Megan Geneux, M.S., LMHC

Megan brings more than a decade of experience working alongside children, adolescents, and families facing OCD, anxiety disorders, phobias, behavioral concerns, emotional dysregulation, and other challenges that can make everyday family life feel overwhelming.

One of Megan’s greatest strengths is helping families make sense of what is happening underneath a child’s behavior. Rather than focusing only on stopping a behavior or reducing distress in the moment, she helps families understand what may be driving it, what keeps the pattern going, and what both the child and the adults around them can begin doing differently.

Megan understands how exhausting it can feel when families find themselves repeatedly navigating avoidance, meltdowns, reassurance seeking, escalating emotions, power struggles, or anxiety that seems to dictate the household. Megan helps parents step out of the cycle of constantly putting out fires and develop clearer, more consistent ways of responding that support their child’s long-term growth.

Her clinical approach draws from evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). For young people struggling with OCD, anxiety, or phobias, Megan uses ERP to help them practice approaching fears and uncertainty while changing the behaviors that keep anxiety in charge. She enjoys finding creative, developmentally appropriate ways to practice these skills so that treatment feels relevant to each individual child or teen.

Megan’s style is warm, practical, and down-to-earth. She recognizes that families rarely need another person simply telling them what they should be doing. They need someone who can understand the complexity of what is happening, help identify where change is possible, and break that change into realistic steps.

Megan’s background includes a particular understanding of the intersection between mental health and school functioning. She has supported students whose OCD, anxiety, avoidance, emotional dysregulation, or behavioral concerns interfere with attendance, classroom participation, academic engagement, or their ability to successfully navigate the school day. Her experience collaborating with families and schools allows her to consider treatment not just in terms of what happens during a therapy session, but how a child is functioning across their entire day.

Ultimately, Megan wants both young people and their parents to leave treatment feeling more capable. Her goal is to help families understand one another better, respond to difficult moments more effectively, and build patterns that continue serving them long after therapy ends.
