My name is Megan O'Brien. I am a licensed grief therapist. I understand the inside of grief pain. In the beginning of working together, I want you to feel comfortable sharing your grief. Everyone is grieves differently as each person had a different relationship to their person. I believe the importance of listening to what is said in the room or what is not said. Many times we are not able to verbalize our pain of trying to live without our person. I think a very necessary part to our healing is to be witnessed. I look forward to joining you in your healing journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I want clients to feel comfortable in sharing their story. Often times, I am the first person who is hearing your carried pain over the months or years. I want my clients to feel safe with me sharing all the parts of their story.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I understand this work from the inside out. My dad died when I was 11 years old. I was told "I am taking too long in my grief" or "at least you had your dad for 11 years." I am an only child and I needed to learn to cope on my own. I think my greatest strength is to listen to my client's story. I do not change their story. I simply listen to their pain. Each session, I meet my clients where they are at in the moment as grief moves with the person unlike depression or anxiety.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Ideally, I like working with women between the ages of 30-70 who are ready to face their feelings head on. I enjoy working with clients that are open to sitting in the discomfort, realizing that is part of the healing. My clients often feel overwhelmed by the sadness and can often feel trapped within their own grief. I align myself with my clients in their healing, so they feel seen and heard.

I meet my client where they are in the moment. I do not rush ahead of my client. Grief healing is a slow process that deserves to be witnessed and seen.
