Journey of the Phoenix Counseling was founded to bring a warm, personal approach to mental health care. For years, I saw clients receiving support in ways that felt cold and impersonal. While that worked for some, others needed something deeper, someone to truly walk beside them through life’s challenges.
I’ve also faced my own difficult seasons, which taught me the power of compassion, connection, and hope. I wanted to create a place where people could feel understood, supported, and encouraged to rise above life’s challenges—just like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2025, we moved into our new counseling office at 1925 N 25th Street, Waco, TX. Today, we welcome clients in person here in Waco and provide telehealth counseling to individuals anywhere in Texas. Whether you’re nearby or hundreds of miles away, you can receive the same caring, professional support from the comfort of your own space.
Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of challenges. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX, and my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ.
My passion is helping people discover their own strength, build healthier relationships, and create lasting change. I offer a safe, empathetic environment and use flexible counseling approaches—whether that’s helping someone work through trauma, manage anxiety, or navigate a major life change.
