April is Autism Awareness Month. At Selah Center of Hope, we recognize autism not as a limitation, but as a unique set of strengths. We honor and celebrate the incredible abilities, perspectives, and “superpowers” our clients bring into the world every day.

I love how Brené Brown describes belonging. This is at the core of Selah Center of Hope.

Today feels like a milestone we want to pause and honor. We are grateful to share that we're now participating providers with South Carolina Medicaid, Select Health/First Choice Medicaid, and Aetna.

All the long hours, paperwork, waiting, and faith in the process were worth it. Our practice continues to grow, and we are now able to serve even more children, adolescents, and young adults impacted by DSS involvement, foster care, kinship care, and adoption.

We are building a safe place of belonging for families who often struggle to find providers who understand their stories. Because of that growth, we are also looking to bring on one or two associates who feel called to this work and want to be part of a mission-driven team.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and prayed along the way. This is only the beginning 🤍

Brixx the Therapy Dog – Purpose

Brixx’s purpose is to create safety before words are ever needed. He helps lower anxiety, soften defenses, and bring regulation into spaces where emotions feel big or overwhelming. Through his calm presence, gentle engagement, and steady companionship, Brixx supports emotional regulation, grounding, and connection, especially for children, teens, and adults impacted by trauma, neurodiversity, grief, or stress. He often becomes the bridge to trust, making therapeutic work feel less intimidating and more relational. Brixx reminds clients that they are not alone, that comfort can exist alongside hard things, and that healing can begin with simply feeling safe. 🐾
