Executive Coaching
Lead with Clarity
Executive coaching for professionals who
want to perform with purpose and
grow from the inside out.
Megan Nisenson is an executive coach with a Master of Science in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting from New York University. She works with high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders across industries including technology, healthcare, finance, law, education, and the creative sector, in-person in Westport, CT and NYC and virtually nationwide.
Megan brings a distinctive depth to her coaching practice: she is also a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience and advanced training in systems theory. That foundation lets her clients move beyond surface-level strategies to the internal patterns, mindsets, and stressors that shape clarity, decision-making, and sustainable growth.
Whether you are a CEO navigating organizational change, a founder scaling a business, or a professional in a life transition, her approach blends psychological insight with actionable leadership tools.
Coaching is not therapy, but it is transformational. Whether you want to grow in your current role, lead more effectively, or navigate a life transition with more self-awareness, Megan will help you gain clarity, remove internal barriers, and move forward with purpose.

Frequently Asked
Life coaching is an unregulated field with no required training or credentials. Executive coaching, as Megan practices it, is different: she holds a Master of Science in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting from NYU, certification in Hogan Assessments, and a clinical license as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Many people searching for a life coach are looking for exactly this kind of support, structured and confidential work on goals, mindset, and growth, with the depth of credentialed training behind it.
Coaching is forward-focused work on goals, leadership, and performance. Therapy treats clinical concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. The two can look similar from the outside, and many high-functioning people genuinely sit between them. As one of the few practitioners formally trained in both, Megan can help you determine the right fit during a free consultation.
Yes. Coaching engagements are private, and Megan is bound by the ICF Code of Ethics as well as the confidentiality standards of her clinical license. For executives and founders, that means a rare space to think out loud about high-stakes decisions, team dynamics, and personal patterns without organizational politics in the room.
