CareSouth Carolina Welcomes Tabitha Hennagan to Full-Time Role at Latta Office

LATTA, S.C. — CareSouth Carolina is pleased to announce that Tabitha Hennagan, Ed.D., LPC, is now seeing patients full-time at the organization's Latta office, expanding access to behavioral health services for residents throughout Dillon County and the surrounding communities.

Hennagan joined the organization three and a half years ago as a School-Based Counselor, serving students at McColl Elementary Middle School, Blenheim Middle School of Discovery, and Bennettsville Primary School in Marlboro County.

A native of Latta, Hennagan said returning to serve her hometown community is especially meaningful.

"I am originally from Latta, so being able to come home and work with the community that has fostered my growth and development and to be able to give back to the community is a great honor," Hennagan said. "I am excited about helping people work toward reaching their goals and giving them the support that they need to surpass those goals."

Hennagan specializes in a patient-centered approach to care, emphasizing individualized treatment plans designed around each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals.

"I love working with patients to develop a care plan that fits their needs and growth potential versus placing everyone in the same structured mold," she said. "I believe that the more involved the person is in their treatment plan and direction, the better the possible outcome for the person's growth."

Hennagan believes in the Integrated Behavioral Health Services model at CareSouth Carolina.

"I am an advocate for Integrated Behavioral Health Services because of the availability for staffing things under one roof, quicker service turnaround for the patient, familiar treatment team participants, and the ability to brainstorm with care providers who are familiar with the patient," she said. "These positives grant better opportunities for quality patient care and better outcomes for treatment for the whole patient."

Behavioral health services play a vital role in supporting overall wellness, and CareSouth Carolina remains committed to ensuring patients have access to comprehensive care close to home. 

Outside of her work, Hennagan enjoys spending time with her family, reading, listening to music, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and cuisines.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in the Town of Latta and to be available to the surrounding cities to support our continued community growth and fostering of behavior and mental health coping strategies," she said
