Megan Wills, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Megan!

I work with women specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma responses, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I help clients gain specific skills and make tangible progress toward feeling empowered and whole.

My focus

I work best with women ages 18-45 who have experienced high stressors or trauma. I help clients learn coping skills, identify a sense of self, rewire thought patterns and behaviors, and feel empowered to manage current or past stressors to live their healthiest lives.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I bring my skillset, lived and professional experience, and training, but you are the expert on you. Based on what we both bring, you ultimately choose your path forward.

My communication style

Clients tell me I am authentic and that they feel I genuinely care about them. My tone is comfortable, relaxed, genuine, and kind.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always wanted to help people. I realized that the greatest healing lies within you and your ability to gain access to the right tools, knowledge, and support to move forward. I love journeying with my clients toward their healthiest selves.

My goals for you

I like to start by building trust and healthy rapport. I am very open to discussing if we are a good fit for each other and accomplishing the goals you have for therapy. We brainstorm one goal to start, knowing this may evolve as we continue to work together.

Our first session

During our first session, I will review what confidentiality means, as trust is the most important part of our relationship. I prefer to learn what brings you to therapy, your history and experience with mental health treatment, what has worked and what hasn't. I also want you to ask any questions you may have.
