ABOUT MEGAN LARIGAN, LMHC

Megan Larigan, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor in New York City with Healthy Minds NYC in Midtown East. Her therapy superpower is connecting the pieces of repeating cycles and working to break those cycles. Megan’s therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic, developmental, relational, and self-psychology with an emphasis on long-term, insight-oriented care. However, her approach is eclectic, and she emphasizes integrating the best tools for specific client needs. Megan often draws from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy when needed.

  • Clients describe Megan as calm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental yet challenging in her approach. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, phase of life challenges, and individuals who feel “stuck” in maladaptive or counterproductive cycles or patterns. She also helps with relational struggles such as codependency, communication, and conflict cycles. Megan believes that the dynamics or patterns that surface in an individual's life will also play out in the therapeutic relationships where they can be processed, better understood, and integrated into one’s current understanding of self through a collaborative approach.

    Previously, Megan has worked in a variety of settings including, schools, outpatient and inpatient clinical settings, and neurodevelopmental and learning based settings. She completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology at Northeastern University and her master’s degree in mental health counseling at Baruch College.
