Megan Smith

Welcome. I am a clinician with 25 years of clinical experience and training in a number of somatic therapies. I specialize in working with complex trauma and many of my clients seek support with overwhelming emotional states that impact some part of their lives. I integrate AEDP with EMDR and Internal Family Systems and teach Mindfulness based practices. My point of view is that struggle is human and does not mean we are flawed. Even amidst struggle, we all have strengths. I work collaboratively with my clients to bring their unique strengths to the "broken places." Finding a therapist can be a daunting process. Please know you are welcome to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation in which we can talk about your goals and I will give you a clear idea of what it would be like to work with me. If it feels we are a good fit, I will walk you through the process of getting started with therapy. EDUCATION Dartmouth College. BA Lewis and Clark College.
