Crescent Moon Counseling

Welcome to Crescent Moon Counseling!

Crescent Moon Counseling, LLC is an independently owned, private counseling practice that delivers effective, individualized counseling services based on the client's strengths, needs, abilities, and personal goals. We prioritize equity and inclusion for all people and are committed to integrating an Antiracist approach to make therapy an equitable and inclusive experience. Our client-centered services are guided by the following core values: Trust, Respect, and Professionalism.

At Crescent Moon Counseling, we believe in the power of change and growth. Our name reflects the idea that just as the moon goes through different stages, so do people. We strive to provide a safe, respectful, and professional environment for our clients, where they can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. We understand that seeking help is a big step, and we want to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Our services are primarily focused on adult individuals who are struggling with various forms of trauma including childhood trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, family trauma, women's issues, and other relational trauma. We also serve individuals living with anxiety and depression. Our approach is trauma-informed, and we believe that the most essential aspect of treatment is the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.

Our lead therapist, Kelly Herwig, is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and an Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ADC). She received both a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of South Carolina. Her experience includes working with adolescents, adults, groups, and families in the areas of addiction, mental health, trauma, disabilities, and career development.

At Crescent Moon Counseling, we accept Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance. Payment due by the client depends on insurance. The fees for services are as follows:

• Initial Intake and Assessment Session: $125
• Individual Session (55 minutes): $110
• Missed appointment fee (if not canceled 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment): $50

We believe in working collaboratively with other service providers and support systems for the client, so appropriate referrals are made as needed. We utilize an online client portal that allows you to log on and complete intake paperwork prior to your first session. Existing clients may access their portal at any time.
