Steeped in Southern culture and history, the town of Edgefield is located in Edgefield County, South Carolina. The quaint town with a population of less than 5,000 people is a charming place to visit with its many historic sites, farmer’s markets and events and festivals. It’s a town focused on family and community life.
Even with the support of a tight knit community, raising children and supporting a family can be hard work and it’s easy to forget about self-care when you’re always on the go. If life starts to feel overwhelming or you find yourself struggling with emotional and mental concerns it’s time to speak to a licensed therapist or professional for guidance and treatment options.

Sarah Myers
Sarah earned her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Georgia. She immediately pursued her Master of Social Work from The University of Alabama with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health. During her schooling, Sarah was chosen to participate in the prestigious Washington, DC Internship Program where she spent an entire semester working at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. Sarah’s upbringing to believe in the inherent worth of others was emboldened by her experience in DC. Her passion for advocacy, policy and reform, and service to underserved or disregarded populations took root. Since graduating and entering the field in 2006, Sarah has gathered broad social work experience. She has served foster children diagnosed with severe emotional and behavioral disorders, seniors in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, provided hospice and bereavement services, as well as general private practice. Extensive work in the hospital setting with transplant patients, pediatric patients, patients in severe medical crisis due to addiction or mental health illness, patients with chronic illness and victims of trauma has allowed Sarah to find significant interest in the correlation between one’s physical health and mental health. Sarah’s approach to counseling is eclectic and based upon a person’s individual need. She primarily draws upon strengths-based theory, systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused or brief therapy, and psychoeducation. As part of her treatment approach, Sarah believes in ‘meeting the client where they are’ as a starting point to help them maneuver through life’s transitions in a rewarding and meaningful way. Sarah is dedicated to improving the quality of life of those whom she serves.

Dr. Nancy Simpson
Hi there! I am Dr. Nancy Simpson, licensed clinical psychologist in South Carolina. Currently retired from a 30- year, rewarding teaching career at our local community college, I yearn to give back. Early in my career I was a practicing psychologist and worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings, performed neuropsychological assessments, and diagnosed & assessed mental illness. But, I found my bliss in academic psychology. Now it's time to return to my roots to help others. I am well trained, compassionate, and bring mutual respect and caring to therapy. When not teaching or mentoring, you can find me on my hobby farm, milking my goats, making cheese, tending my honey bees, spinning, weaving, working as a historic craft interpreter and generally enjoying life. If you think we'd be a fit on your journey of exploration and/or healing, I'd be delighted to work with you.
