Megan McCarthy, OT

Occupational Therapist
115 W 30th St, Rm 502B, New York, NY
I have been a practitioner since October 2014 and spent the majority of my career as a staff member and lead Senior Occupational Therapist at New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) . I have experience in and provided rehabilitation services for the following conditions: Breast Rehabilitation Lymphedema therapy (CLT) Plastic surgery Oncology Orthopedics Surgical trauma Outpatient hand therapy Burn rehabilitation (adults and pediatrics) Neurology/Neurosurgery/Neurology intensive care Stroke rehabilitation General medicine/Medical intensive care Inpatient Rehabilitation COVID intensive care unit and recovery. My goal as a clinician was to become a well rounded therapist. After mastering a multitude of practice areas, including becoming Lymphedema certified, I decided I wanted to designate myself as a specialist. Breast Rehabilitation is an area of therapy that requires a variety of skillsets and one where you can help individuals get results quickly or even alleviate pain after one-two sessions. It is very humbling to be able to provide a service that can not only impact one’s wellbeing but helps clients to find a healthy connection with their body. This is how Thera became my next endeavor. Over the years, I have become heavily involved in plastic reconstruction recovery. I was a part of collaborative effort to create a research driven post-operative breast rehabilitation protocol that is still in use today. Most recently, became certified as a Cosmetic Surgery Therapist (CCST) and in the Strength After Breast Cancer program. Also, I completed training through Herman and Wallace to effectively treat, assess and manage mastitis. Having a certification in lymphedema therapy has allowed a greater understanding of breast swelling and overall treatment. Being able to integrate my background of scar management, plastic reconstruction, oncology, and lymphedema made the gap in healthcare apparent and I am on a mission to provide those missing services to you!
