Getting to know Megan Riney

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in crisis counseling, private practice, and community behavioral health. My approach blends humanistic and psychodynamic principles, helping clients explore the deeper roots of their experiences while honoring their unique journey. My approach I offer collaborative, relational care rooted in safety, curiosity, and emotional depth. My strengths-based, client-centered approach integrates EMDR and insight-oriented work to explore patterns, identity, and healing. I show up authentically, creating space for clients to explore identity, patterns, and healing with honesty and trust. My focus I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, young to middle adulthood, and single parents navigating identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, and relationship issues. I'm an advocate for community and social justice, creating an inclusive, affirming space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. My communication style I show up as my authentic self—warm, grounded, and direct. I listen deeply, challenge unhelpful patterns, and hold firm boundaries to create a safe, respectful space. I believe in keeping it real while helping you explore what’s beneath the surface. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a therapist began far before adulthood. I’ve always been drawn to people’s stories and the deeper layers of emotion and connection. That curiosity led me into crisis work, community mental health, and private practice—where I found my purpose in holding space for healing. It’s work that continues to inspire me. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by identifying what matters most, exploring barriers, and building practical, personalized strategies. My approach is goal-oriented and insight-driven, blending emotional depth with tools that support clarity, confidence, and meaningful progress for your desired life.
