Meredith Hinson

Meredith Hinson believes that every person has the capacity and potential to work out how to live well in the world, and that conviction is at the heart of her work as a counselor.

She helps clients trace how their life experiences shape thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and perceptions, and she supports them in developing a clearer understanding of the origins of their difficulties so they can make and sustain meaningful change.

Meredith aims to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where people can feel safe exploring their lives and experiences. She emphasizes trust and the willingness to consider another’s perspective as essential elements of effective counseling, and she focuses on helping clients build on their existing strengths to promote lasting progress.

Her social work perspective informs a wider view of change that takes the whole environment into account. Meredith has seven years of clinical experience working across community programs, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient therapy, with outpatient care being a particular strength and preference. She has training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and in holistic approaches, and she practices as a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and state licensure (NC LCSW C011806).
