Meredith Van Ness Therapy and Coaching

My Story

Welcome!

I am a life coach, psychotherapist (LCSW), a mother, a wife, and an outdoor enthusiast. I work to find balance in my own life by spending time in nature, practicing yoga, and spending time with my family. I love my profession, my family, and my life.

Truthfully, balancing everything I love doing is not an easy task. It has taken me a long time, 15 years as a Therapist and Life Coach, to figure out how to do my best and allow myself grace when I don’t. It took me years to realize that my goal to “have it all” had left me in a state of constant anxiety and stress that impacted me physically, mentally and emotionally. I wanted to change how I felt, and to do that, I realized I would have to first change how I thought, including my expectations and my understanding of a balanced life.

Life balance requires a lot of flexibility. I am grateful to have chosen a career that focuses on well-being, but I did not realize that “having it all” could be so challenging. Since discovering the truth, I have adapted, developed, and implemented practices and skills that I have learned from my profession to my own lifestyle and the lifestyles of hundreds of clients. I understand that I am in control of managing my mood, my thoughts, my behavior, and my actions. I can be intentional, mindful, and balanced.
