I’m married with two children, and see marriage as the space where some of the toughest and most beautiful self-growth can occur. My interest in healthy relationships has lead to my career in counseling where I hope to support individuals and couples in working through life transitions, and establishing new habits to maintain a thriving relationship. If your partner is not willing to engage in couples counseling, you can still receive benefit! Many people attend individual counseling to work on relationship goals and experience positive changes in their relationship based on the changes they’ve made. I also have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma including domestic violence, sexual abuse and human trafficking.
I am trained in taking a trauma informed approach to addressing your story, and use a strengths-based model to support you in experiencing empowerment. Many people report a desire to ignore their past but find at times it starts to creep up and can no longer be ignored, as it may be impacting your relationships with others or your functioning in important areas of your life.
I am happy to support you in addressing where you may have been deeply hurt. You will be able to move at you own pace in therapy and will set the tone for what you need your sessions to be.
My passion is healthy relationships.
Being in a satisfying relationship can have an impact on all areas of life and my career has been focused on supporting others in determining what a healthy relationship could look like for them.
I have heard clients say they waited to seek counseling because it made them feel weak or they did not want anyone to take pity on them. I’m quick to share that discussing the tough issues and facing them head on shows your incredible resiliency and strength from what you have survived.
It is my privilege to be given insight into your world to try and resolve what may not be working for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is great, very helpful
Megan is fantastic! She responds quickly and checks in often. This has been a very positive experience!!
Ms. Megan is an incredible therapist. She listens, she meets you where you're at, and she has so much wisdom to offer. She's been the first to ever make me feel safe, and I feel so calm and not judged with her. My background for needing therapy is sexual trauma, and she has helped me make a ton of progress in that area. I am very distrusting of people and she has truly made me feel safe. I can't recommend Ms. Megan enough, truly.
I love Ms. Megan! She is so kind, patient, wise, and non-judgmental. She has taught me so much and has helped me in so many ways. I'm so thankful for her!
Megan is amazing, she really takes the time to listen to my concerns and validates my feelings. She offers me advice on how to cope with my anxiety, better my relationship, and always makes herself available.
Megan is an extraordinary therapist. She offers support and asks thought provoking questions that really help me think. She makes me feel so comfortable in sharing. I would recommend Megan to anyone. She’s an incredible therapist.
Megan has been so wonderful and understanding. My schedule has been crazy, and she continues to check in and make sure I'm doing okay, even when I'm not as responsive as I know I need to be. She reassures me that she is here for me and that I can reach out to her whenever I need to.
Megan Richardson has been a tremendous help and blessing in supporting me through my relationship difficulties. I am in such a better place now than before I started with her in terms of my interpersonal relationship skills and understanding how I function in relationships. Truly, I am so grateful for her help!
