About Me
Welcome to taking a significant step toward your personal growth. I am a somatic and holistic therapist who values you, the person. My goal is to provide you with a space to explore and grow.
Meet Megan Kopack
Hi, I’m Megan (she/her), a licensed counselor geographically based in northern Virginia and serving people throughout Virginia and Ohio.
I am passionate about helping others explore and heal their past in ways that allow them to find meaning and strength in a grounded present and a healthy future.
I am humbled and honored to be able to walk alongside others through their toughest journeys with unconditional support, compassion, and a touch of humor and joy.
My Background
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who recognizes all humans are unique and dynamic and I aim to tailor treatment specific to each client’s goals, needs, and wants. I work to create a caring, open, and judgment-free space for my clients to explore and define their whole selves by utilizing neuroscience-based approaches to address dysregulation within the nervous system, body, and mind that may be contributing to current challenges.
I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I hold dual licensure in Virginia as a Licensed Professional Counselor and in Ohio as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
Specialization
I specialize in the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder in adults aged 20+. My areas of expertise include complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), childhood and early developmental trauma, family-of-origin concerns, and chronic, persistent anxiety.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and participate in regular group and individual consultations to earn hours toward EMDR certification and continue refining my skills and practices. I have training and supervised experience in Polyvagal Theory and am certified in the delivery of the Safe and Sound Protocol and the application of Polyvagal Theory in therapeutic yoga. Additionally, I utilize creative somatic therapy techniques, Ego State Therapy (parts work), mindfulness, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy to create a holistic approach to healing psychologically, physically, and spiritually.
