Teletherapy for Edmonds, WA

My name is Megan Dillon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a practicing clinical social worker for 15 years supporting clients in jails, courtrooms, hospitals, primary care clinics and emergency rooms. The breadth of my practice has shown me that people want to experience peace, feel self-worth, and have meaningful connections. These desires are not unique but are the bricks that pave the pathway to healing and connecting with our best selves. Navigating the healing journey to true self-discovery is unique to each person. Thus, there is no one size fits all method of counseling.

Couples or individuals struggling with conflict, stress, or overwhelming circumstances will find a safe place here to sort their thoughts and feelings about the issues while learning to repair and create deeper connections with loved ones. As a systems therapist, I understand the challenges of life transitions and help strengthen couple relationships and family cohesion and resilience through various life challenges. For clients struggling with past family of origin issues, we work to heal difficult memories. I help clients grow from brokenness, trauma, grief and loss to find healing, hope, peace and a new direction.

Are you in a relationship or going through a break up that is causing stress to your life?Do you want to know once and for all if this relationship is worth investing in? You might even feel on edge or irritable. It’s crazy how lonely you can feel in a relationship. You might find yourself lying awake at night and dwelling. Sometimes we can think to ourselves, how the heck did I get here! Are you ready to set personal goals around life and relationships? I get that life can get really exhausting and you want someone to finally get you. Learn about your why to start breaking cycles and creating thriving ones.

I am here to support and encourage you as you journey through your days, facing the joys and trials that come your way. This is sacred ground, and it is both an honor and a privilege to be allowed into the deep, private areas of your life.You will find that this is not something I take lightly but, rather, with humility and deep respect for your courage and willingness to be vulnerable. My desire is to sit with those who are hurting and to walk alongside those who are on a journey towards healing, wholeness, or personal growth.

After many years of ignoring my desire to be in the counseling field, I am humbled and excited to be in a profession where I can make contributions towards a client’s journey as they pursue healing, understanding, and self-discovery.  Life can certainly have many challenges and these circumstances may cause stress, anxiety, fear, pain, grief, discomfort, …etc.  Asking for help in these difficult times requires a lot of courage due to the risks of being vulnerable and I am honored to join you in your journey.

Welcome to Chrysalis Music Therapy, where the mission is to encourage and support those who are struggling with mental health challenges. I offer Telehealth sessions to my individual clients who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders or are experiencing challenging life circumstances.

No music experience is needed to engage in music therapy!

1 in 5 women will experience a clinical mood or anxiety disorder during and/or after pregnancy. Between 25-34% of women report their births as traumatic. Following the birth, some go on to develop Postpartum PTSD. The earlier there is support during this vulnerable and often overwhelming time, the adjustment to motherhood is less bumpy. I work with women (and their partners) to manage anxiety, depression, fear around motherhood and birth, postpartum PTSD and planning for postpartum support. I offer support during pregnancy and postpartum in a couple different ways. Traditional therapy, short-term home visits, or consulting.

A large part of why I have chosen to be a counselor is to simply help those in need. Many people come to therapy wanting relief from life’s challenges, answers to hard questions, or simply to be seen by and connected to another. My hope is that by choosing to engage in therapy, you will be able to experience all the goodness that comes from being respected, valued, and cared for in a truly meaningful way.

My professional experience, academic emphasis, and personal passion aims at helping clients experience their full potential. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I also work as a performance consultant for competitive athletes and coaches using mental skills training. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University and have fifteen years of clinical experience in private practice throughout western Washington.

Life's stressors can be overwhelming. Therapy shows us new ways of being and engaging through practicing adaptive skills and mindfulness. I help my clients uncover connections between past experiences that shape their current ways of coping. This leads to the ability to recognize inner strengths, identify and embrace discomfort, and cultivate self-compassion to find peace and true connection. With empathetic listening in a safe environment, I strive to be my client’s ally. I use cognitive and somatic modalities to connect mind and body and tailor my approach to your needs, even using humor when appropriate!
