"I have known Meg since she began her clinical training as an intern in college mental health. She is a consummate professional and authentic human being. As a former Professor, Meg changed careers in order to reach young adults in a deeper and more meaningful way. This unique and broad skill set really enhances her capacity to truly understand the college student experience. She embodies that wonderful combination of intelligence and skill while also remaining REAL. I would recommend her without hesitation."
