Okay, let's see. I need to determine Kristen Groos's hourly rate based on her profile. She's a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience. She has a Master's in Clinical Psychology and owns her own counseling center.

First, I should consider her education. A Master's is standard for licensed counselors, so that's a baseline. Her experience is over 10 years, which is significant. She's been running her own practice since 2021, which adds management experience.

Location matters too. She's in Charleston, SC. Cost of living there is moderate compared to big cities, but still, experienced professionals can charge more. Private practice rates vary. I know that in some areas, therapists charge between $100-$200 per hour. Since she's specialized in Psychodynamic Therapy, which is a specific approach, that might allow her to charge a premium.

Looking at her roles: she's been a counselor in various settings, including owning two practices. Her current role as Owner & Licensed Professional Counselor at Connections Counseling Center suggests she's established. Private practitioners with her experience might be on the higher end of the range. Maybe around $150-$200 per hour. But I should check average rates in South Carolina.

Quick research: According to some sources, the average for licensed counselors in SC is around $80-$150. However, those with over 10 years and owning a practice might charge more. Since she's the owner, her rate could be higher than average. Maybe $150-$180. Considering her specialization and experience, I'll estimate towards the higher end. Let's say $160 to $180. Maybe split the difference at $170. But some might go higher. Alternatively, if she's in a more affluent part of Charleston, maybe up to $200. Hmm. I think $150-$180 is reasonable. Let's go with $175 as a median.
