Megan Carey, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State, located in Western New York. I enjoy working with folks who are motivated to explore their personal stories and gain insight into how these stories impact their day-to-day lives. I focus on establishing goals and figuring out ways that you and I can achieve these goals together. Therapy is a teamwork approach, and I am privileged to be part of people's teams as they navigate challenges in their lives. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the State University of New York at Buffalo, which provided me with a strong foundation in diverse therapeutic approaches. My therapy approach is considered "eclectic," meaning I draw from the various trainings I have had over the years to tailor treatment to meet your needs. The main styles you may experience in a session with me include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. For some people, I also use a trauma-specific treatment called Progressive Counting. My typical client is between 18 and 60 years old, of any gender and orientation. I often work with individuals experiencing struggles with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. In sessions, my style is one of unconditional positive regard. My goal when first meeting people is to create a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I understand how challenging it can be to open up to a new person and will tailor our sessions to go at the pace you are most comfortable with. I invite feedback on my approach and value open and honest communication above all. I have always been drawn to helping others. I remember when I was about 13 years old, my sister and I were talking while she was away at college, and she said to me, “You could be a therapist.” Something about that statement clicked with me in a way I hadn't experienced before.
