About Me

I’m Megan Neal, and I love working with people to determine and meet their counseling goals. I’m in my late 40s and have experienced many of life’s challenges, pains, and blessings—including parenting, divorce, raising babies, teens, and adult children, loss, remarriage, blending a family, caring for aging parents, and navigating my faith journey. I value support, resources, trusted relationships, and, most importantly, God’s providence. Life was never meant to be easy, nor was it meant to be navigated alone.

Psalm 16:7-8 I will praise the LORD who counsels me...I keep the LORD in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

What is "whole person" counseling?

As a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—my counseling approach incorporates steps to understand how each part of you is experiencing symptoms and to work toward healing and balance in all of those areas. Each client has the included option of creating a personalized self-care plan and heart rate/nervous system monitoring and breath work through the HeartMath system. At your request, I am also happy to discuss your care plan with your physician.

What types of therapy sessions do you offer?

All options include digital access to the scheduling calendar app, covered credit card transaction fees, optional custom self-care plan and optional access to the in-session somatic breath work monitoring system.

1. Counseling session: $135

2. Mini trauma processing Intensives

Duration: 4 hours at the regular rate,
Includes: an optional 15-minute follow-up call within 7 days and a personalized self-care plan.

3. Intensives for complex trauma
This option is designed for clients with complex trauma or scheduling restrictions who prefer to work in a concentrated format rather than over weeks or months. I require at least two regular-rate intake sessions beforehand to gather enough information to plan a custom intensive.

Duration: 2 days, 4–5 hours per day (depending on progress).
Includes: an optional 15-minute follow-up call within 7 days and a personalized self-care plan.

Do you accept insurance?

Not at this time.

What is your degree?

I received my Masters in Christian Marriage, Family, and Individual Counseling at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I practice under my TN Board associate license under supervision.

More client testimonials

"When I came to see Megan for the first time, I was consumed by grief, anger, and confusion. I had no idea how to get out of the mindset that losing my son had placed be in. Megan was able to crack open all that I had held in. She was consistent, calm, caring, and challenging. She brought me to a safe place to share and heal. She pointed everything back to Jesus, and reminded me Who held me, Who saw me, and Who could really heal me. I will forever be thankful for the time, effort, and empathy Megan gave. Because of her and Jesus, I'm healing. I would recommend her (and have to like 10 people so far lol) to anyone who has experienced loss!" - Kristen
