Let’s face it—these are challenging times for families. Between the pressures of work, school, the economy, and just life, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. Many parents are juggling more than ever, and even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can feel heavy on the inside. That’s where therapy can make a world of difference.
If you’ve been thinking about getting extra support for yourself or your family, Thornwell is doing incredible work right here in Myrtle Beach. They’re a nonprofit that believes therapy shouldn’t be something you wait for until things fall apart—it’s something that helps you stay strong and connected, no matter what life throws your way.
Thornwell’s Building Families Program is family therapy for anyone raising kids ages 3–17—no major crisis required. Parenting is hard, even on a good day, and this program exists to make it a little easier.
Whether you’re dealing with big emotions, behavioral struggles, or just trying to bring more peace to your home, the Building Families Program helps you find your footing again. Therapy can happen in your home in Myrtle Beach or virtually, making it flexible enough to fit real family life.

Families often work on:
- Anxiety, ADHD, and emotional regulation
- Parenting strategies that actually work
- Co-parenting and blended family challenges
- Grief, loss, or major life transitions
- Behavioral issues and communication struggles
- Support for foster, adoptive, or grandparent-led families
Sessions are interactive and personal, often including games, visuals, and hands-on activities to keep kids engaged and learning.
