About

Hi there, I'm Megan! Welcome! I am Megan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Hawaii and Florida. I have attained a certificate as a Master level Registered Addiction Specialist. My goal is to create a trusting therapeutic relationship, built on mutual respect and confidentiality, where individuals feel heard, validated, and supported. My approach My approach is rooted in a person-centered therapy, where I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities to overcome their difficulties. By fostering a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My focus I have completed multiple dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused CBT training. Different issues I have experience with are bipolar, BPD, PTSD, conduct disorder, ASD, dual-diagnosis, complex trauma, and commercially explicated. Much of my experience is with children and adolescents but over the past year I have also begun working with veterans. My communication style I make attempts to work with my clients as a teammate or as a support person. While working with clients I like to create a safe and non-judgmental space, that allows me to actively listen, empathize, and validate. I utilize open-ended questions, reflective responses, and active engagement to foster a deep understanding of the client's thoughts, emotions, and struggles. This style allows for effective exploration and collaboration, promoting personal growth, healing, and positive change. My journey to therapy I began as a mental health technician working with youth who were diagnosed with dual diagnosis. Since then I have facilitated anger management, dialectical behavior therapy, and STRIVE groups. I also have experience with couples, family, and individual therapy. In addition over the last year, I have begun working veterans. I aim to provide practical tools to empower my clients on their journey towards healing and personal growth.
