Since I was a little girl, I have cared deeply about other people and their suffering. People have sensed that about me and have come to me with their suffering even before I became a therapist, so it came naturally to me to go into the field of social work. I am a very open human and know that each person's path to their potential is winding and different. I learn something from all of my clients and love to watch people find their inner potential and voice. I am someone who is constantly a student and love learning new things every day. I feel passionately about social justice and believe every voice matters.

Therapy Services for Emotional Health
Hello, I am
Meredith Mehner
I'm a licensed clinical social worker who offers services for individuals and couples looking to find more authenticity and less suffering in their lives.
I believe deeply in human resilience.
I also believe life can be rough. And sometimes we need a little extra help in those rough patches—a sounding board that will help us make sense of what we’re going through. I know for me a good therapist has revolutionized my life and helped me find a profound freedom that I wasn’t even aware I could have.
I don’t think we have enough avenues in modern living where we can sit down and talk about our inner worlds and tap into our deepest wisdom. We’re busy, tuned out, and always getting to the next thing. But I’ve found when we take the time to sit with each other and converse, the answers can come to us without a lot of "doing" or "hard work." Slowing down, being present, and connecting to our pain can lead to healing from even the most traumatic events.
I like to be a resource for people to have a safe space to discuss what's happening for them, whether that’s something that happened years ago and is now coming up, or something more recent. Healing is possible when we have a safe space, we trust each other, and we’re able to be honest with ourselves.
My Philosophy
The first step to changing is believing things can be different, or that there may be a better way. I believe in the human spirit and our ability to be resilient and heal. I know that it’s never too late and we’re never too old to change. Suffering is inevitable, but finding pathways out of that suffering is possible. Sometimes that’s hard to believe when we have only seen people live a certain way or come from families where certain behavior and beliefs have been our model. However, I believe there are always possibilities for a more fulfilled and connected inner and outer life.
I love meeting with clients and connecting on that deeper level and seeing people grow and change. I believe each person is unique and that the answer for people’s suffering is different for each individual. I believe you are the expert of your life and all I can do is ask the right questions to help you reach deep and find within your own answers.
I also am a big believer that you know what support you need at certain points in your life. My philosophy is that you decide how often you need services. The model I subscribe to is fluid, meaning you can decide the frequency of our conversations and for how long.
