What does it mean to live your best life? To experience serenity? How about adventure? Clarity? Happiness? Do you ever wonder if you were meant to have these experiences, and more? If you can wonder it, if you can imagine it, then you can dream it into being. You may need to learn new skills, develop new tools, identify the false and limiting beliefs that hold you back. Is this possible? Certainly. You just need a dream (a goal), and the right support.

My services are currently via Telehealth only. I take private pay & 3-4 specific insurance companies. My primary passion is helping the LGBTQ+ community. This includes assessment/letters of support for HRT/Surgical interventions. I also support those questioning, curious or struggling with these changes for themselves or their family members. I believe everyone has their own unique way of seeing the world based on their experiences, conscious beliefs and unconscious thought. You will find that I tend to "tell it like it is". Please email vs. calling. If I am full I can provide options via email far quicker than via phone.

Throughout her life, Megan Crawford has sought out therapy as she navigated challenging life circumstances. These included relationship struggles, divorce, single parenting, life transitions, a loved one struggling with addiction, and the loss of a close friend. She found therapy to be a safe space to explore feelings, fears, strengths, and to address thoughts that were blocking her growth. Though therapy she gained the courage to make positive decisions that supported her emotional well-being. Now, she wants to provide that same source of strength for you.

New client openings for summer 2023. Life has a way of being overwhelming, confusing, and challenging- no judgement, this is tricky stuff. If you have found that you’ve been ignoring, dismissing, or arguing more often than you'd like, please know that I see you and you are not defined by these moments. Therapy can be a space where you create movement towards your goals, develop new strategies for coping, and explore the joy available to you.

How can I tell my troubles to a stranger? What will they think of me? Part of mental health therapy is creating a safe space for people to come to and talk about whatever they want to talk about. I believe trust is essential for successful outcomes. I've been the daughter, the spouse, the parent, and the human who is struggling with past and present challenges. It is important to me to give you the space you need. I specialize in helping narcisisstic/gaslighting survivors, autism spectrum disorder, self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, kids 12 and over, adults, individuals, and families.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to work through emotional issues in a safe and accepting space. They come to therapy wanting to address their emotional distress, find healthy solutions to difficult problems, and gain self-confidence in managing their emotions. They may need help in recognizing and expressing their feelings, exploring and understanding the impact of their past, and in improving their interpersonal skills. They may have experienced trauma and need help in understanding and dealing with the symptoms it can bring. Ultimately, my client seeks help in creating a more fulfilling life with healthy relationships.

Thinking about starting therapy is sometimes a scary step if you haven’t ever been in therapeutic relationship before. If you are thinking about starting therapy I encourage you to give it a try. In trauma focused therapy you decide where you want to go and on your timeline. Lets work together so that you can participate in activities that you want to take part in and enjoy them. I believe that you already have many skills to make positive changes in your life. We can work together in a client focused setting to identify your strengths and help you build on your strengths to make changes that will improve your quality of life.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I currently have openings for both in-person and telehealth! Everyone has their own story or life experiences. Sometimes these experiences stay with us in ways that aren't always healthy or necessarily the best. I assist with helping others process through this, cope, and resolve these previous experiences or feelings. I hope to provide a different view of the things your looking to process/explore in order to help you move forward in life successfully.

(I am not accepting new patients) We all have a story and some chapters tend to be more difficult to remember and understand than others. I assist others in processing through, coping with, and resolving the pain of those chapters in their lives that may impact their everyday life functioning in their current state. Landing onto this page is your first step in a very brave, yet potentially scary journey in healing. My approach is practical and often direct, however driven with compassion and non-judgement. I often tailor my sessions with a bit of humor if appropriate. :)

I see counseling as an opportunity to create new possibilities rather than addressing a series of rights and wrongs. I believe that change is most notable when we challenge the faulty thoughts and perceptions we have about ourselves, others, and the world around us. By learning to challenge our thinking we can have greater interpersonal relationships, self-image, and create a more persuasive and stable pattern of moods. I am trained in strategies to assist in ongoing dedication to the identified problem outside of the counseling session. It is essential that counseling relationships are collaborative.

Everyone deserves a safe place to express their emotions, find the inner strength needed to make fulfilling change and be their best self. I believe that no two people experience life the same way and I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that works best for your needs and goals in a compassionate and judgment-free space. Change can be difficult. It is my hope that therapy can help you feel empowered to meet that difficulty with the strength and resources necessary for living a balanced and mentally well life.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
