Meredith McCloy, LMHC
Psychotherapist & Coach
Pronouns: They/Them/Their
I aim to embody and offer a deeply relational, and justice-oriented, approach to my care-work. I believe our relationships hold powerful possibilities for healing and transformation.
I hold this belief accountable to Western counseling-psychology’s history and the interlocking logics of ableism, white supremacy, and cis-hetero-patriarchy that informed it. These pathologizing ideologies have contributed to a lack of safety, especially for those with multiple marginalized identities, in accessing care. For so many, this means concealing parts of themselves to access and navigate care-scapes. This can be a disembodied and harmful experience.
I value the opportunity to disrupt, reimagine, and offer alternatives to these experiences.
I feel honored to gratefully embrace the nuance of our intersecting identities, changing abilities, and lived experiences in this work. I view healing as a profoundly relational process. A core aspiration of my work is to help create a relational container where you can build the safety and trust to attune to your body-mind, authentically and compassionately. I aim to support you in your process of embodiment. I believe this process can support the exploration and embodiment of more authentic and liberatory ways or being and relating.
Some of my most resonant offerings in this space, I have come to understand through relationships with my community, kin and my own process of embodiment. I maintain a deep commitment to the process of healing and to tending to my own individual, and collective, response-abilities in that process and the ways in which my identities as a white, queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent person interact with these systems and care-scapes.
Together my clients and I cultivate a more compassionate, complex, and embodied vision of who we are through the process of growing inner space and clarity. While this process invites critical reflection, response-ability and discernment, it also demands joy, play, and imagination.
If this process interests you, I invite you to reach out today.
