Meghan Farina
Are you feeling stuck in patterns you can't break, overwhelmed by anxiety, or burnt out in your daily life? My name is Meghan and I am a licensed professional counselor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and owner of Inner Light Counseling & Wellness. I help adults navigate anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and difficult life transitions. My approach is warm and grounded in proven therapies tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll identify areas of focus and set goals that matter to you, such as building self-esteem, healing childhood wounds, improving relationships, and breaking unhealthy habits.
I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, difficult life transitions, and recover from narcissistic abuse.
My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), somatic techniques, and person-centered therapy. My goal is to help clients deepen self-awareness, build emotional balance, and create meaningful, lasting change. Taking that first step toward a more fulfilling, balanced life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to guide and empower you through each phase of your journey. **Please note: I require a 15 minute consultation call prior to our first intake session to ensure a good fit**
First session
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background, history, and what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your goals and expectations. I want you to feel comfortable and safe in every session, so you are in control of what you want to share with me.
Strengths
For the mind, we will work on emotional insight, unhealthy thinking patterns, and negative core beliefs. For the body, we will integrate somatic awareness, deep breathing, and nervous system support. For the spirit, we will discuss your overall health and wellness, finding your purpose, and connecting with your true self.

My approach blends practical tools with holistic, trauma-informed care so you can feel grounded, authentic, and whole. Specialties include: • Anxiety & stress management • ADHD & neurodivergence • Codependency & people-pleasing Please note: I do not provide crisis counseling or trauma processing.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I practice trauma-informed CBT. We explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors along with trying to understand the basis of perceived struggles.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you explore the different “parts” of yourself: the inner voices, patterns, and emotions that often pull you in competing directions. Together, we will explore how to understand and heal the different parts within you.
Attachment-based
Attachment Theory explores how early relationships shape the way you connect, trust, and love in adulthood. In therapy, we identify your attachment patterns and learn to create secure, balanced relationships with others and with yourself.
Somatic
Somatic Therapy helps you reconnect with your body to release stored stress and trauma. By tuning into physical sensations, you learn to regulate your nervous system and feel safe in your body again.
