Clinical Therapist

Meagan Gerchen, MSW, LCSW

I’m glad you have reached out for support. If you are looking for a compassionate, empathic, and direct therapist then you have come to the right place. I’m a therapist who is able to treat clients in the states of Missouri and Illinois. I am invested in meeting clients where they are and helping them learn how to regulate and function in their everyday life. I work with individuals as young as age 5 and throughout their lifespan helping those to understand and express how they feel, cope through their emotions, advocate for themselves, and learn how to communicate more effectively with others.

I have a decade of experience working in all levels of mental health care settings. I specialize in therapy with children and adolescents with symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, inattention and hyperactivity, and with behavioral concerns. If clients are under the age of eighteen, I provide and require parent coordination sessions that are sessions where I speak with parents and guardians directly about their child’s therapy engagement, therapeutic goals, progress in treatment, and much more.

I also provide individual and couples therapy to adults who are dealing with relationship/interpersonal difficulties and/or transitions in their lives. In addition to my clinical practice, I author articles about relevant mental health topics and am able to provide clinical supervision to those who are seeking licensure to become licensed clinical social workers.

I appreciate therapy as it allows me to create lasting relationships and help clients make impactful changes in their lives. Join me in the therapy process if you would like to discover more about yourself or your child! I look forward to hearing from you!
