Meg Wilson

Meg Wilson, MA, LCDC, LPC-S, ICAADC, NCC, CRNC, FBCA is a licensed therapist and behavioral performance strategist known for translating clinical psychology into real-world leadership strategy. After years in PR, law firm recruiting and administration, and design, she deliberately chose to step back from professional life to raise her family. When she returned, she didn’t pick up where she left off. She went back to school, earned her graduate degree, and built an entirely new career as a licensed therapist and counselor specializing in addiction, eventually founding The Antidote® - A Better You, an integrative mental health group practice, and co-founding Helmsman Group™ with Shay Butts.

Meg is a solution-oriented therapist and coach. She works across the full spectrum of human performance: emotional, cognitive, and physical. Her approach is direct without being harsh, clinical without being cold. You have a problem. She will work with you until you find a fix that actually fits your life.

Through Helmsman Group™, Meg applies that same clinical precision to executive performance – designing intensives, leadership frameworks and high-stakes coaching programs for founders and senior leaders operating at peak output while managing high internal cost. Her clinical training gives her access to what most coaches aren’t equipped to see: the psychological architecture underneath the performance. Her deliberately non-linear path means she can tell the difference between a strategy problem and a self-awareness problem and knows exactly what to do with each.

Meg is known for her ability to:

  • Translate clinical psychology into clear, actionable leadership strategy

  • Design and launch performance programs that work in the real world, not just on paper

  • Address performance at every level - cognitive, emotional, and physical

  • Spot high-functioning dysfunction early and name it without flinching

  • Build and lead integrative mental health practices that scale without losing clinical integrity
