Reaching out takes courage. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Fall can be a heavy season: the days get shorter, routines get fuller, and holiday stress starts to pile up. If your mood, energy, or patience is slipping, you don’t have to wait until it gets worse. I work with teens, adults, BIPOC, and educators navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression — often people who’ve held it together so long, they’ve forgotten how to set it down. I meet people where they are, including through play therapy — a modality most think is just for kids. But play never stops being how we process and heal.

Were you diagnosed with ADHD as an adult or do you strongly suspect you may have it? Do you feel like you've spent most of your life playing “catch-up”? Do tasks that appear seemingly easy for other people feel unmanageable to you? Do you overcomplicate every decision you make? If this sounds like you, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Megan and I am an LMHC in NY. I was also diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. I spent years trying to convince myself that if I just tried harder, I could become a morning person, stick to a hobby and even be more consistent. My diagnosis laid the groundwork for me to start accepting who I was.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself? Maybe you keep wondering if you’re doing enough for your kids, your partner, or your career—and wishing you could feel normal again. It’s easy to get caught up in comparison, especially when other dads seem to have it figured out. You might ask, “Why can’t I keep up? What’s wrong with me?” Whether you’re facing work demands, relationship problems, or the constant pull of fatherhood, it’s normal to feel out of alignment with who you want to be.

I have a particular interest in working with people navigating trauma, grief, infertility, caregiver fatigue, and the pressures of a demanding career. These experiences can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and at times frightening, leaving you disconnected from yourself, your loved ones, or simply exhausted from carrying so much for others. Our sessions can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and feel supported without judgment. Together, we’ll move through emotions that have long felt too heavy or unsafe to face alone and learn to use those emotions as meaningful signals to better understand your needs.

You may know yourself well. You may have even done therapy before, read the books, done the work, and still something isn't right. Maybe it's an anxiety that won't quiet, a depression that won't lift, a trauma that never quite left the body, or a pattern that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try. Whatever you're experiencing, it makes sense. Not as a platitude, but because pain always has a reason, even when that reason isn't yet known. My deepest hope for everyone I work with is that you find not just relief, but a genuine trust in yourself and something that feels like self love.

You may be used to managing a lot on your own, but lately you feel stuck in patterns that aren’t shifting. You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt, negative self-talk, or a relationship with food or your body that feels consuming or hard to control. At times, it may be the ongoing strain of chronic pain or a life transition that has left you feeling unsettled, even if things appear “fine” from the outside.
I work with individuals who are looking for a more in-depth, mind/body approach to understanding and changing these patterns.

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’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.
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.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
