About Thriving on Purpose

Where clinical excellence meets whole-person care.

Thriving on Purpose

Healing, Growth, and Purpose in Community

Monica L. McNeill, MA, LCMHCS, is the founder of Thriving on Purpose — a licensed counselor, supervisor, and advocate with 13+ years of experience walking alongside individuals ready to heal.

With advanced training in Therapeutic Horticulture from NC State University and the NC Botanical Garden, Monica brings something most therapists can't — a practice rooted in both clinical rigor and the restorative power of nature. She believes you deserve care that honors your story, your culture, and your whole self.

  • Individual Women’s Counseling Services

  • Psycho-educational Classes and Groups

  • Clinical supervision for LCMHC Associates (LCMHCS)

  • Therapeutic Horticulture Group Sessions

Monica’s warm, purpose-driven style creates a safe, supportive space for clients to explore challenges and build meaningful lives.
