Where are the sessions held?
Meredith provides online therapy through secure teletherapy to adults throughout Michigan. Virtual sessions allow clients to meet from home, work, or another private location within Michigan, making therapy more flexible for people with demanding schedules or who prefer the convenience of online care.
Do I really need a therapist?
You do not need to be in crisis for therapy to be helpful. Many people begin therapy because they feel stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in recurring patterns they want to better understand. Therapy can provide space to build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and make changes that feel more intentional and sustainable.
What if I feel uncomfortable starting therapy?
It is common to feel uncertain, nervous, or uncomfortable when starting therapy, especially if it is your first time sharing personal experiences with someone new. Meredith takes a collaborative and supportive approach, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels manageable for you. You are never expected to discuss something before you feel ready, and questions or concerns about the process are always welcome.
How is Meredith’s approach different from other therapists?
Meredith takes a highly individualized and collaborative approach to therapy. Rather than relying on one fixed treatment model, she draws from depth-oriented, trauma-informed, somatic, attachment-based, and evidence-based approaches depending on each client’s needs and goals. Therapy is designed to help clients better understand recurring patterns, build greater emotional awareness, and make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.
What if I do not have time for therapy?
Busy schedules can make it difficult to prioritize therapy, especially when work, family, caregiving, or other responsibilities already feel demanding. Meredith offers online therapy to adults across Michigan, which can make care easier to fit into a full schedule. Session frequency and length can be discussed based on your needs, goals, and availability.
Will insurance cover my therapy?
Yes. Meredith currently accepts Aetna, Aetna Medicare Advantage, Anthem EAP, Ascension SmartHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna and Evernorth, Cigna EAP, Humana Medicare Advantage, Independence Administrators, Independence Blue Cross Pennsylvania, Independent Health, Priority Health, and Quest Behavioral Health.
Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Please contact Meredith to confirm that your specific plan is accepted and check with your insurance provider to understand your mental health benefits.
What can I expect after my first session with Meredith?
The first session is an opportunity for Meredith to learn more about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to change, and the experiences or patterns that may be affecting you. Before the session ends, Meredith will share initial observations, answer your questions, and discuss whether working together feels like a good fit. You can also talk through recommended next steps and what ongoing therapy may look like based on your goals.
What therapeutic approaches does Meredith use?
Meredith uses an integrative approach rather than relying on one type of therapy. Depending on each client’s needs and goals, treatment may incorporate EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic and Somatic Experiencing approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based methods. The specific approach is selected collaboratively and may evolve as therapy progresses.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
There is no preset number of therapy sessions because the right timeline depends on your goals, the concerns you want to address, and how deeply you want to explore recurring patterns or experiences. Some clients may benefit from shorter-term focused work, while others prefer longer-term therapy for deeper change and self-understanding. Meredith will discuss session frequency and progress with you as therapy evolves.
What are the risks of engaging in therapy?
Therapy can sometimes bring up difficult emotions, memories, or reactions as you explore experiences and patterns that may be painful or unresolved. You may notice temporary changes in mood, stress, sleep, or relationships as new insights emerge. Meredith will work collaboratively with you, help you process these reactions, and respect your pace throughout therapy. You are never expected to discuss experiences before you feel ready.
