Megan Larigan

Connecting the pieces of repeating cycles and working to break them is at the heart of Megan Larigan's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Healthy Minds NYC in Midtown East, Manhattan, Megan brings a unique blend of psychodynamic, developmental, relational, and self-psychology perspectives to her practice. Her emphasis on long-term, insight-oriented care is complemented by an eclectic approach that integrates the best tools for each client's specific needs, including cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques when appropriate.

Clients describe Megan as calm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental, yet challenging in her approach. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, phase of life challenges, and helping individuals who feel "stuck" in maladaptive or counterproductive cycles or patterns. Megan's expertise extends to relational struggles, including codependency, communication issues, and conflict cycles. Her therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that the dynamics or patterns surfacing in an individual's life will also play out in the therapeutic relationship, providing a unique opportunity for processing, understanding, and integration through a collaborative approach.

Megan's diverse professional background has shaped her comprehensive understanding of mental health care. She has worked in various settings, including schools, outpatient and inpatient clinical environments, and neurodevelopmental and learning-based contexts. This rich tapestry of experiences informs her nuanced approach to therapy, allowing her to draw from a wide range of strategies to best serve her clients.

Academically, Megan laid the foundation for her career with a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology from Northeastern University. She further honed her skills and knowledge by earning a master's degree in mental health counseling from Baruch College. This educational background, combined with her practical experience, equips Megan with a robust set of tools to address the complex mental health needs of New York City professionals.
