Meet Megan

A Therapist Who Gets It

Megan Nisenson is a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with clarity, resilience, and connection. She is licensed in CT, NY, FL, VT and SC.

As a wife and mother of three, Megan brings both professional expertise and lived understanding to her work. She knows firsthand how complex and demanding family life, personal growth, and career transitions can be, and she meets her clients with warmth, empathy, and practical guidance.

Education & Background

Megan earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Fordham University and her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. She began her clinical career at a Connecticut Youth Services Bureau where she worked with youth and families, led school-based therapy groups, and supported mental health programs from elementary through high school.

Her experience expanded into clinical supervision and behavioral consultation for a state-funded agency providing in-home services to families in crisis and those with special needs. At Fairfield Counseling Services, a community-based mental health center offering accessible care, Megan deepened her expertise in family systems therapy while supporting clients from childhood through adulthood.

Since founding her private practice in 2014, Megan has offered highly personalized, evidence-based care for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Her approach is grounded in deep listening, collaboration, and the belief that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS), Level 3 trained (IFS Institute)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), basic certification training from the EMDRIA Institute
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Structural Family Therapy
• Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness and self-compassion-based interventions
• Shame-informed and trauma-responsive care

Megan is also a certified yoga instructor for children and teens, and integrates somatic and mind-body tools when beneficial.

Executive Coaching & Professional Development

Alongside her clinical work, Megan offers executive coaching for professionals across fields including technology, law, healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship. She draws on her clinical insight and systems perspective to help leaders and high achievers strengthen emotional intelligence, manage burnout and internal pressure, improve communication and leadership presence, navigate transitions and team dynamics, and align personal values with professional roles.

Her coaching is grounded in IFS-informed leadership work, certification in Hogan Assessments, and years of experience supporting high-functioning individuals under pressure. She helps clients achieve not just better performance, but deeper, more sustainable growth.
