Megan Bartz

Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York with eight years of experience supporting people facing mental health and substance use concerns. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, helping clients navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.

Megan practices from a person-centered stance, offering genuine presence and unconditional positive regard as foundational elements of the therapeutic relationship. She believes the counseling relationship itself can be a primary agent of change, providing a steady, nonjudgmental space for clients to process difficult experiences and move toward their goals.

Alongside person-centered methods, Megan draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and to develop alternative ways of thinking that lead to different outcomes. Her work emphasizes listening carefully to each person’s needs and collaborating to turn those priorities into achievable steps.

Megan’s approach is hopeful and pragmatic: she honors that each person is the expert on their own life while offering a fresh perspective to walk alongside them toward greater self-awareness and practical change. She holds a state license as a mental health counselor in New York and focuses on creating treatment plans that reflect each client’s unique strengths and values.
