We were not happy with our therapist

We were not happy with our therapist, Scott. Besides cutting our extremely expensive session short, he showed an unusual interest in my and my husband's sex life. We both thought this was strange, so I asked a therapist friend whether or not the number and depth of his questions were protocol and she assured me they were not. We will not be returning.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Due to HIPAA privacy laws, we cannot confirm or deny whether the reviewer is or has been a client of Palmetto Counseling, LLC.

In relationship therapy, clinicians may explore a variety of topics — including intimacy and sexual concerns — when clinically relevant to the goals of treatment. These conversations are always intended to be handled with professionalism, sensitivity, and clear therapeutic purpose.

That said, feeling uncomfortable in session is important feedback, and we take concerns about boundaries and session experience very seriously. Session length and structure should also be clearly communicated.

Because confidentiality prevents us from discussing specifics publicly, I invite you to contact me directly so I can better understand your concerns and address them appropriately. I regret that your experience did not meet expectations. I would welcome the opportunity to learn more and address your concerns directly.

Please feel free to reach out to me at (803) 329-9639 or rschlauch@pccrh.com. We value your feedback and remain dedicated to continuously improving the care we provide.

Sincerely,
Rich Schlauch, MSW, LISW-CP

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.

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 rschlauch@pccrh.com. We value your feedback and remain dedicated to continuously improving the care we provide.

Okay

It was okay. The building is older and they should make payment plans available instead of making a payment upfront for appointments.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate you giving our practice a try. Due to HIPAA privacy laws, we cannot confirm or deny whether the reviewer is or has been a client of Palmetto Counseling, LLC.

While our building is an older property, we strive to provide a welcoming, safe, and comfortable environment for every client who walks through our doors. We understand that payment policies can also feel challenging, and we aim to be transparent about fees and payments at the time services are scheduled to avoid confusion later.

We do require payment at the time of service, which helps us keep appointments available and maintain consistency in care. However, we’re always happy to discuss questions about billing or insurance prior to scheduling so clients can make informed decisions.

At Palmetto, we are committed to providing quality care and support to all clients, and I regret that your experience did not meet expectations. I would welcome the opportunity to learn more and address your concerns directly.

Please feel free to reach out to me at (803) 329-9639 or rschlauch@pccrh.com. We value your feedback and remain dedicated to continuously improving the care we provide.

Second options

I have not been feeling well and was pleased that the option of a Telehealth visit was available! I prefer an in office visit but having a second option is great. Rich is a great counselor, easy to talk with and he listens!

No judgement

I immediately felt comfortable opening up to my therapist. It was our 1st meeting and she did not make me feel weird about anything I was telling her there was no judgement. She also was on time and did not rush me out of her office 15 mins before time like therapist have done in the past the whole session was an actual hour instead of 45 mins.
