Unbound Counseling was co-founded by Dr. Brenda Everett and Kayla Grogg Meador, LICSW, two female combat veterans and proud military spouses with a shared vision: to create a counseling practice rooted in healing, connection, and community.

The name Unbound reflects our belief that counseling is about releasing the weight of shame, trauma, and disconnection — freeing people to live with authenticity, resilience, and deeper connection. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but about rediscovering and reclaiming who you already are.

Brenda brings over 20 years of combined experience as a counselor, supervisor, professor, and veteran. Her expertise in counselor education, trauma-informed care, and polyvagal approaches has shaped Unbound into a practice that blends research-based excellence with genuine human presence.

Kayla is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker whose warmth and commitment to accessibility are central to Unbound’s identity. Kayla brings nearly a decade of experience as a therapist supervisor, and veteran. combining evidence-based approaches with authenticity. Healing happens not just through techniques, but through the freedom to show up as your whole self.

Together, we built Unbound Counseling to be more than a practice. It is a community of care where people can find the right therapeutic fit from our diverse team, whether through in-person sessions, telehealth, or innovative walk-and-talk therapy.

Through Unbound by Grace, we extend this mission beyond counseling to the broader Morgantown and West Virginia community — feeding children, supporting families, and cultivating spaces of dignity and belonging.

As female combat veterans and military spouses, we understand both the cost of service and the strength it builds. We are honored to serve West Virginia by walking alongside individuals, families, and communities and by helping grow the next generation of professionals in the counseling field.

At Unbound, our name is more than a title — it is a a deep commitment to healing people, strengthening families, and building communities.
