Legal Question in Business Law in South Carolina

I unfortunately signed a contract with my employer that I would not provide my services (behavior therapy) in the county I live (the county I moved 500 miles from home for this job) for one year after termination of employment. Are there any loop holes? I am in a very small, specialized field of psychology and work with children with Autism. I am moving in 4 months but need to be able to work. Here's a catch- I live and provide services in SC but my employer is based in FL and my contract says "under FL Stat...."

So I promise not to charge an outrageous fee for reviewing your contact.
