Creative Counseling

Ready to turn over a new leaf in 2026? If you're tired of talking to counselor after counselor without any progress, or don't even have the words to express what you're really going through, let me help you use creative expression to heal your inner wounds and find peace and restoration. 

​

Art therapy is a type of mental health treatment that goes beyond words to address the root causes of mental distress.  Unlike an art class, it's about the process of expressing yourself rather than having technical skill or striving for a "perfect" final product. 

 

 

Welcome!

I am so glad you're here!

 

I'm Megan, a Registered Art Therapist (ATR-P), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I combine creative expression with talk therapy modalities to help you foster emotional healing and mental wellness through introspective art and personal insight.

​

NO art skills needed to benefit!

​

I work with ages 10+ and specialize in : complex trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and women's issues related to various stages in life.

How it works:

No art skills needed!

Art therapy provides you with the tools and opportunities to explore emotions and experiences creatively, aiding relaxation and healing through visual expression and creativity. 

​

Talk therapy offers a safe and supportive environment where you can discuss thoughts, feelings, and challenges, facilitating deeper understanding and personal growth.

​

Combining art and talk therapies allows for a holistic approach tailored to your individual needs, leading to profound insights, coping strategies, and overall mental health improvement.

​

​

My approach:

My approach to therapy is person-centered, existential, and rooted in positive psychology. All that fancy language just means that I am passionate about my work and I care deeply about you as a person. I believe mental health difficulties can arise when people don't have a clear vision of their meaning and purpose in life, and I value exploring your strengths and positive traits rather than only looking at what is wrong or isn't working. 

​

I use an eclectic blend of various therapeutic approaches to best fit your needs. This can include various techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, Polyvagal Theory, IFS, Attachment Theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, and others. 

​

Individual, couples, and family therapy are available
