brain function and behavior. Our approach recognizes survival adaptations developed during trauma and helps transform them into tools for recovery.
How do I start therapy sessions?
Begin with a free phone consultation to discuss your needs and determine if we're a good fit. You can schedule this initial conversation through our contact form or by calling 912-244-2071.
Can therapy help if I don't want to discuss my trauma?
Yes. While trauma processing is important, we respect your readiness level. Our approach works at your pace, focusing initially on building safety and coping skills before addressing traumatic memories directly.
What if I'm too anxious for traditional therapy?
We understand therapy anxiety. Our approach normalizes these feelings and works gradually to build comfort. We'll start with what feels manageable while developing strategies to help you engage effectively in your healing process.
Do you offer virtual therapy options?
Yes. We provide secure telehealth sessions across South Carolina for clients who prefer remote access. Virtual therapy maintains the same personalized approach as in-person sessions with added flexibility.
