Megan Hertel, M.Ed., LLC

Hello! My name is Megan, and I am a therapist specializing in child, adolescent, and family therapy. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but I have a particular passion for working with children ages 5 to 15 and their caregivers. I believe that providing children, adolescents, and their families with compassionate mental health services that meet them where they are can be restorative and transformative.

I have experience working with children with a variety of issues including, but not limited to trauma, anxiety, depression, school issues, attachment issues, and behavioral and emotional issues. My approach combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapies. With child and adolescent clients, I will often use games, expressive arts, play, mindfulness interventions, psychoeducation, or bibliotherapy to connect, discover, and communicate in session. I take particular pride in incorporating a client's interests and preferences into our sessions to engage them beyond the scope of traditional talk-based therapy. I am also happy to provide counseling services in Spanish.
