“So happy to have finally found a great mental health provider! Meghan was so wonderful. I had been looking and trialing practioners for almost a year. My first appointment with Meghan was great. She is a fantastic listener and really takes the time to understand you. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Her insights are unmatched. 5 stars in all areas. ”

“She is very warm and so easy to talk to. I could tell she really cared about me as a person rather than just as a patient. I had an urgent question about a medication on a weekend and even then, she made time for me. She is an amazing person and more people like her should work in this field.”

Getting to know Meghan Shank
*Meghan recently joined The Midtown Practice and is currently accepting new clients.*
Meghan Shank is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides treatment options for adults with a wide range of psychiatric conditions, with a particular focus on mood and anxiety disorders. Her warm, empathetic, and relatable approach to patients is particularly effective for those undergoing the challenges associated with life transitions including career, location, relationship, parenting, and health-related changes. She also provides solutions for individuals who have suffered physical, emotional, or military-related trauma.
Meghan considers a patient’s medical and psychiatric history, personal values, and mental health goals when devising a comprehensive treatment plan. Her treatment plans encompass a variety of modalities with a special focus on interdependent psycho-social and lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and sleep habits to achieve optimal and sustainable outcomes. When medication is warranted, she utilizes an evidence-based approach to prescribe the minimum effective dose with the most favorable side effect profile to help patients achieve the best quality of life.
Meghan earned her BSN from Villanova University and MSN from the University of Missouri Kansas City, where she was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society. She has a special interest in empowering clients with the knowledge and tools needed to optimize their overall health and has additional training in Lifestyle Medicine. Prior to joining The Midtown Practice, Meghan gained extensive experience in a variety of medical and psychiatric settings while serving in the United States Navy, with adult inpatient and outpatient clients at Sheppard Pratt; one of the top ten psychiatric hospitals in the country, and most recently in the private practice setting.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation prior to your initial appointment. This call allows you to make sure that you feel I will be the right fit for you and simultaneously allows me to ensure that my area of clinical expertise will meet your needs prior to proceeding with an appointment. I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have during this initial phone call.
If there is a specific time that you would prefer me to call for you, please indicate that time in your notes while scheduling your appointment and I will make a genuine effort to call you at that time.
During your initial appointment, we will explore both your concerns and treatment goals. This will allow me to devise a comprehensive treatment plan that might involve recommending medication, a lab work up, therapy, group work, specific lifestyle changes, and referrals to other medical providers. We will meet periodically to assess your progress and revise your treatment plan as needed until you have met your goals.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $400 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $300 for 30 minutes
More information on payments and coverage
We are out of network with insurance. Visits range from $300-$400, depending on the type of appointment. Many patients submit receipts to their insurance company for out of network reimbursement. Since every insurance plan is different, you may want to call your insurance company directly to ask how much you will be reimbursed for your visit. It might be helpful to supply the insurance company with the specific codes we use for our initial visit (CPT code 90792) and for follow-up visits (CPT code 99214).

I was lucky to find Meghan. She actually takes the time to listen to you during your appointments and makes honest and helpful recommendations. The first medication she gave me changed my life. When I started seeing her, I was not in a good place and I truly feel like I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for her.

Meghan was extremely professional yet empathetic. I felt comfortable talking to her without fear of judgment. She really helped me understand myself better and reasons why I felt the way I did. I look forward to my next appointment with Meghan.
