Therapists in New Albany, OH

When was the last time you showed up for yourself with the same love and compassion you have for those around you? All too often shame and self-judgement feed anxiety and insecurities, getting in the way of feeling good about yourself. I can help you quiet the self-judgement, calm your anxieties, and learn to really value yourself. You can have your own back, set boundaries without guilt, and feel comfortable in your own skin.

As a therapist for over 35 years working with children, adolescents, young adults and their parents, I know how to support parents to better understand their child while at the same time engage the young person with my humor and creativity. My approach is one of respect and genuineness which provides the emotional safety needed to work on the challenges they face.

Whether our work together is for you, your child or your family, you can trust that I am committed to creating a safe experience that supports you on your journey from where you are now to where you want to be.

Megan doesn't believe clients need to "wait until something is wrong" to start therapy and supports clients in building their distress tolerance against everyday stressors. She prioritizes making clients feel comfortable, safe, and at ease during sessions and collaborates with the client for individualized treatment. She specializes in anxiety, attachment, trauma, and previously provided counseling in residential eating disorder treatment but provides support for a wide range of concerns. Many of her clients are new to therapy, and she enjoys making therapy a positive, effective experience.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." --Maya Angelou. Suffering is often silent. We hold back our sadness, loneliness, resentment & shame. We think that pushing these feelings aside will allow us to live the life we desire. Yet, if you find yourself unable to move forward, I would be honored to sit alongside you as you process your story. Your pain. Your joy. Your sorrow, self-doubt and hatred. It is my goal that through my nonjudgmental ear you feel seen, heard, accepted & cared for. It is in this space that we can overcome the hardships of your past or future, & embrace the light that is within you.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with mental and emotional health issues or relational issues. If you are struggling with self-esteem/self-worth, the aftereffects of emotional abuse, a breakup/divorce, trauma, or relationship disturbances with a spouse or family member, there is hope. I have training in providing clinical diagnoses for mental health, couples counseling, family therapy, psychological first aid and trauma support. If you are looking to improve your mental health, "get back to yourself", and/or break cycles in the way you navigate relationships I am here to assist you through the process.
