Located in the foothills of beautiful Oconee County, SC, Foothills Counseling offers services for the whole family, or just one. Owner and director, Bentley Gambrell is educated in marriage and family therapy as well as commuity mental health and truly enjoys working with individuals or the whole family. Educated at East Tennessee State University, Bentley has worked in the field for 9 years ranging from working with adolesents as young as 6-year-old and their families to working with couples/families and individuals dealing with severe mental illness. Started in June of 2021, the goal of FCC is to bring more services and education for and about mental health and wellness to the golden corner of South Carolina.

FCC's goal is to provide a relaxed and comfortable environment for everyone. We know that therapy often can be hard and providing a relaxing and soft space can make the journey through therapy a bit easier. There is a play area with big windows for children, a cosy area for individual counseling (that most teens and young adults prefer) and a larger area for couples and families to be seen in a living room feel. Many people remark that they are nervous coming to counseling for the first time and it is our goal to quickly calm that fear and provide a comfortable and creative space for individuals to relax and begin the work of therapy.
