Getting to know Meredith Hodges
As an empowered neurodivergent counselor, I am passionate about helping people; especially the silent sufferers. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have been practicing therapy in Kansas for over 10 years with children, adolescents, and adults in both individual, group, and family settings.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I practice with an eclectic style, meaning I will utilize different therapeutic modalities tailored to fit your needs such as Adlerian, person-centered, solution-focused, CBT, and DBT. I also utilize a trauma-informed approach with all clients.
In addition to holding a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Emporia State University, I also hold a Master of Science in Art Therapy Counseling (also from ESU) and am trained to utilize art as therapy and to incorporate art into therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
-Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
or you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
o address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
hat person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
