I most enjoy working with adults on a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, disordered eating and body image, and perfectionist tendencies. My ideal client is someone who is ready to get to work and motivated to change. They also might describe themselves as a people pleaser or a person who cares for others before caring for themselves.

Hello, my name is Ginger Van Meter. I look at each individual as an iceberg! There's a tiny piece of ice you can see on the surface but down below and much deeper is a giant piece of ice that no one can see. That giant piece of ice represents all the stressors, emotional and mental health concerns that go back many years. Sometimes childhood trauma or even current events can create problems that we just can't seem to solve. I will help you to break that ice down and possibly even melt the ice. I always strive to do the best I can do to provide relief and comfort and help life become more manageable.

It's your friendly neighborhood mental health therapist (with a side of sarcasm and a dash of humor). Think of me as the person who shows up in jeans instead of the usual stuffy attire—because who says we can’t talk about your deepest thoughts while wearing a favorite “this is how I feel today” outfit? I’m here to genuinely listen and understand you, even if you feel like you’re living in a world of colorful (or dark) thoughts while others are stuck inside the proverbial box. I’m all about creating a space where you can express your stuff YOUR way.

Life is hard, and it does not come with instructions. Many of us find ourselves wrestling with the same problems day after day, year after year: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, grief, anger, or the sense of just going through the motions of life. My ideal clients want more than symptom relief or inspirational posts. They want honest self-examination, deeper understanding, and a more vibrant life. I work with individuals and couples who want to engage life more fully, work through stubborn personal obstacles, improve relationships and move from surviving toward fully living.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
