Therapists in White Plains, NY
In life, it can feel like your brain is covered with a fog. No matter what you do, you just can’t seem to clear up that fog. Depression can keep you fogged down, anxiety can make you feel like you don’t have an escape, and solving life’s problems can be a challenge. A counselor based in White Plains can be able to help.
The origin of the name White Plains is speculative. Some people say it’s due to the white mist that covered the area. Whatever the reason may be, a counselor can help you clear the white mist in your own mind. You need to speak to them first though.

Hello! My name is Megan Bartz and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 3 years of experience working with individuals in outpatient and inpatient settings who are struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. I am passionate about treating individuals holistically and believe that the counseling relationship is one of the main vehicles for change as it provides a safe place for individuals to process and progress. I am person-centered and believe in not only being genuine with everyone I work with, but also treating you with unconditional positive regard. Ultimately, one of my main goals in treatment is to help individuals discover what gives them hope as I believe that hope is imperative in order for change to occur. I also draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in order to help individuals discover how their thinking is affecting their emotions and their behaviors and then how to learn to think differently so that they may find a different outcome. Ultimately, I believe you are the expert on yourself and that it can also be helpful at times to have a fresh perspective to walk alongside you as you journey to a place of greater self-awareness. My main priority is listening to what your needs are and helping you find a way to make those a reality. I would love the opportunity to work with you, thank you!

If you would like to learn to do more than cope with the issues you are dealing with, and move into actually eradicating them, I can help. All that is necessary is an open mind. If you are at the point where you want to learn the nature of your suffering and begin the work (it’s all mental), of changing whatever beliefs need to be released, let’s get started. This work will allow you to see for yourself your true nature and realize that without the thought and/or belief being held, all is well. Spirituality therapy means we work with all of you, mind, body and soul. What no longer serves your growth is released. You are then free. Our work together will be spent understanding the cause of suffering and who we are without the conditioning and beliefs that, uninvestigated, cause us pain. Reality is simple when we don’t argue with it. Let’s inquire and see what’s true and what’s just a thought. You didn’t cause it but you can let it go and be free. You’re here because you're ready. Having struggled for many years with my own conditioning, unquestioned thoughts and beliefs I am well aware of the pain they cause so I learned how to release what no longer serves or feels good. I am happy to help you over whatever you are dealing with and show you ways to help yourself. We have all we need within us, peace of mind is our birthright.

I have obtained not only a theoretical base to go along with my practical knowledge of human behavior, but also, I have developed the skills necessary to help others to empower themselves. My approach to therapy is motivational interviewing along with cognitive behavioral therapy, most importantly I use a client-centered approach to meet the client where they are. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou
