Message from Maeghan
Welcome! I'm Maeghan (she/her), a Licensed Master Social Worker in New York. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and finding the right fit can feel daunting. I'm here to offer you a supportive journey tailored to your needs. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life changes. My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative, rooted in a strengths-based and client-centered perspective. You're the expert in your own life and I aim to meet you where you are by creating a compassionate and accepting space for you to share your true self. I earned my MSW from Columbia University School of Social Work in NYC. Let's embark on this journey together—schedule your free 15-min consultation today. I am in-network with most Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, and United/Optum plans. Please note, I am not in-network with Medicaid/Medicare plans at this time.

Get to Know Maeghan
Are there any philosophies or values that inform your work that I should know about?
I work from a strengths based perspective and believe that you are the expert in your own life. I strive to meet you where you're at and create a safe space for growth and healing.
How do you approach diversity in the room or working with clients who may come from a different background than you?
I take a social justice approach that centers around an understanding of the roles that privilege and oppression may play. Your personal intersecting identities and lived experiences make you beautifully unique and I work with each person as an individual. These identities can impact how we perceive ourselves and how we navigate the world around us. I aim to show up as authentically as possible and approach our time together with curiosity and a positive regard.
Where did you work before going into private practice?
I worked extensively in the nonprofit space before going into private practice. I have experience working with housing insecurity, case management, access to mental health care, and disaster recovery/relief.
