Tired of feeling stuck or repeating the same patterns without understanding why you can’t seem to break free? Influences from a previous or current relationship may take away the ability to trust yourself or your partner. It may feel like you’re constantly playing tug of war on the inside or in constant fight or flight mode. Let me help you create the relationship you want that is healthy and long lasting. Let’s develop the skills that will help you get to the root of the problem.
Every relationship has conflict. It's how you handle that conflict that matters. You are not alone in this and it won’t always feel this way.

I am accepting new clients. Enter your information and I will reach out to you directly to set your appointment. Appointments are available face-to-face and telehealth on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and can be typically scheduled within 2 weeks of request. You are feeling like you have lost control over your life. You look around and it seems like all your choices are being made for you and when you try to go after what you want, you feel defeated before you can even take the first step. It does not have to be this way. In my role as a therapist, I believe it is my job to clear the fog that clouds the path that you want to be.

Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

Are you often on edge—angry, irritable, or withdrawn from the people you love most? Do you feel disconnected in your marriage, like roommates instead of partners, or carry the weight of being blamed for everything that’s wrong? Maybe you’ve cried out to God for help, but nothing seems to change—and now, even He feels distant. You’re exhausted, discouraged, and wondering if this is really all life has to offer

Hi I'm, Meghan Balliett, and I bring a wealth of experience to my practice, having earned my Bachelor's in Family and Child Sciences and Master's in Social Work from Florida State University.
I combine traditional talk therapy with interactions with horses to promote healing, personal growth, and emotional well-being. This therapeutic approach uses the natural behavior of horses to mirror and reflect the emotions, actions, and thought patterns of the individual.
