About

Warm Greeting from the beautiful state of New Mexico, where I am licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor for the last 20 years. My name is Megan Rafferty and I have been enjoying doing counseling for a total of 30 years. I look forward to meeting you.
Is there something in your life you are struggling with ? Is there some part of you that is in pain emotionally? Maybe you would like to learn how to better handle a situation?
Together we can build emotional safety for you to explore and discover what you wish to.
Using a non judgmental, client centered , holistic approach, we can build on your strengths and explore the areas that of interest and concern to you.
Together we can find meaning and depth in what you walking through, and also help you find balance and awareness for your whole being (mind/body/spirit/emotions/behavior). We can approach life’s challenges and stay curious to see if there may be any thoughts or emotions that may be holding you back from your potential and your power to positively change your life.
Throughout the years , I have been a counselor/trainer/mediator/professor and worked with adults, teens, children, families, parents, couples, and groups in issues of grief and loss, moving through life changes, stress management, communication, family systems, divorce and separation, marriage therapy, art therapy, parenting, workplace conflict, LGBTQQIP2SAA +, caregiving a loved one, and finding your life’s meaning and purpose.
If we stay open minded and attuned to supporting your whole being and your goals, it is amazing what positive internal and external changes may occur.
People make wonderful changes and heal on a really regular basis, and you can too become more of your authentic beautiful self.

Please note: If in the last few months you have been feeling suicidal or having thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself, I would not be able to work with you because I am working part-time only, and availability would be limited. It would be better to chose a counselor who is working full-time for BetterHelp. BetterHelp is not an emergency service, please contact 911 or 988, or please call 1-800-273-8285 if feeling like you want to hurt yourself. or others. This is not intended for court ordered therapy. And I do not send out any forms or contact any other providers on your behalf because the work you do here is
confidential.

About

Megan Rafferty is a New Mexico clinician who has practiced counseling for a total of 30 years and has been licensed as a clinical mental health counselor in the state for the past 20 years. She brings decades of experience as a counselor, trainer, mediator, and professor, and looks forward to meeting new clients.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental, client-centered, and holistic approach aimed at creating emotional safety so people can explore what matters to them. Megan works to strengthen what is already resilient while gently examining thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be limiting a person’s potential for positive change. Her work attends to the whole person – mind, body, spirit, emotions, and behavior – to help restore balance and awareness.

Megan has worked with adults, teens, children, families, parents, couples, and groups on issues such as grief and loss, life transitions, stress management, communication and family systems, divorce and separation, marriage therapy, art therapy, parenting concerns, workplace conflict, caregiving, and questions of meaning and purpose. She also provides inclusive support for LGBTQQIP2SAA+ individuals and addresses concerns related to stress, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy, parenting, career difficulties, depression, coaching, and compassion fatigue.

Because she is currently working part-time, Megan is not able to take on clients who have been feeling suicidal or having thoughts of harming themselves in the last few months. In those situations she recommends choosing a counselor who is working full-time through the service. This offering is not an emergency resource – please call 911 or 988, or the 24-hour crisis line at 1-800-273-8285 if you are in immediate danger or feel you may harm yourself or others. She does not provide court-ordered therapy, and she does not send forms or contact other providers on a client’s behalf.

Megan holds a master’s degree in education, is licensed as a professional clinical counselor in New Mexico, and also maintains a license as a massage therapist. She aims to help people become more of their authentic selves through compassionate, steady support.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for many individuals. One key benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people seeking support with everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an accessible, practical way to work toward wellness while maintaining the same professional standards found in face-to-face treatment.
