Getting to know Megan Tyo

I often work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions. I am well-versed in providing support through medical challenges, and have experience working with oncology, critical and chronic illness, chronic pain, and emergency medicine. My primary area of focus is work with older adults and those who care for them, with background experience in nursing home care, memory care, hospital discharge, transition planning, caregiver support, and in-home care in the community. With over 13 years in the field of social work in a variety of settings, I have seen firsthand the impact that aging, illness, transition, loss, and life stressors can have on mental health. I am proud to bring this depth of experience to my therapy practice, and look forward to collaborating with each individual client to find solutions that work for them. As your therapist, I am here to create a supportive, safe space, within which we will work together to navigate challenges. My practice is rooted in the hope that things can always get better, and the confidence that each person has unique strengths and skills. I look forward to meeting new clients who are interested in a collaborative relationship.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is friendly and warm, and I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative effort. You are the expert on your own feelings and experiences, and, as your therapist, my role is to understand your point of view and help you access coping strategies that work for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I practice talk therapy, using elements of a variety of different theories--including CBT, ACT, behavioral activation, DBT, and mindfulness. To start the process we will start with a 15-minute introductory call to determine whether or not my service is a good match for your needs. We will follow this with a 60-minute intake appointment to gather more detailed background information, and make a plan for ongoing therapy after that.
