About

Life can be complicated, and there isn’t a handbook for managing issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and these challenges are opportunities for growth. You’re probably here because you feel it’s time to “do something different.” Let our team at Meridian Counseling guide you on this journey. We specialize in treating addictions, relationships, mood disorders, trauma, and helping clients like you find direction in life. Real change comes from understanding the root causes of your problems, connecting with your emotions, and learning new skills to navigate life’s ups and downs. Therapy should be a safe space where you can be vulnerable and dig deeper. That’s why our counseling approach is built on creating an authentic and empathetic relationship with you. We take a holistic approach towards your well-being, which can include aspects of attachment theory, Buddhist philosophy, EMDR, and inner-child healing during our sessions. Specialties: At Meridian Counseling, our team of skilled professionals brings expertise in a wide range of specialties to provide tailored and effective care for each client. Whether you're navigating personal, relational, or life challenges, we have providers with the experience and training to support you. Credentials & Experience: At Meridian Counseling, we are proud to have a diverse team of highly skilled professionals, including associate therapists, licensed therapists, psychologists, and nurse practitioners (NPs).
