About
As a couples therapist, she helps partners reconnect with the felt experience of love, the emotional bond that drew them together. Her work is grounded in attachment theory, which views our closest relationships as vital to emotional safety. Megan's approach involves gently uncovering and healing the underlying hurts, resentments, and past traumas that may be driving reactive patterns or emotional distance. Through this process, couples learn to build new patterns of connection that foster trust. In individual work, Megan provides a nurturing and understanding space in which her connection with clients creates the safety for growth to occur. They will explore how the coping mechanisms of the past no longer serve them, and develop new strategies for navigating relationships and the world. Megan's practice draws from various therapeutic approaches, including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment theory, Transformational Couples Therapy, and somatic practices. Megan Kiernan is located on East Jefferson Street in Charlottesville, VA.
