Tufts Health/Cigna Therapists in New York

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina who helps people feeling burned out, anxious, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with balance and purpose. Many of my clients come to me after feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep going — even when they’re running on empty. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. My style is compassionate and collaborative — I meet you where you are and help you build practical tools for stress, boundaries, and self-care that actually fit your life. Before starting my private practice, I worked in behavioral health settings supporting individuals living with substance use, bipolar disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions. That experience taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that real change happens when therapy feels safe, personalized, and empowering. If you’re ready to move from burnout to balance, I’d love to help you take that next step.

I am Dr. Wendy Whinnery, currently living in Phoenix, Arizona, where I serve as the Program Chair for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at the University of Phoenix campus.

I’m also a Nationally Certified Counselor, a Board Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. Outside of my professional life, I’m married with two adult daughters, their wonderful spouses, and four amazing grandchildren who are the light of my life. Our home is joyfully shared with three spirited Shetland Sheepdogs—Jafar, Iago, and Princess Jazmine.
