About Meghan McQuade
Meghan McQuade approaches therapy from a foundation of compassionate, nonjudgmental empathy combined with clear, achievable wellness goals. She operates from the belief that people are doing the best they can while also holding that growth and improved self-management are possible through intentional work and skill building. Her work centers on identifying both internal and external drivers of intense emotion and unhelpful behaviors while fostering self-acceptance and an understanding of how biological impulses interact with life stressors to produce conditioned response patterns.
Meghan attends to each person as a unique combination of strengths, life experiences, and biological vulnerabilities. When selecting interventions she aims to leverage innate strengths, provide targeted education, and reinforce change through practical strategies. Her approach is individualized - integrating insight development with hands-on tactics to build self-control, direction, and sustained wellness.
She emphasizes collaboration and active participation, tailoring treatment to use a person’s own expertise about their life to address obstacles to stability and competence. Meghan is skilled at helping people recognize challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and build confidence in managing emotions and behavior.
Meghan McQuade holds the credential LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and combines a commitment to empathy with pragmatic methods to support meaningful, lasting change.
