Hello! I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your innermost self including your passion, motivation, historical challenges and emotional pain. We will create therapy goals and identify any barriers to achieving them. Together we will monitor progress and identify ways to overcome obstacles in your life path to realize your potential. My goal is to create a safe space to explore any difficulties you may be facing. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, somatic healing, body-based psychotherapy, mindfulness-based therapy and/or psychodynamic therapy.

Psychotherapy is about growth, expansion, and evolution, in addition to healing from painful experiences. Seeking support through psychotherapy as a strength. My aim and purpose as your therapist is to cultivate a collaborative therapeutic alliance meant to empower, foster self-compassion, and promote and motivate change. My enthusiastic and relaxed style encourages clients to address concerns with freedom and non judgement.

Today's world is complex, demanding and ever-changing!! I strongly believe it takes courage to ask for support to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be obstacles in one's life. With 15 years experience in diverse clinical settings including Private Group Practice, Community Mental Health, Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient Program, Inpatient Behavioral Health and Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, I have had the privilege of helping children, adolescents and adults work through obstacles including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, substance abuse/addiction, eating disorders, grief and loss, trauma and life transitions. .

Has life taken an unexpected turn? Is the anxiety too much to handle on your own? Are you finding yourself more depressed than usual? Did the pandemic take your last bit of energy? I see you and empathize with you. Beginning therapy can be such a difficult task. It is important to be able to find yourself again and heal from whatever burden that has been weighing you down. You are not alone. With the right support, you can overcome this and begin to thrive in life again.

Whether this is your first time seeking out counseling or not, finding a therapist who "fits" can be a daunting experience. SafeSpace therapists understand that it can be difficult to ask for help. We all, however, need support and guidance sometimes. Our clients often give the feedback that they feel accepted and secure in our welcoming & intimate setting. We are experienced clinicians who are nonjudgmental, approachable, good listeners, but also give helpful feedback. Clients also say they feel a 'connection,' and can easily open up with even their most private concerns.

Are you struggling with anxiety, sleep, self-doubt, and irritability? Are you tired of worrying about what other people think? Frustrated with the same repetitive behaviors?

We all get stuck sometimes. We find ourselves in a spot we know we don't want to be in but despite all the things we try we can't find our way out. I work with my clients to help them find those ways, help them navigate their situations and find the solution.

I have extensive experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings. I believe in the mind and body's ability to heal and bring you closer to health and wholeness. With children, my collaborative approach incorporates the entire family as a healing agent in a child's life. With adults and couples, I assist the self exploration process with the goal of helping you achieve desired changes. My strengths include adapting to a broad spectrum of individuals and identifying ways to help them progress forward.

Adult appointments currently available with no waitlist. I believe that every individual is on their own unique journey. At times we may get caught up in life’s challenges, transitions, or struggles and need assistance in getting back to a state of optimal health and well-being. I use a blend of traditional and holistic approaches to empower clients with the tools and skills needed to continue on their current path or to help find the strength and courage to create a new one. As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Medicine Provider, I also can perform comprehensive well being assessments and health plans at the client's request.

These past years have been filled with uncertainty and new challenges. You do not have to be on your own when it comes to exploring solutions. Whether you have been feeling lost, down, or off-balance, or its a distinct issue that needs resolution, it is my intention to hold a safe space to facilitate the process of personal growth. Seeking assistance through counseling is a courageous step towards healing, as it indicates that you are ready to shift from a place of discomfort to a place of empowerment.

My name is Megan Klee. I am an LPC and have had my license for about two years now. I have experience working in a residential eating disorder facility, in a community mental health setting, and most recently, at a men’s maximum security prison. I have experience working from anxiety and depression to clients with personality disorders and crisis situations. I am trained in ACT and DBT modalities and love working with an array of clients and populations.

I have a specialty in working with members of the LGBTQIA community. I consider and provide care that is specific to the needs of these individuals. I am able to provide individual, family, couples, and group therapy to these clients. I assist in linking clients to medical professionals, if necessary, for living an authentic life and affirming their gender identity. I have knowledge specific to issues of this population including sexual orientation and gender exploration, gender transition, gender dysphoria, relationship and sexual issues, and family/social issues.

It can often be a challenge to find a counselor to connect with, to feel comfortable sharing your experiences with and that seem to "get you". We also often want someone that cannot only understand and empathize but also to challenge behaviors/beliefs in a way that help create introspective thought, growth and change. I endeavor to join you on your journey, exploring what you seek, while also embracing the idea that sometimes you just need the ability to share safely and authentically in a supportive environment.

Accepting New Clients! Do you find yourself carrying an emotional weight that seems to get heavier each day without really understanding what it is, or why? The tremendous emotional impact of the environmental and societal events over the last couple of years has been staggering. The rollercoaster of emotions that come with the grief of losing what was seen as normal and dependable, can make you feel like your world has been turned upside down.

My ideal client is open and willing to share their thoughts and frustrations and who want help navigating through life changes and are open to working on themselves.

It feels hopeless. It is intimidating. It may even feel insurmountable. It is the pain of life, and it is real. But, what if I told you it is not hopeless? That you hold the key to making things better. Seeking help can feel equally daunting, but it is the first step of breaking through the negative cloud of despair. I meet my clients where they are in their life’s journey and I consider myself a “fellow traveler.” I join them it that journey to help them gain insight, to provide perspective, and to collaborate and determine the best course of treatment to regain the direction of their destination.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS WILLING TO MEET VIA TELEHEALTH. The clients I work with are seeking natural, holistic interventions for improving their mental health; alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stressors, anger/resentment, grief, etc. Wellness of the mind and body can be achieved through mindfulness and meditative practices, cognitive-behavioral therapy (changing the way you think and behave), proper nutrition, movement/physical exercise, and for some, belief in a higher power.
