Counseling & counseling Approaches
Therapy in Wake Forest, NC
mEGHAN’S style
Meghan specializes in trauma, grief, end-of-life care, LGBTQA, chronic illness, and religious trauma.
Meghan is a solutions focused therapist, meaning she believes that those seeking therapy are investing time, the money and energy to make a change in their lives and works along side clients to promote that change. Her approach is candid, down to earth and open. You'll likely see her walking the office barefoot and curled comfortably in her chair during sessions; the hope is that you will be able to feel as comfortable in therapy so that you can accomplish your goals.
Meghan enjoys the work of Irvin Yalom MD; a Psychiatrist and respected therapist and author of the book The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients. She believes that Yalom capture's the role of healer to client perfectly in his quote from the book: “….I prefer to think of my patients and myself as fellow travelers, a term that abolishes distinctions between “them” (the afflicted) and “us” (the healers)….We are all in this together and there is no therapist and no person immune to inherent tragedies of existence.”
A diverse approach to therapy
Meghan uses all 6 of the counseling theories and approaches; Humanistic, Cognitive, Behavioral, Psychoanalytic, Constructionist and Systemic. She will meet each client's unique presentation where they are as a "fellow traveler," with the clinically appropriate combination of techniques which can range from CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, Existential, ESFT, Psychoanalytic and Mindfulness to name a few.

Fees & Payment
Huma Counseling and Consultation does accept some insurances and can provide a Superbill for insurances that we do not accept for clients' to submit on their own. It is highly recommended you contact your insurer to verify benefits.
Initial Assessments: $170
Initial assessments are not a guarantee of services. Initial assessments help me gauge whether or not your care is appropriate at an out-patient level and whether or not I have the appropriate skillset to meet your needs. Do not worry! With a wide network of colleagues and clinical experts, if I cannot take your case, I will help you access the care you need!
Individual and Family Sessions: $150
Each session is billed in 45 to 50 minute sessions and billed at the time of session. You are able to schedule in advance and as an established client, select reoccurring appointments. If we do not accept your insurance provider, we do offer Super-bills for you to submit to your insurance for re-compensation. I highly suggest you call your insurance provider and check your mental-health benefits.
Insurances Accepted: Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, and Aetna.

It is not that we won't work with specific conditions, our concern is namely on whether our level of care meets the symptom acuity of a client. Clients that have severe symptoms that require access to a 24 hour crisis line, involved weekly case management, have had a hospitalization in the past 6 months and have not completed a Partial Hospitalization (PHP) or Intensive Out Patient program (IOP), or is assessed as needing a higher level of care (HLOC) we will help access the correct level of care.
