Hi! I’m Dana! My experience is primarily with adolescents and young adults, and I also enjoy working with children and adults of all ages. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, unsure of yourself, or struggling with relationships, identity, or self-esteem, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I’m warm and down to earth, and I believe your story is important. My goal is to understand what makes you who you are and help you make meaningful changes that feel right for you.

I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like something in their life needs to change. Many of the people I work with are highly sensitive and introspective; they tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and sometimes have a hard time knowing what to do with everything they’re carrying.

I also specialize in helping people navigate psychedelic experiences, spiritual emergence, and other non-ordinary experiences that may be meaningful, confusing, or difficult to integrate.

My background is in transpersonal and somatic psychology, with additional training in trauma-informed care, breathwork, psychedelic integration, and spiritual emergencies.

Maybe you're in the middle of a hard transition, healing from something painful, or just feeling like you've lost track of who you are. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to figure it out alone. Welcome! I'm Meghan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience and an MSW from Rutgers University. I've worked in many substance use and mental health settings, including detox, methadone clinics, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs, so I've walked alongside people at every stage of recovery. I work with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I believe every person carries an inner light, even through the darkest phases of life.

I am a mental health counselor who graduated with my MSEd from St. John's University with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate various theories and view counseling as integrative and eclectic approach to best suit needs of patients. Several which I use include:CBT, REBT, CPT, Behavior Therapy & Mindfulness-based Interventions including: (DBT, MBCT, & MBSR). I also use Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gestalt, Existential, SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) & others.

You are here because you’re ready to stop letting overwhelm, trauma, anxiety and depression take over you, your family and relationships and begin doing the work that creates real change. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your partner, or your child, you may be noticing how difficult it’s become to manage everything alone. You’ve had enough and it’s time to start something new with a therapist who “gets” it. I’ve got you!

Hello I have been a practicing therapist for 20 years. I received my Masters degree from Buffalo University in 2005. I continue to receive and seek education to further my skill set.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. While I am direct and passionate, I will challenge you and provide a space where you feel safe. We will probably laugh a lot and explore areas you may never imagined were possible to go. I am caring, open minded and love guiding clients in their journey.

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Nice to meet you all. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow as a clinician while supporting others. The first half of my career I spent working with adolescents in schools and in their homes as a therapist. I gained a deep appreciation for their resilience, insight and growth. I currently work with adults who have both mental and physical challenges providing compassionate, person-centered care.
