Meredith Porter

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” — Carl Jung

For more than 26 years, Meredith has worked with families navigating high-conflict custody disputes, providing basic and therapeutic supervised parenting services, as well as parent coaching. Her experience includes supporting and rebuilding parent-child relationships, helping families manage conflict, establish healthy boundaries, and strengthen communication and parenting practices. This work has given her valuable insight into family dynamics and the many ways people respond to difficult circumstances, deepening her passion for helping others and inspiring her to support individuals seeking greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and meaningful change in their lives.

Meredith earned her bachelor's degree in sociology and communication, with an emphasis in family studies, from Arizona State University and is currently completing her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

She believes effective counseling begins with authentic connection, mutual trust, and the freedom to be yourself without fear of judgment. She understands that even when we recognize something isn't working, choosing to make changes isn't always easy. She believes counseling offers an opportunity to better understand ourselves, recognize our strengths, and discover what matters most to us. Her goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your struggles, exploring new possibilities, and finding your own way forward. She draws upon her professional background and developing clinical skills to help clients build practical tools and approach life's challenges with greater confidence.

Meredith's counseling interests include person-centered approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-focused techniques. She has also spent more than a year participating in DBT group counseling as part of her clinical training, which has expanded her understanding of practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, practicing mindfulness, and improving interpersonal relationships.

Outside of counseling, Meredith cherishes time with her partner, their adult children, extended family, and friends. To recharge, she loves traveling, attending concerts, hiking, reading, and being outdoors.
