I am a Certified/ Approved Consultant in EMDR, an effective treatment for Trauma, perceived feelings of being "stuck" and Performance Empowerment.
I am a seasoned clinician with experience providing services to adolescents, adults and couples. Providing a warm, nurturing atmosphere where the person can feel safe and understood, I help my clients explore and understand how past/current issues are impacting and "coming in the way" of being able to fully enjoy life and set future attainable goals. We will address how certain emotions affect our way of thinking, performing and our capacity to feel "free". Since the mind and body are deeply and strongly connected, I consider the relationship between presenting issues, family history, current relationships and ongoing sources of stress.

I use EMDR alongside a person-centered, relational approach to support healing from trauma and long-standing patterns.
Hello, I’m Megan Smith, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) supporting Millennials and Gen Z who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodivergence. Many people I work with feel stuck, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves, even though others may see them as capable or “doing fine.” My approach to therapy centers on creating a relationship that feels safe, steady, and affirming. Our work focuses on understanding how your past experiences shape your present patterns, while also helping you move toward a future that feels more grounded and intentional.

I create a tailored treatment plan for each client that may include EMDR, CBT, or DBT skills.
Are you struggling in a relationship that leaves you feeling confused, invalidated, gaslit, and questioning your own reality? Do you feel like you are involved with a "Jekyll and Hyde"? This can be a partner, a parent, a boss, or a close friend. If so, you may be suffering from Narcissistic Abuse. These types of relationships can lead to symptoms of PTSD, chronic illness and isolation. I can help you understand what is happening to you on a psychological and emotional level, and how to change your reactions and functioning in or out of the relationship.

When life feels overwhelming and your nervous system feels constantly “on,” therapy can be a place to finally exhale. You might be here because you’re feeling emotionally stretched thin, worn down, or tired of carrying everything on your own. Maybe your mind feels busy, your body feels tense, or you’ve been pushing through for so long that slowing down feels unfamiliar. Often, what people want most isn’t immediate answers - it's to feel understood and to breathe again.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic approaches.
I help clients looking to heal from trauma at the root source. We help to relieve the initial symptoms you have, but then go deeper to address the core wounds. First, we will get you back to baseline health - out of survival "fight/flight." Once you are are at baseline, then we can help you address the core fear/grief underneath the trauma response. During this time, we will give also you the necessary tools to take smalls risks in real life thereby improving communication, vulnerability, and deepening your relationships.

With systemic relational training and EMDR for trauma, I treat anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to grow. They may feel overwhelmed by stress, navigating relational challenges, or carrying unresolved grief, but they have a desire to better understand themselves and move forward with intention. They want to become more emotionally aware and understand what they’re feeling rather than being controlled by it. They seek greater independence, healthier boundaries, and the confidence to advocate for their needs. They want practical tools to cope with stress and process loss in away that honors their experiences without staying stuck in them.

Why do people turn to psychologists? Because they want change. Real change in their lives. When you feel that inner need to transform something — I can support you on this path. I studied at the Department of Neuro- and Pathopsychology, and I understand how cognitive brain functions work, how the unconscious is formed, and how hidden mental patterns can quietly limit growth, adaptation, and self-realization. Step by step, the road is mastered by the one who walks. Let’s walk it together. Many people live in a state of inner chaos and confusion. I help bring structure and clarity, creating supportive conditions for change. My work

Drawing from EMDR, IFS, Gottman couples therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, I help individuals and couples move beyond temporary coping into lasting change, building insight, resilience, and more fulfilling relationships.
Life can leave us feeling disconnected- from ourselves, from our partners, or from the life we imagined. That disconnection can take many forms: trauma that lingers, distance in a relationship, struggles with sex or intimacy, or the weight of stress and loss. These challenges may also emerge during major life transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or grief, when expectations and reality collide in painful ways. Whatever brings you here, you may be looking for clarity, healing, or simply a safe and steady place to make sense of what feels overwhelming.
