Meg Lukan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Hi, I'm Meg! I help capable, driven people pause, untangle what’s been weighing them down, and find their way back to a version of themselves that feels clearer, lighter, and more grounded. Many of my clients look "fine" on the outside but may be dealing with overwhelming and anxious feelings they aren't quite sure how to navigate. With over three decades of experience in counseling, I bring my humor, positive attitude, and clinical experience to encourage clients to embrace their struggles, understand their patterns, and shift their mindsets.

My work begins with you. For over two decades, in different locations I have set out to use the power of the spoken word to help those who struggle with psychological and emotional issues. I have not perfected the art of therapy as yet -still trying! I promise to always deploy the best thinking and scientific research in behavior change, and brain support dynamics and technologies to help you to optimize your potential and live your best emotional life.

Psychologist, PhD
I started CCW International because I knew there was a gap. Women were struggling in silence. Veterans were coming home carrying weight that no one around them could quite understand. And the mental health world was not always showing up for them the way they deserved.
I have been in both worlds. As a U.S. Army veteran and a licensed psychologist, I know what it feels like to be strong for everyone else while quietly wondering who is going to be strong for you. That lived experience shaped everything about how we show up for our clients.
At CCW International, we do not just treat symptoms. We see the whole person. We ask about your story. We honor your service, your sacrifices, and your resilience. And we walk with you as you find your way back to yourself.
Our team is made up of clinicians who genuinely care, who bring both clinical expertise and human warmth to every session. We specialize in trauma recovery, resilience-building, and evidence-based care designed specifically for women, veterans, and military families.
If you have been waiting for a sign that it is okay to ask for help, this is it. We are here. And we are ready when you are.

Jasmine Turner
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, MS, LCPC
We support clients throughout the collaborative therapeutic process, helping individuals discover their voice and experience greater freedom on the journey toward healing, wholeness, and wellness. The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel free to process emotions, be vulnerable and show up authentically. Through empowerment, self-awareness, and accountability, we strive to help clients release unhelpful behaviors, patterns, thought processes, and relationships that will no longer serve the healed and evolved version of themselves.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.
