Welcome!

My name is Megan Barken, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing private mental health therapy, also commonly referred to as “counseling”. Through my life experiences and years working in the field, I have come to greatly appreciate the need and benefits of individual therapy. Individual therapy allows us to meet in a safe place with a mental health professional to begin to sort through our difficulties and seek solutions. My job as a therapist is not to “fix you”, but rather guide you through a process of healing and problem solving that involves self reflection and exploring different options that may work for you. While counseling can be difficult due to the uncomfortable emotions that may arise, it allows our brains and bodies to work through our issues in a safe place at our own pace. Whether you are struggling with anything from depression to substance use to relationship issues, I am here to help you through life’s struggles to live a full and healthy life.
