Do you feel numb, unfulfilled or disconnected from yourself? Like you’re just going through the motions? Hi, I’m Megan, an LCSW supporting adults in New York & Missouri since 2018. I help people find balance when life lifes, because we all know it will at some point. I assist people in processing painful experiences, managing intense or uncomfortable emotions, navigating relationship challenges, and reducing self-harm using CBT, DBT, IFS & Positive Psychology. Therapy with me is personalized and grounded in honesty, warmth, and real connection. We’ll laugh, we’ll be real, and we’ll do meaningful work!
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, invalidated or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break and maybe aren't even sure how they started. Together, we will focus on building confidence in using coping skills, processing the hard stuff, and creating more stability, clarity, and connection in your life.
I tailor therapy to fit you, integrating DBT, CBT, IFS and Positive Psychology. You can expect a nonjudgmental, supportive space with honest feedback and a boat load of encouragement! I’ll meet you where you are while helping you move toward intentional, meaningful and lasting change. Call today to start your journey with me!
