Professional statement
Clients often come to Meg when they've found they need a change after feeling exhausted, burned out, and disconnected. Coping mechanisms, like drinking, scrolling, or other forms of distraction often feel safe and have served us for many years, yet they're no longer working like they once did. With Meg, clients consider new pathways for connection with tools and support.
Meghan Holland McDonald is a psychotherapist practicing in Massachusetts and Maryland. Her practice is focused on guiding individuals, couples, and families toward better living and relationships using tools derived from IFS, CBT, Family Systems Approaches, Polyvagal Theory, and Narrative Therapy.
With Meg's guidance, clients move toward a more confident, clear-minded, and steady way of living. Her eclectic therapeutic approach uses framework from Relational Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as tools from Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) and the PEERS program from the Semel Institute, UCLA.
