Shira Meged

Shira Meged, MD, LCPC, LMHC, is a therapist, forensic investigator, and writer practicing in New York. She draws on those professional strands when working with people navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, identity questions, and the complex stories they carry about themselves and their relationships. She often meets people who appear high-functioning outwardly yet feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside.

Her practice is trauma-informed and strength-based, informed by an understanding of the nervous system and attachment. She pays attention to how past experiences quietly influence present patterns and honors the adaptations people have already made.

Therapy with Shira focuses on guiding people toward a more honest, steady, authentic, and compassionate relationship with themselves. Her work integrates insight-oriented reflection with practical tools, including mindfulness, parts work, gentle somatic awareness, and creative or reflective exercises. She frames therapy as both a deep and human process intended to help people feel clearer in their minds, more grounded in their bodies, and better connected to their inner compass.
