Do you have that friend you trust with everything? They’ve been through it with you and they GET you. When things are hard, you know you can lean on them?
That is AWESOME. That kind of love and friendship makes the world go round. We are here for it.
That doesn’t make them your therapist.
Here are a few examples of how working with a professional is different:
✨ No Bias, No Judgment
A therapist isn’t in your social circle. Their only agenda? You. They provide a safe, neutral space to explore thoughts and patterns without taking sides.
🧰 Tools Over Talk
While friends offer comfort and advice, therapists are trained to help you build real coping strategies, challenge harmful thought patterns, and create lasting change.
🤐 Confidential & Boundaried
You don’t have to worry about oversharing. Therapy is confidential, structured, and focused on your growth — not mutual venting or advice-swapping.
👥 Different Roles, Both Important
Friends = emotional support
Therapists = emotional insight and growth
At The Meadow Clinic, we have two wonderful therapists who are here to do that. Both Nikki and Jessica are taking new clients. Have questions?! Book a free meet and greet or just DM us!
