About
Meghan O'Nyon
I believe that life is a series of transitions, big and small. We often encounter our greatest challenges and joys in adjusting to these transitions. I specialize in helping toddlers, children, adolescents and adults experiencing grief and loss related to illness, death, divorce, and other life-changing events. I also specialize in helping children with special needs and their families. I use a blend of approaches such as behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, directive and non-directive art/play, and filial therapies to help family members improve their
interactions with each other.
My office is located in the Cove Mountain Counseling building at
307 High Street, in Maryville TN.
