The center has a great staff they offer a wide range of services. They were very attentive and responsive to my needs. Meghan helped me tremendously and I am so thankful for her and her amazing staff. I highly recommend Meghan and I would confidently recommend this place to my family and friends.
I have been seeing Meghann for 15 years. I am super have to have been connected with her in my teen years which most would say are the hardest years of one’s life. She has gone above and beyond for me throughout the years, especially most recently. I’m a truly grateful to have her help me navigate through life. I would recommend this practice to anyone.
Very competent staff! Love their approach, offer a wide variety of unique and holistic interventions, in addition to Talk Therapy.
I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Meghann and the entire team at Center for Authentic Living. From the moment I reached out, I felt welcomed and supported. The office is professional, calming, and thoughtfully run—everything about the environment makes you feel like you’re in good hands. One of the truly special parts of this practice is the presence of the amazing therapy dogs. They bring such a comforting, grounding energy to the space, and their gentle, friendly presence has made a meaningful difference in my sessions. Whether they’re quietly curled up nearby or offering a soft nudge of support, they’re a unique and beautiful part of the healing process here. What sets this practice apart is the genuine care and compassion that’s felt in every interaction. Their approach is not only insightful and evidence-based, but also deeply human. I’ve grown so much—emotionally, mentally, and in my everyday life—since starting here. I would wholeheartedly recommend Center for Authentic Living to anyone seeking meaningful, high-quality mental health support. It’s been a genuinely life-changing experience.
