Great listener and sound advice. Thoughtful and informative guidance provided. Only after two sessions, I have already implemented so much of what she has taught me, especially with regards to boundaries.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Meghan has been a fierce advocate for my well-being from the beginning. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that I had a safe space for me to be vulnerable as needed. I think sometimes, it’s common for people to want immediate satisfaction as the end of any therapy session. I definitely do, but what’s most impactful is our conversations resonating between sessions. Thanks, Meghan!

Meghan is an amazing therapist. She is a wonderful listener, honest and trustworthy. I have made leaps and bounds in my sessions. I have grown and become more positive. I would highly recommend her!

I feel comfortable speaking with Meghan and feel heard. It feels like a conversation and she has been able to suggest different approaches and is understanding but also firm when I need that too

Reviewed July 2023

Meghan is very kind. Her demeanor makes it very easy to open up. I never feel pressure or judgement in our sessions. I love that we always discuss action items I can apply outside of our sessions and I almost always have very eye opening/perspective shifting realizations during our sessions. I went through 7 different therapists before I found her and am so happy to finally have a good fit!

I felt so comfortable with Meghan right from the start and started feeling much better right after sessions. She’s professional, down-to-earth, and compassionate. The process felt very natural (I had previously had a lot of difficulty seeking help) and I really appreciated Meghan’s expertise and care. The worksheets she provided were also very helpful. Highly recommend!!

Meghan was exactly the person I needed to talk to. She was professional, emphatic and most importantly from a New York City perspective knows what the city and the people who call NYC home are like. I don’t think I could have felt the same with someone who hadn’t lived here. She is very respectful and helped me to express how I was feeling and the steps I could take to improve my situation. Highly recommend working with Meghan.
