Meghan Meyer, LCSW-C
About
I offer individual mental health therapy to adults of all ages using a Telehealth platform.
I am a certified holistic therapist and certified trauma informed practitioner. I specialize in holistic therapy-looking at not only the body and the mind, but the spirit as well. I address mental health through a holistic lens using evidence-based alternative methods to heal.
Along with processing, a session with me could include individualized gentle yoga, sound healing with the use of sound bowls, and teaching and practicing mindfulness and meditation. I am a certified mindfulness practitioner, sound healer, and reiki master.
Life transitions at any age can be hard and present mental illness and symptoms you may never have experienced. Life transitions I specialize in include adjusting to and navigating chronic illness, aging, onset of and commitment to working through anxiety and/or depression. I encourage and assist in the exploration of what is called “the dark night of the soul” in the spiritual world. Leaning into hard times and learning to flow with what comes can make a person more resilient and be less negatively effected by life’s sudden changes.
I am creative and open-minded and love thinking outside of the box. I can help you look at life through a different lense- looking for different perspectives and retraining your brain to decrease anxiety and depression and increase positivity. I explore ways of communication that will help you improve not only your relationships with others but also your relationship with yourself through more compassionate self-talk.
Experience
I have a Certificate in Gerontology and extensive experience working with older adults. I have experience in assisting older adults transition to new stages of life, whether that be a new place to call home, age bracket, or recent mental health/cognitive changes. I have worked in disaster relief and assisted homeowners transition back to their homes after years of displacement. I am a 500 hour registered yoga teacher and have been teaching therapeutic styles of yoga to aid in rest, relaxation, and moving from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system.
