Megan Spina, LCSW

I’m a depth-oriented therapist integrating psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and somatic approaches to help thoughtful, high-functioning adults navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions, including fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences. My work supports deeper self-understanding, greater mind-body awareness, and meaningful change.

I believe meaningful change begins with a deeper understanding of ourselves: the experiences that have shaped us, the patterns we carry, and the ways we have learned to navigate the world. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that greater awareness can create room for new possibilities. I bring nearly two decades of clinical experience and advanced training in psychoanalysis, mindfulness-based treatments, trauma recovery, burnout and secondary trauma, somatic trauma recovery, and perinatal mental health.

You’re used to being the one others count on, but lately, holding it all together is costing you. You may be thoughtful, capable, and accustomed to managing a great deal, yet find yourself feeling anxious, depleted, self-critical, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’re navigating the demands of a helping profession, the weight of caregiving, fertility challenges, pregnancy or postpartum changes, or a significant life transition. You may be functioning well on the outside while struggling to find the same sense of steadiness or fulfillment within.

Therapy offers space to slow down, turn toward your own experience, and understand the patterns shaping your life. My approach integrates psychodynamic and relational therapy with mindfulness-based and somatic practices, allowing us to explore the deeper roots of your struggles while also attending to how they show up in your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences, relationships, emotions, and bodily responses shape the way you move through the world. As self-understanding deepens, we’ll work toward meaningful changes that help you respond to yourself and others with greater flexibility, compassion, and agency. Depending on your needs, our work may also incorporate attention to relationships and self-care, along with creative or contemplative practices that help translate insight into everyday life. We’ll find an approach and pace that fit you.

You may be used to carrying a great deal without showing what it costs you. Therapy can be a place to explore what you need, not only what others need from you, and cultivate greater connection, resilience, and joy. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out so we can explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
