Overthinking everything and still feeling like you’re not enough?

You’re running on caffeine and anxiety, trying to stay on top of everything while still feeling like you’re falling behind. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Real support is closer than you think.
Real Support.

Welcome to Southern Solace.
I’m Virginia.
I’ve dedicated my career to supporting young adults through one of the most exciting, overwhelming, and transformative seasons of life.
When I started Southern Solace in 2013, I imagined a space just for you where therapy feels approachable, meaningful, and comforting. A place where you can finally exhale, breathe, and know you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Everything about Southern Solace was created with you in mind, from the music we play in the waiting room, to the welcoming space we’ve designed. Each counselor on our team is hand-picked not only for their clinical expertise but for their warmth, energy, and ability to connect with clients in a real way.
Today, I’m proud of what Southern Solace has become: a trusted part of the Clemson community where thousands of clients have found peace, healing, and the tools to build a life they’re proud of. I’m honored by the trust so many have placed in us and I want you to know, when you’re ready, we’ll be here for you too.
Virginia, Founder & Clinical Director
since 2013
Therapists who really get it.
The most important part of therapy? The connection you have with your therapist. Research shows that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the biggest predictors of success in counseling. The relationship is everything!

Tired of pretending like everything’s fine?
The stress. The late-night overthinking. The pressure to keep up. You keep smiling, hustling, and holding it together for everyone else, but inside, you’re exhausted.
You don’t have to keep faking it. Therapy is where you get to drop the act and finally breathe and let someone in. You’ve been doing this alone long enough. We’re here when you’re ready.
Not a college student?
While we’re known for supporting Clemson students and the University, we proudly serve local adults and professionals across the Upstate. Whether managing career stress, relationships, or life changes, we're here to help you find balance, clarity, and confidence.
