Our shared aspiration is to find happiness and freedom from suffering. Life often leads us astray from our envisioned path, leaving us uncertain about what our ideal existence entails. At times, overpowering emotions like fear, anger, sadness, or shame dictate our actions and choices, causing us to lose sight of our authentic selves. Yet, within this pain lies the potential for profound transformation, as we discover awareness, insight, compassion and hope. Through the therapeutic process, we will embark on a journey to explore your unique experiences, unearth your truth, and initiate the healing of both past and present wounds.

Therapy starts with a simple conversation and me seeking to learn your unique perspective, needs, and goals. You may or may not know exactly what your are looking for.

Trauma, divorce, life transitions, co-parenting issues. You may be experiencing sleep issues, emotional numbness, lack of interest in activities, and lack of energy. Many times there is also guilt associated with any one of these occurrences. With the correct treatment, you don't have to feel this way any longer.

Much of my social work experience has been in the hospital setting, working with high acuity clients who exhibit suicidal ideation and are at risk of hurting themselves. I recognize the hardest step is often deciding to schedule an initial appointment with a therapist. My focus is working with children, adolescents, and young adults ranging from 10 to 25 years of age (though I also enjoy working with adults) who experience depression, suicidal ideation, self-harming behavior, anxiety, and trauma-related issues. My goal for clients is to seek connection and foster curiosity to reduce disconnection and isolation.

Have you or your child tried traditional talk therapy but found the approach didn't quite hit home? Sometimes we have to take a more creative approach to life's challenges. Maybe you or your child are experiencing anxiety, going through a life change, experiencing loss, or difficulties at school or work. You are looking for a new approach and way to gain insight into life's problems, or support for your child as they navigate experiences through their own lens. Perhaps you have a strong connection with animals, and understand how they positively affect your life. If so, you have come to the right place!

As a military spouse, I have a passion for working with military members and their families.

I have sliding scale fees in an effort to make therapy affordable for everyone.

Life is full of inevitable difficulties, and how you approach them matters. In sessions, I work to provide a supportive environment where you can feel safe to untangle your thoughts and feelings.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Do you ever think to yourself, "What's wrong with me?" or "How come I cannot snap out of it?" Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with you and you simply cannot snap out of it. There are a lot of social stigmas when we have emotional struggles; we internalize these beliefs. Sometimes, we resist seeking treatment because it can be seen as a weakness because of underlying trauma or experience. This worsens over time whether you are depressed, anxious, fearful, frustrated, resentful, or angry. I believe many of us want to have understanding, support, empathy, and new coping methods.

You were made to be free. Often we get weighed down by everything that happens in life; it can hold us back, push us to burnout, and keep us from living up to our potential. You do not have to be held back by the stresses of the past, the present, or the future. If you are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or sexual addictions, I'm here to help. I've had the privilege of helping individuals and couples overcome and find freedom for the last 7 years. I specialize in working with teens, adults, couples, the elderly, and trauma survivors. Wherever your life is taking you, let's step forward in freedom

Hello! My name is Meredith Kucyk. Thank you for your consideration as you explore the possibility of engaging in therapy. I provide individual therapy services where I work alongside clients to empower and support them as they pursue their goals and active change in their lives. I seek to provide a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients can explore the depths of who they are and the world in which they live.

I believe the role of a therapist is to create the environment and container clients need to thrive and access their healthiest selves. Effective psychotherapy is about learning the skills needed to facilitate your own personal growth. Psychotherapy, especially psychotherapy focused on trauma, can sometimes be difficult, painful work that requires both courage and compassion. I am continually amazed by my clients' strength and resiliency in the face of difficult stressors. My role is to help clients develop self-compassion and meaning in a world that can often cause suffering.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and/or feelings of overwhelm? Are you looking for increased happiness and hope in your life? Are you new to therapy or tired of traditional therapy that is problem focused and looking for something new? I utilize a unique combination of solution focused therapy, biofeedback and integrative medicine practices to effectively address the mind, emotion and body to create a whole person approach to mental health and well-being. I also offer rabbit assisted therapy upon request to enhance the therapeutic process.

It is my passion to partner with people as they share their story. My hope is to offer compassionate and perceptive support to my clients. Seeking support takes courage and having support through challenges or traumatic experiences provides perspective, encouragement and hope that can have a remarkable impact on how you overcome those experiences. Life is a journey and it is my goal to equip and inspire with an infusion of hope to heal the pain and wounds of life.
