About Meghan, Discover Your Unique Greatness
A space where empowerment and collaboration flourish.
With over ten years of experience in the childcare field, I have cultivated a rich and extensive background working with individuals across the developmental spectrum, from early childhood through adulthood, as well as their families. My therapeutic approach is centered on empowerment, guiding you to recognize your unique strengths and potential.
The work with me is always deeply personalized, centered around your goals and what you hope to achieve from our time together. You will find a dedicated and affirming teammate offering steady support, guidance, and a safe space for growth every step of the way.
Services & Specializations
Ten ways I support people through real life.
Every modality I offer is rooted in the same belief: you are worth the time, the care, and the careful work. Below are the areas I am specifically trained to support. Every session is shaped to you, not a category.
Individual Therapy
Personalized one-on-one work tailored to your unique needs, pace, and goals. Anxiety, depression, identity, life transitions.
Learn MoreCouples Counseling
Strengthen connection and communication. For couples of all configurations: married, dating, LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and anywhere in between.
Learn MoreFamily Therapy
Heal and grow together as a family unit. Evidence-based approaches for communication, dynamics, and intergenerational patterns.
Learn MoreTrauma & PTSD
A trauma-certified space where healing happens at your pace. Process experiences, build coping skills, reclaim your sense of self.
Learn MoreGender Affirmation
WPATH-aligned, informed-consent care for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals. Letters, transition support, identity work.
Learn MoreLGBTQIA+ Affirming
Care that celebrates your identity (not merely tolerates it). No need to educate your therapist or justify who you are.
Learn MoreParenting Support
Real, actionable strategies for behavioral challenges, communication, big emotions, and neurodivergent kids. Drawn from a decade in childcare.
Learn MoreADHD & Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity-affirming support. Differences to be understood and accommodated, not deficits to be fixed. Late-diagnosis welcome.
Learn MoreAnxiety & Depression
Support for anxiety, depression, and the weight of everyday life. Build coping skills, recognize patterns, and find steadiness again.
Learn MoreWhy Clients Choose Me
A practice built on consistency, dignity, and steady, careful work.
Provisionally Licensed & Specifically Trained
MHC-LP under the supervision of Ryan Sforza, LMHC-D. Trauma-certified (CCTP), WPATH-aligned gender affirming work, and LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. Not adapted, but specifically trained.
Evidence-Based, Human-Centered
The methods are research-backed. The delivery is warm, paced, and shaped to who you actually are, rather than to a manualized protocol that ignores your context.
Inclusive From the First Hello
LGBTQIA+ clients, couples of every configuration, neurodivergent folks, and anyone whose life sits outside the default. You do not need to translate yourself here.
Multiple Formats, Real Access
Virtual and in-person sessions, flexible scheduling, and a sliding scale on the online format keep care reachable when life is already a lot.
A Decade With Families
More than ten years working alongside children, parents, and families before clinical training. That practical, lived experience shows up in every session, especially the harder ones.
No Judgment, Ever
A space to be honest about struggle without shame. Your story is not a problem to be solved. It is a starting point we work from, together.
My Approach
Empowerment at the center of the therapeutic process.
Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in cultural sensitivity. I work to create a space where empowerment is not the outcome you arrive at; it is the way we work the whole time.

Safety, First and Always
Building a foundation of trust and emotional safety before processing anything heavy. The work goes deeper when the ground underneath it is steady.
-
Your Pace, Your Story
Healing happens at the speed that feels right to you. Nothing rushed, nothing forced, nothing on someone else’s timeline.
-
Practical, Take-Home Tools
Every session leaves you with something usable: grounding techniques, communication frames, language for what you are feeling. Therapy that travels with you.
-
Whole-Person, Whole-Context
Your identity, family system, culture, neurology, and history are not background noise. They are the picture. Treatment that ignores them is not actually treatment.
-
Reclaim & Build
The goal is not just to feel less overwhelmed. The goal is to reclaim your narrative and build a life that actually fits the person you are becoming.
Therapy works best when it feels intentional, affirming, and genuinely built around you. My goal is to help you uncover more joy, build healthier relationships, and live a life that feels meaningful to you.

How to Begin
Two ways in. Both start with a real conversation.
Free Consultation
A 30-minute conversation, no obligation. We talk about what is bringing you here, what you are hoping for, and whether working together feels like the right fit. If it does not, I will help you find someone better suited (that is part of the work too).
- 30 minutes, scheduled at your convenience
- HIPAA-secure video, available from anywhere in New York
- Honest fit assessment, with referrals if I am not the right match
Counseling Sessions
Regular individual, couples, or family sessions once we have agreed working together is a fit. All sessions are virtual, on a HIPAA-secure platform, with a sliding scale available for clients who need it. Length and frequency are set together.
- Virtual therapy, statewide across New York
- Sliding scale available
- Pace and frequency decided collaboratively
Common Questions
What people often ask before that first call.
- You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support. If something has been weighing on you, if a relationship feels stuck, if you keep running into the same pattern, or if you want a thoughtful person in your corner, that is enough reason to start. The free consultation exists to help you figure out if therapy and I are right for what you are working on.
- Individual sessions are $80. Couples sessions are $100. The initial 30-minute consultation is free. A sliding scale is available when financial access is a barrier. Please ask during the consultation. I want cost to be a real conversation, not an unspoken obstacle.
- Sessions are virtual only, conducted on a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform, available to anyone in New York State. Virtual care removes the commute, expands geographic access, and lets us meet in whatever setting feels safest to you. Practice operates as Vibrant You Counseling.
- Affirming. Specifically trained, intersectionally aware, WPATH-aligned for gender affirming care, and informed-consent in approach. Your identity is not on the table for debate or interpretation. You will not be asked to educate me or justify yourself. That is the floor, not the ceiling.
- A bad fit is not a failure of therapy. It is a misfit, and they do happen. The relationship between you and your therapist matters more than almost any other variable in the work. The free consultation is exactly for this: a low-stakes way to feel out whether the connection is there, with no obligation to continue if it is not.
- Couples of all configurations are welcome: married, dating, engaged, LGBTQIA+ partnerships, polyamorous, and those exploring relationship structures that work for them. The work centers communication, attention, pattern recognition, and connection. The structure of the relationship is not what is on trial.
- Yes. Sessions are protected by HIPAA and standard clinical confidentiality. There are a small number of legally mandated exceptions (risk of imminent harm to self or others, suspected abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult). I will walk through these with you in detail at intake.
- Use the contact form to send a brief note about what is on your mind. Nothing detailed, just enough for me to know what we would be talking about. I respond personally within one to two business days to schedule your free 30-minute consultation. From there, we decide together.
The Next Step
You do not have to do this alone. And you do not have to do it perfectly.
A free 30-minute consultation, a real conversation, and zero pressure to commit. If we are a fit, we keep going. If not, you walk away with a thoughtful referral and a little more clarity than you had this morning.
