Meredith Harts, MS
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Co-Owner
My office is a compassionate, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where it’s safe to be your authentic self. All identities, expressions, and experiences are respected and there’s no need to mask, minimize, or explain who you are. Expect to be seen, heard, and celebrated—just as you are.
With my expertise and lived experiences, I understand the unique challenges faced by those exploring neurodiversity, sexuality and mental health challenges. In my office, healing happens at your own pace, guided by your unique needs, life experiences and therapeutic goals. Emphasis is placed on developing practical coping tools, building communication skills, and deepening your self-understanding.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in safety, self-acceptance, and empowerment, honoring your lived experiences and unique ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting. Our work will focus on your strengths to support meaningful, sustainable change.
Whether navigating your identity, traumatic experiences, executive dysfunction, burnout, or the impact of living in a world that often misunderstands you, this environment is designed to foster resilience, clarity and connection.
About Me
My career in the mental health field began in 2017, supporting at-risk children and teens in a residential group home setting. I completed my graduate internship at a women’s residential substance abuse program, where I later continued as a Substance Abuse Counselor. I transitioned into outpatient care where I supported children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I then joined a private group practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
In 2024, my partner and I took a meaningful step in our professional journey and opened our own private practice in Ormond Beach, Florida. During my free time, I enjoy creating memories with my family and friends, spending time in nature, crafting and spoiling my fur babies.
