Getting to know Meredith Ward
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I help intellectualizers, perfectionists, and anxious individuals-those whose minds are always racing or looping-find a place to let it out, ground themselves, and experience clarity and peace. I especially enjoy working with women, young adults, and those who dedicate themselves to making the world a better place, such as teachers, nurses, nonprofit professionals, and mothers.
It can be exhausting to face stressor after stressor, just trying to check off the next box while still striving to be the person you know you are inside. Therapy offers a space to slow down, connect, and be deeply heard and understood. Together, we can uncover patterns and explore meaningful, personalized coping tools to help you unwind and reconnect with yourself.
Starting therapy often comes with some ambivalence. Asking, "Do I really need therapy' Maybe I should just try yoga instead..." I completely welcome those mixed feelings. It’s so important to feel connected and confident in your therapist-without that, it’s hard to feel like therapy is worth your time. Like most things, you may not know until you give it a try, schedule a consultation, or come in for a session and see how it feels.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Maybe you’ve been turning the same thoughts over and over in your mind, searching for clarity, peace, or certainty—and not quite finding it. Therapy offers a space to talk through your concerns, ruminations, and vulnerable memories at length, without judgment or interruption. My goal is to develop a deep, holistic understanding of how your experiences connect, so we can identify meaningful patterns and opportunities for growth, insight, and behavioral change. In sessions, I strive to be warm, thoughtful, focused, and down-to-earth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As much as I love theory, I aim for therapy sessions to feel relaxed, comfortable, and balanced. I encourage clients to make the space their own—whether that means walking during session to help focus, bringing a snack or a warm drink, or even inviting a beloved pet to join. My hope is that therapy feels both deeply insightful and refreshingly real—a place where you can gain meaningful understanding and feel free to be yourself: genuine, silly, and human.
