Welcome to Essence Therapy - ATX, PLLC

Welcome!

However you found your way here, you may be searching for non-traditional type of therapy. The kind that addresses not only your past, but also your present and future. A kind of therapy that safely guides you in processing past experiences when necessary, while holding the vision of what you want to create and who you want to become in the next phase of your life. This type of therapy is growth-oriented and integrative – it conceptualizes your FULL self: mind, body, and heart - integrating all aspects of who you are to make the kind of lasting change you desire. This work is about becoming more of who you are and expressing yourself authentically in all roles of your life and in all relationships. My approach puts emphasis on helping you create greater internal security with yourself, and creating safety and trust within your relationships.

That is the mission of Essence Therapy.

It is therapy for your true essence to re-emerge.

My name is Meredith McNiel, PhD, LPC-Supervisor. I’m a mental health therapist with a passion for guiding people through identity development after relational trauma, healing and deepening connection within relationships, and empowering individuals to work with their emotions to move toward a more authentic life. I use a relational and integrative approach when working with my clients. This means we will have a genuine connection and use a variety of theories and modalities to assist your process of change and growth while maintaining clarity on what feels right and true to you.

My approach will adapt to your uniqueness, taking into account what you value, believe, and desire – and empowering you to create change toward a more integrated and fulfilling life.
