Getting to know Megan Bloemker

Megan is a Licensed Social Worker in Illinois who is passionate about helping individuals and couples understand the patterns keeping them stuck. She will work with clients at their pace to find a way forward. She takes a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that painful experiences don't have to be life-altering and that healing is possible. With evidence based tools, like EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Megan will help you to understand what's happening beneath the surface and build new ways of responding. Megan will use her skills and professional experience to guide you through this transformative work. Gottman Method Couples Therapy informs Megan's work with couples. Megan's approach is collaborative and supportive, but also direct and action-oriented. Together you'll roll up your sleeves, untangle the crossed wires, and figure out what you can actually do differently. And of course, Megan will make room for laughter, too. Healing is hard work, but it doesn't have to be serious every second!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative and supportive, but also direct and action-oriented - I'm not just here to nod while you talk. Therapy is where we roll up our sleeves, untangle the crossed wires, and figure out what you can actually do differently. And we'll make room for laughter, too. Healing is hard work, but it doesn't have to be serious every second!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that painful experiences don't need to limit us. Using EMDR tools for individuals and Gottman for couples, I'll guide you through this transformative work.
