About Meg Gregg, LCSW, LMSW

You have had to be too strong, for too long.

I’m a social worker living in Coastal North Carolina, with Michigan roots. I spend too much time watching trash reality TV, listening to true crime podcasts, and planning a stand up comedy routine that will catapult me to Netflix stardom and hanging out with Taylor Tomlinson and Kathleen Madigan one day. If you need me, I’ll be on the beach with a Dr. Pepper with friends and listening to my hyper fixation playlist of the week.

My passion is helping motivated, intelligent, bad ass women reclaim their confidence in relationships, so they can surround themselves with what they deserve - nurturing, life giving, and fulfilling friendships, and maybe even one day, some sizzling romance? *raises eyebrows and elbows you* At the very least, we can get you some laughter and dancing.

please Hear me when I say:

You deserve it all.

When I was a teenager, my absolute best friend (my platonic soulmate), would take my hands in her face, look me dead in the eyes, and always told me the same message,

“Do. Not. Settle.”

And now mama, I am here to tell you - Do. Not. Settle.

You don’t have to! You are already a professional. You are already brilliant. You are already hilarious. You are already wildly lovely. Why on earth would you take less than you give? You don’t have to, not now or ever.

How I work

I’m the professional in the room, but you’re the expert.

You are already full of answers. We aren’t going to waste time redoing things that you’ve already tried and aren’t working. We also aren’t going to pretend that you just woke up one day and found yourself here. You worked hard to have the life you have, and you had to be intelligent and resourceful to get here. Hell, you’re on this site right now because you are finding answers for yourself. Why would we pretend you don’t know what you’re doing?

This space, this therapy experience, is for you to figure out how to get what you want (or if you’re a member of the trauma club), to figure out what is you want in the first place. Only YOU have the answer for that. YOU have lived your life, not me. I’m going to use my amazing tools to help us start a psychological, archeological dig. But the answer, artifacts, and ultimately treasure, is in you. I respect the hell out of the fact that you are the expert on your life and experiences, and I’m never going to try to convince you that you don’t know whats best for you.

Therapy with me is…

  • I can not reiterate enough how much I believe in your capacity to determine what is best for you. The foundation of our work centers around your values and how to live those out in the world. Enduring trauma and abuse teaches us not to trust ourselves, and our work will be restoring that trust and honoring your needs.

  • I'm on your team and I care about you. All the way. And part of being on that team is telling you the truth, and helping you deal with the reality of your life. You're gonna have to do the work of eating your emotional vegetables. Healthy minds live in reality, and lying to you about your reality helps no one. But I have a feeling you've never wanted anyone to babysit you anyway. Learn more.

  • Look, I believe being normal is a slow, boring death. I have tried to be the blank slate therapist who nods and says, "hmm, interesting, how does that make you feel" and I just about left the field. You will hear swear words, you will hear sarcasm, and you will also hear that you are capable and good and deserving. I don't check my personality at my office door, and I don't want you to, either. You are too compelling and vibrant to play small so we aren't going to ask you to. Learn more.

  • Life out there is hard. And scary. And asks us to be too tough sometimes. One of your strengths is that you love so hard. It's gotten you into some sticky situations before - lookin' at you, people pleaser part. Still, it is one of the best parts of you. In our space together, we are going to nurture that. We're going to recognize that tenderness and softness often is what saves us. Am I going to be honest? Yes. Cruel? Absolutely not. Strength isn't harshness, it's understanding. You are your safest place, and we honor that.

  • We don’t exist in a vacuum. As humans we are all a part of society, and systems that are set in place without our consent. I don’t pretend that these things don’t matter. If you have a marginalized status - and if you’re a woman, you do - and we’re going to address that reality. It’s meant to open your eyes to real options, and ultimately empower you.
