About Me
Hello! I'm glad you're here, even if it's just for a short time and introduction. I hope you're safe and finding the connections that help you grow your mind, body, and spirit. My name is Megan, I'm a clinical mental health counselor, and the owner of Balanced Life Center, and co-owner of G.Y.M. (Grow Your Mind) Body & Spirit. My approach to healing is holistic and rooted in connection, collaboration, and curiosity. I am drawn to working with individuals for whom traditional therapy hasn't been effective, committed to finding alternative approaches that resonate with their needs and preferences. I embrace delivering creative and non-traditional methods grounded in evidence-based treatments that promote healing. This may look like use of sand tray, music, art, boxing focus mitts (G.Y.M. Body & Spirit), and other similar techniques. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule an appointment. Either way, "be easy..." "Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection." Dr. Gabor Mate
