All kinds of teens and young adults will find a caring environment here. Your unique experiences are valid; I'm here to listen and support you.

All kinds of teens and young adults will find a caring environment here, whether you're on the autism spectrum, living with ADHD, part of the diverse LGBTQ+ community, or none of the above at all. Maybe you've struggled with anxiety, grief, or self-doubt lately. Do you want to explore what's most important to you, your strengths, and what's keeping you stuck? Your unique experiences are valid; I'm here to listen and support you. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we'll work together to help you envision a fulfilling life and create pathways to your goals. My approach is validating, holistic, and down-to-earth. It can be so hard to know if you'll connect with a therapist you're considering, or, for parents reading this, if your teen will connect with them. To learn more about me, visit my Psychology Today profile at https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/meagan-shirlen-durham-nc/1270672 and my Birch Therapy profile at birchtherapypllc.com/about-meagan. Please reach out any time—today is a great day to get started. I'd be honored to partner with you in this journey.
