Megan Gaughan, LPC

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe past trauma surfaces when you least expect it, or depression makes even simple tasks feel impossible. Perhaps you’re navigating grief that feels too heavy to carry alone. For some of you, hormonal challenges like PCOS, PMDD, or menopause might be intensifying these struggles, creating a frustrating cycle where your body and mind feel at odds.

I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma while navigating life’s complex challenges. Whether you’re processing childhood trauma, recovering from PTSD, working through anxiety and depression, or dealing with the emotional impact of reproductive health challenges, we’ll work together to help you reclaim your sense of safety and control. My training in EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT allows us to go beyond traditional talk therapy to process difficult experiences and develop practical coping strategies that actually work for your life.

Women facing hormonal health challenges deserve a space where both their physical and emotional experiences are validated. Together, we’ll explore how conditions like PCOS, PMDD, fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, or menopause intersect with anxiety, depression, and trauma responses while building resilience and self-compassion. The journey to and through motherhood and parenting can bring unexpected emotional challenges. You need support that understands the full picture of maternal mental health.

I am also passionate about working with teens and young adults. Growing up is already overwhelming, and when you add anxiety, depression, trauma, or family stress to the mix, it can feel impossible to navigate. I create a genuine, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence. Whether it’s school stress, relationship challenges, or processing difficult experiences, I help young people find their voice and strength.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to meet you exactly where you are. I also work with couples navigating these challenges together and am dedicated to providing affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals. Whether you’re dealing with grief, work stress, relationship issues, or the intersection of trauma and hormonal health, you deserve support that honors all aspects of your experience. If you’re ready to start healing and building the life you want, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s begin this journey together.
