Megan McLaren, MA, RCC
Megan has experience working with many concerns, using a handful of perspectives including narrative, person-centered, and Adlerian therapy. Megan’s approach to therapy is quite simply “human”. This allows genuine, authentic connection and trust using humour, laughter, and self-disclosure when appropriate. Megan tends to be curious about family narrative, roles in relationships, world-view/belief systems, mind-body connections, imagery within dreams, and the integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Megan is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with an MA Counselling, and experience in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy.
