Support for
Your Path

Welcome.

Life can be overwhelming. If you feel burned out and exhausted, always-on and never-enough, you’re not alone. Therapy can help. Together we’ll cut through the overwhelm so you can feel calmer, find balance, and build confidence to navigate your path with greater ease.

Forest Path Counseling offers hope and healing for anxiety, overwhelm, stress, burnout, and life transitions. Licensed psychotherapist Meredith Reames LCSW helps adults quiet overthinking, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with what matters through evidence-based psychotherapy, mindfulness, and nature-based therapy.

"Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?" - Mary Oliver

Services

Therapy for people who want to feel steady, no matter what life brings. People who want to turn down the noise in their head and tune into their heart. To feel fully present and vibrantly alive.​

Individual Therapy

Walking on Trail

Nature-based Therapy

Integrating nature into therapy supports your wellbeing in a more holistic way. Time in nature can help regulate the nervous system, ease symptoms of anxiety, and deepen mindfulness. 

 

Like the poets featured on these pages, you can let nature inspire your own deep work, with walk-and-talk therapy or mindfulness-based sessions to complement your therapy journey.

 

Offered in scenic parks and wooded trails in Hillsborough, Durham, and Chapel Hill, NC.

Focus Areas
