Megan Briggs, EdD, MT-BT, LPC
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.” — Brené Brown
Megan Briggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings since completing her Master of Arts in Music Therapy in 2010. Whether providing group and individual therapies in a hospital with adults, military service members or retirees; or outpatient treatment of adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, and life adjustments, Megan believes that engaging in therapy is an opportunity for growth, finding peace, and learning about the self.
While completing her Doctor of Education degree in Clinical Care and Counseling in 2024, Megan recognized that trauma-focused work is her passion and chose Traumatology as her emphasis. Advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Parts and Ego State theory, and Cognitive Processing provide Megan with important tools for healing. She discusses these and other options with clients to determine which modality would best meet their needs.
As a therapist, Megan understands she has no answers, just a lot of curious questions to help guide individuals towards the insight they are seeking. Sometimes people get stuck, and therapy can offer resources and new insights to be able to move forward into a healthier, more balanced, and peaceful way of being.
Megan lives in the Carlisle area with her daughter and two cats. She enjoys reading, making music, crafting, and being active outdoors
