Getting to know Megan Mcdermott

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor with more than a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through trauma, complex family dynamics, and major life transitions. Before becoming a therapist, I walked through many of the same challenges my clients face today—navigating family addiction, raising children as a single mother, juggling financial stress, and trying to build a meaningful career while holding everything together. Those experiences shaped not only who I am, but how I practice. They allow me to show up with a level of empathy, clarity, and groundedness that clients often say helps them feel understood in a way they haven’t experienced before. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients understand their emotional patterns, strengthen regulation skills, and break cycles that no longer serve them. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in old relational patterns, or disconnected from themselves or their families. Many of my clients are navigating the impact of trauma, working through family conflict, or trying to rebuild connection with their children or teens. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, respected, and empowered. In our work together, you can expect a space where your story is honored, your strengths are recognized, and your goals are taken seriously. Whether you’re trying to create stability, deepen relationships, or move toward a life that feels more aligned, I’m here to support you with compassion, structure, and a belief in your capacity to grow.
