Meghan Dees, LMSW, believes that in order to truly help clients to make a positive change in their lives, there needs to be a strong foundation of trust. This is important in order to help clients to give themselves permission to be vulnerable and to allow themselves to be seen. Once this occurs, we can work together to experience a greater sense of peace and acceptance within our lives and ourselves. Meghan earned a Bachelor's in Social Work at Saginaw Valley State University and a Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University.

I work with clients aged 12 and older with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. I love to help affirm people's true identities within the LGBTQ+ space. I also work with divorce, anxiety, depression, parenting, and a variety of women's issues. Our work together will be a team effort and a collaboration. You know more about yourself than anyone else ever will, and this great strength will be tapped into every day to help you rediscover your power. My clients recognize that staying the same is far more harmful to their health than changing.
