That idea you have in your head about what therapy is and that picture of what a therapist is supposed to be-yeah THAT one-it isn’t like that here. If you've tried therapy before and HATED it, if you're ready to make moves in your life, ready to get real and own your shit, or if you need a safe space to dump with a REAL person that doesn’t give a shit what it is you did or think you did, let me introduce myself. I prefer to see adults but I will make exceptions for adolescents age 16 and over, provided they pass the vibe check. We do real talk here and nothing less-unadulterated authenticity and I will not cosign your bullshit.

It’s easy to overthink or become overwhelmed reading descriptions of therapists. Trust your gut and schedule a free consultation to guide you. I'm Meredith Jones and I have over a decade of clinical experience helping others with anxiety, relationship issues, substance use, trauma and grief. Unexpected changes or uncertainty around career, home life, or health can be isolating and create feelings of instability. If you need help connecting to your motivation for change, want to look at patterns no longer serving you well, desire to strengthen your coping skills or need help stilling your mind to live in the moment I've got you.

I enjoy working with adults and teens 15 years and older. My previous experience involves working with several populations in the community, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and clients with substance use diagnoses (including those with co-occurring mental health diagnoses). As a therapist, my ultimate goal is to create a safe space where everyone I see feels heard, seen, and accepted in order to facilitate real change through a collaborative approach.
