Holistic Psychotherapy for Individuals in New York, Rhode Island, & Illinois

Health and wellness relies upon a strong connection between the mind & the body.

I’m uniquely trained to use somatic & creative practices to support you in finding a deeper, safe & compassionate connection inside of your own body.

Holistic Trauma Therapy

Healing from childhood trauma is the compassionate process of learning to become the most authentic versions of ourselves in the presence of others.

Sometimes, words only take us so far.

Our traumas & emotions get processed and stored in our body, so to make lasting change, we need to creatively engage with our thoughts, emotions, and body as a collective whole.

I gently integrate creative elements into the therapeutic space, inviting you to move with me into music, breathwork, writing, and art as a way to foster deepened exploration and insight into the issues at hand.

Therapy for Anxiety

My clients struggle like you do.

Despite having good friends, success in school & work, and the appearance they have it all together, life is hard.

Life seems full of constant worries and second-guessing.

There is a tightness in their chest and a pit in their stomach that never seems to go away.

They want to slow down and breathe, but it never feels like there is enough time.

They often play the role of caretaker to the important people in their lives. They feel uncomfortable when others are upset and work hard to help them feel better.

They’ve been disappointed by family and friends. They give so much but often feel frustrated when they don’t get the same care in return.

Before they come to see me, they wonder if they will ever feel confident and secure in their relationships.

Like my clients, you deserve to reclaim an internal sense of calm and relief. You deserve to transform your relationships and bring meaningful connections into your life with ease.

If you are ready to take control of yourself and your relationships while feeling calm, confident, and connected, I can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (#001943) in New York State and a Licensed Professional Music Therapist (#MU00025) in Rhode Island. I offer virtual psychotherapy sessions to clients residing anywhere in those states. I offer virtual music therapy services only in Illinois (MT-BC #11375).

  • I would argue that creative and somatic therapy is more effective than traditional therapy. Why? Our emotions are stored and processed in our bodies, not just the thoughts in our minds! Creative and body-based work helps us to connect to those deeper parts ourselves to address stuck feelings & patterns.

  • Notice where you experience your anxiety in your body? Is your stomach churning, chest tight, or maybe theres a lump in your throat? Do you feel stuck in your relationships or in your work? Are you paralyzed by anxious, overwhelming thoughts? If you nodded yes, you may be ready for a creative, body-based approach to therapy. Let me help you get un-stuck and reprogram your nervous system to find the internal grounding and safety you need.

  • I always tell my clients that our sessions look a lot like a traditional talk therapy session. What makes our sessions modern and unique is the ability to utilize creative interventions - including writing, psychodrama, art, music, and mindfulness - as a way to gain deeper insight into oneself. Sometimes words may only get us so far. My goal is to help my clients have an embodied experience. Our body holds our anxiety, emotions, and traumas. It is through connection to the body that we will find a greater sense of growth and healing.

  • I prefer all clients to start on a weekly therapy schedule, so we can start off strong and create an effective plan to help you more quickly progress towards your goals. After a few months, we can reassess frequency of appointments.

  • I reserve a limited number of sliding scale slots in my schedule. If you do not believe you can afford my full fee, do not hesitate to reach out.

  • I do not accept in-network insurance. As an out-of-network provider, many of my clients use out-of-network insurance benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy services. You will be responsible for paying for each session in full, then I will provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. To learn whether you qualify for out-of-network reimbursement, reach out to your insurance provider directly.

  • As of January 1, 2022, a new federal law called the No Surprises Act was enacted to protect those who do not have insurance or are enrolled in a plan, but are paying out-of-pocket for services.

    The No Surprises Act, was designed to provide transparency and clarity around fees in order to prevent being surprised by large medical bills. This happens through a Good Faith Estimate, which is an upfront estimate given by your health care provider that lists services and associated expected/estimated charges you may incur as a part of your care. 

    As an out-of-network provider, Megan will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate prior to the start of treatment. This estimate is for your information only, it does not involve any obligation or commitment. 

    To learn more about your rights under this act, please visit: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers ; https://www.cms.gov/files/document/nosurpriseactfactsheet-final508.pdf 

    If after reviewing this estimate and engaging in treatment you believe you have been wrongly billed, you have the following options:

    Contact your health provider directly to let them know your billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate; ask them to update the bill, negotiate the bill, or if financial assistance is available.
