Empower Counseling

Hi! I’m Meredith. I'm a licensed professional counselor, and I’ve been in the counseling and educational fields for 25+ years and helping people feel better and achieve their goals. I've been described as approachable, caring, and possessing a knack for making people feel comfortable especially those new to counseling. My primary training has been in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Practice, however, my fundamental approach to therapy is collaborative and inclusive. I use a variety of techniques and methods in working with my clients. In addition to those approaches, I’ll also use current research and understanding of what we know from neuroscience, positive psychology, healthy self care and how the practice of self-compassion can help you. Experience counts Throughout the years, I've worked with college age students, adults, families and groups. This diversity of experience, as well as my own, has led me to a deeper understanding of the ways we develop, react and respond to each other, and life's ups and downs. All of that goodness is used to help create a plan targeted to your unique and personal experience. Effective and convenient I am invested in helping you reach your goals and have experience in brief solution focused counseling. Meeting every two-three weeks, 50 minutes, for 10 sessions helps you experience results. However I am flexible and want to pick the best schedule that works for you, including longer term therapy. I can offer virtual HIPAA compliant sessions or in person in my private & cozy office located in Thornton, CO. You take the lead Our session conversations are driven by what you feel is most pressing. Whether it is in terms of a current situation, unresolved feelings from the past, confusing relationships you want help with, unrelenting thoughts that won’t let go, working towards your overall life goals, or anything else in between. And I’ll follow... I’ll have my questions I want to ask, connections I think are helpful to make and skills I want to suggest. I view our work as a partnership and because time is precious, I want to make our time count! Next steps Unsure about therapy? Wanting to connect first before making the commitment? Let's set up a complimentary brief phone conversation or HIPAA compliant video chat to answer any of the questions you may have and make sure it's the best fit. J I look forward to working with you!
