My goal as a therapist is to work with my clients to help them use their natural strengths and abilities to move past their challenges. I believe that most people already possess the natural abilities and talents to move past mental health or sleep challenges, but might need some coaching or occasional suggestions in order to do so. I utilize therapeutic methods that have been rigorously researched and studied. I have extensive experience working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depress...

Some days you’re holding it together. Other days it feels like everything’s slipping through the cracks. If anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles are making it hard to focus, connect, or feel like yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place to talk things through without pressure or judgment—to get curious about what’s going on beneath the surface and start feeling more grounded, clear, and in control again. I believe that warmth, creativity and a sense of humor are cornerstones of...
College is supposed to be one of the most exciting times of your life — but let’s be honest, it can also be one of the most overwhelming! Between academic pressure, social expectations, major life transitions, and grieving losses - whether that’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a sense of identity, or simply the life you thought you’d have — it can feel like too much to carry on your own. I’m Megan York, a licensed mental health counselor and grief counselor with nearly 15 years expe...

Nancy McWilliams once wrote, “Not getting it right, making mistakes, and wishing we had the courage to do it differently is not an indication of an underlying pathology or disease. It is the human condition.” This is a belief I hold at the heart of my therapeutic work. I see therapy as a space where all emotions and new interpersonal experiences are allowed to unfold—where people can start to free themselves from the weight of their past and the grip of their fixed narratives and complex feeling...

Having experienced the challenges associated with health issues and the limited access to care I experienced, I seek to create an equitable, safe space for all searching for support. What should someone know about working with you?

How do you continue ...

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, ...
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...
