More about Meghan
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW-C
My name is Meghan McGowan, and I'm a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C). Life experiences and traumas can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction and it can be hard to know what to do. With compassion, honesty, and a non judgmental approach, I will help you to work through issues while identifying your strengths to be a happier and healthier YOU. My experience is primarily working child maltreatment investigations. I also have experience in mental health and behavioral hardships, Intimate Partner Violence, substance use, and relationships.
