Therapists in Saint Johns, MI

Everyone deserves to pursue happiness, unfortunately barriers are presented in our lives that make that pursuit difficult to achieve. My goal for therapy will be to collaborate with clients to achieve that higher quality of life they deserve. Clients can look forward to working with me in a safe and judgement free space that allows them to express themselves fully. I help clients manage their mental health needs and work through those barriers to pursue happiness. I accept all clients and have a passion for first responders, veterans, and family. I use my training, education, and experience to meet their unique mental health needs.

If you are like me, the step of reaching out to someone when you're struggling is the hardest part. I do my best to offer a welcoming environment to all people. I have training in helping people who have experienced trauma or stress in their life, teaching skills to help clients feel more in control of their emotions, and guiding people to learn what coping skills they can use to get through more difficult times in their life! I know that each person is unique, so my treatment approach is different for each individual.

I believe that clients know themselves the best and I'm here to guide them to reach their fullest potential.

Oh the healing power of therapy! I feel passionate that everyone has a unique life story, and that some of life's chapters deserve a closer look to bring about improved coping, healing, and positive change. My approach is eclectic and trauma informed. I draw upon reality theory and the study of behaviors and neurocognitive development. I use CBT, mindfulness, and other practices as appropriate. The goals of therapy and the techniques used are based on each client's individual needs. I am proud to be working with community agencies, corrections and families for over 15 years.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, attention problems or relationship issues? Do you wish you had some additional support, coping skills or strategies? I help my clients let go of fears, establish strong boundaries, and create healthier more fulfilling relationships. I assist my clients in developing more self-awareness, self-confidence, and emotional connection to themselves and others. You deserve to be happy in your journey through life and develop meaningful relationships. Feel free to call or email me and we can determine if I would be a good fit for you and your needs.

Everyone deserves a sense of control over their lives. When terrible things happen it can feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. The world feels unsafe. Feelings of deep sadness, fear, shame and a rawness seem to linger. Many people feel as though they are damaged goods and wonder if they will ever be themselves again, or if they will ever be happy again. Imagine what it will be like when you have more good days then bad, when you feel the laughter, when you hear your child start to sing again. In a relaxed, safe environment you will receive support, encouragement, and the skills you need to thrive not just survive.

I believe that everyone desires to live their best life. We all share the desire to be happy and content. I believe that the therapeutic process is collaborative and interactive. The process should also be relaxing and enjoyable...even when tackling difficult topics. I would like to help you to achieve whatever goals you have for yourself and help you to overcome the obstacles that are standing in your way. These obstacles can be depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, PTSD, and substance abuse... just to name a few. Let me help you work through those.

Accepting New Clients! Immediate openings once your paperwork is completed! It takes a lot of strength and courage to seek out therapy. I want to welcome you to online therapy. My name is Maggie Meister (she/her/hers). I enjoy helping others by creating a safe space, building a therapeutic relationship, listening, understanding, and allowing you to unpack your emotions. As a clinician, I use evidence-based/informed practices to achieve the goals you have set. Our sessions will be from the comfort of your own home on a virtual platform where you can express your emotions and yourself without judgement.

Not accepting new clients: I gravitate to "working outside the box" with individuals, groups, couples, and families whose lives have been negatively impacted by trauma. I have focused on women and men who were physically, emotionally or sexually abused as children or individuals traumatized as adults. Treating veterans and/or active duty military personnel who have served in war zones is of special interest to me. I have seen first hand the difficulty so many of them have reintegrating into their families and into civilian life. I find a tremendous amount of fulfillment and joy walking with them on their journey back into life.
