Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
As seen in…
Hi, there. I’m Meredith, a therapist (LCSW), writer, speaker, consultant, and creator. My work focuses on the emotional habits that keep women stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to hold everything together.
For more than 20 years, I’ve supported women through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the quiet exhaustion that can come from doing too much for too long.
Grounded in therapy, real-life tools, and honest conversations, my work helps women understand themselves more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and make small changes that actually fit their lives.

Testimonials
“I just finished the Balanced + Well Program and I can’t thank you enough. I feel so much better. I have tried webinars, courses, coaching, and even full weekend retreats. Nothing has helped me to see the missing link was my own self-awareness. Raising my awareness has boosted my confidence and my overall well being.”
“Meredith Van Ness was everything I was looking for in a therapist, coach, mentor, and more. She is not only professional, knowledgeable, and truly kind-hearted, but she has an amazing ability to listen extremely intently before providing comprehensive advice. My life turned around in the best way because of her support and guidance!”
“I just wanted to thank you for all you have done. Looking back at things now, I realize what a turning point my life was at, and I couldn’t have worked through those issues without your guidance and kindness. I am very grateful for our meetings and all of the support you have given me in making the changes I needed to make. Thank you for all that you do for me and others.”
