Meghan Farrelly

Meghan Farrelly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in East Providence, RI who works with a variety of clients facing common life transitions, family turmoil, and difficult interpersonal relationships, in addition to the burdens of anxiety, depression, trauma, guilt, doubt, and shame. Meghan works with clients to help them more fully engage with their lives, their loved ones, and themselves in more meaningful ways.

Meghan’s practice is rooted in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping clients identify and work with parts of them that represent their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Meghan also draws from her training in mindfulness, attachment theory, and somatic experiencing. In doing this, she is able to assist her clients in understanding and managing their physical and emotional responses to internal and external stressors, bringing about clarity, calm, and compassion within the individual.

Meghan has a gentle approach that is focused on ensuring that her clients are truly seen and accepted as they are and that all of the parts they present with are welcomed. Meghan’s first priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, validated, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. Her style is relational, non-judgmental, and allows clients to experience themselves as freely as they can, no matter how they are feeling. She works with clients to explore core beliefs about themselves, others, and the systems in which they exist. A trauma-informed therapist, Meghan prioritizes the influence of past experiences in order to help clients shift the feeling that the past needs to determine the present and the future.
