Intern Spotlight!!!!

Hi, I’m Maggie! I am currently in the advanced year of my Master of Social Work (MSW) program at the University of South Carolina and am completing my practicum at Advanced Practice Mental Health and Wellness. I have 12 years of experience working with children
and adolescents in a variety of settings and currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing ABA therapy to children with autism.

I enjoy helping children and adolescents recognize their strengths, build confidence, and develop skills to navigate emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges. I also love incorporating creativity into sessions to make therapy engaging while encouraging
self-expression and connection.

I am excited to announce that I am now accepting clients ages 16 and under! I look forward to connecting with new clients and creating a space where they can feel supported, grow in confidence, and develop tools they can carry with them as they grow.

Maggie is cash pay with a reduced fee of $50/session.

Intern spotlight!

Hi! My name is Mercedes Desilets, and I have the pleasure of completing my internship at Advanced Practice and Mental Health. I’m currently working towards my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) through Grand Canyon University. I’m originally from Fallston, Maryland, but have called Myrtle Beach my home for 13 years.
As a counselor, I focus on person centered approaches to promote overall wellbeing. I take pride in helping all individuals overcome life’s challenges to obtain physical, social and emotional balance through personalized planning. I specialize in working with children, but I am passionate about supporting clients of all ages and backgrounds.
In my free time I enjoy spending time at the beach with my family, running and exploring new places. Professionally, I have a background in special education with 11 years’ experience in the public-school setting. I enjoy working with kids and adults with a wide range of needs and from diverse backgrounds. Together we can empower minds, strengthen lives and build balance.

There is a reduced rate to see Mercedes of $50. Due to her being in her internship she does not accept any type of insurance.

If you would like to get scheduled with her please give us a call at 843-945-1452

⚠️🚌 BEFORE YOU START WORRYING ABOUT THAT BUS...

A few things HCS says parents should know:

⏰ Give the bus some wiggle room. Bus times may vary up to 15 minutes BEFORE or AFTER the scheduled time.

🎒 The first week may be rough! Afternoon buses can be delayed by up to 35 minutes during loading as everyone gets settled into the new school year.

📅 Haven't ridden in a while? If a student doesn't ride for more than two weeks, the stop may be removed. A new transportation request may be needed to get the stop reinstated.

🏠 Did you move? Make sure your child's school has your updated physical address.

📌 Bottom line: During the first few days, give those buses a little extra time. If something still doesn't seem right, use the Bus Office number above for your attendance area.

Looking for Recommendations! 💙

I’m looking for professionals who specialize in working with children with ADHD and other neurodivergent children in two specific areas:

🧩 Pediatric Occupational Therapist — preferably someone who specializes in movement, sensory regulation, body awareness, motor planning, and helping children use movement to improve focus, regulation, and daily functioning.

🥗 Pediatric Nutritionist or Registered Dietitian — someone experienced with ADHD and neurodivergent children, including selective eating, sensory-related food challenges, nutritional deficiencies, and creating realistic, family-friendly nutrition plans.

I’m especially interested in providers who truly understand neurodivergent children and take a supportive, individualized, and child-centered approach.

If you know someone you highly recommend, please tag them below or send me their contact information. I’d love to connect with professionals who are passionate about helping these children thrive. ❤️

Please share!

Calm Kids, Confident Caregivers was created as a practical resource guide for parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals who are walking alongside children through big emotions, difficult behaviors, anxiety, frustration, and moments of overwhelm.

This work was inspired by my own journey with my son and the lessons I learned while trying to better understand what children need most when their emotions feel too big for them to manage alone. Through that experience, I became even more passionate about helping caregivers feel equipped, supported, and confident instead of unsure, overwhelmed, or alone.

The book offers simple, practical tools to help adults better understand what children may be communicating through behavior, how to respond with calm and connection, and how to help children build emotional regulation and coping skills over time.

Copies of Calm Kids, Confident Caregivers are available for purchase in the office, and it is also available on Amazon.

My hope is that this guide becomes a helpful resource for families and caregivers who want to support children with more understanding, patience, and confidence.
