About Megan Rafferty
Megan Rafferty is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico, bringing three decades of experience to her therapeutic work. She has been licensed as a clinical mental health counselor for the past 20 years and draws on a long career that includes roles as a counselor, trainer, mediator, and professor.
Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental, client-centered, and holistic approach that attends to mind, body, spirit, emotions, and behavior. She works collaboratively with clients to build emotional safety, identify strengths, and explore concerns with curiosity and compassion. Her goal is to help clients find balance, awareness, and meaning while addressing thoughts or feelings that may be limiting growth.
Megan has worked with adults, teens, children, families, parents, couples, and groups on a broad range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and family challenges, parenting, communication problems, coping with life changes, caregiving stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and career and life-purpose questions. She also has experience with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, hospice and end-of-life counseling, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship work, and post-traumatic stress.
Her clinical approach integrates several evidence-informed methods, such as attachment-based and client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential and mindfulness therapies, motivational interviewing, somatic and trauma-focused work, Internal Family Systems, and systemic therapy. This range of approaches allows her to tailor the work to each person's needs and goals.
Because Megan works part-time, she may not be able to accept clients who have had suicidal thoughts in recent months. If someone is currently feeling like they might harm themselves or others, they should call 911 or 988, or contact 1-800-273-8285 for immediate help. Megan maintains a supportive, curious stance toward clients and aims to assist people in becoming more of their authentic selves.
