Megan Marchetti (she/her)

As a therapist who celebrates each person's unique and individual story, I don't believe there is a one-size-fits all approach to the healing journey. My goal in our work together is to create a personalized approach catered to your specific goals, allowing you to leave each session feeling like you are moving in your desired direction. Integrating evidenced-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), mindfulness, and trauma-informed modalities, my work focuses on creating practical and sustainable coping skills to help manage the things that are feeling exceptionally hard. I am also passionate about processing the complexities of the human experience, supporting clients in navigating the light and the shadow from a place of gentle compassion. After all, being a human is a lot of "both/and", and my goal is to empower clients to tolerate discomfort and find strength in uncertainty.

I believe in the "both/and", because being a human means being a lot of things all at once. You can be scared and strong. Nervous and confident. Worried and empowered. Anxiety and intrusive thoughts trick our brain into thinking in absolutes. They have a sneaky way of over-estimating the threat, while simultaneously underestimating our ability to cope. I believe in approaching our emotions with loving kindness, while also getting curious about the thought patterns that keep us stuck. I believe in regulating our nervous system that works really, really hard to keep us safe. I believe that we are a lot tougher on ourselves than other people we care about, and that if we learn to shift this pattern, we can do anything. More importantly, I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit. I believe that each person has everything they need within themselves, it just gets lost and weighed down by the heaviness of life sometimes. I believe in you, and I hope to help you believe in you, too!
