About Meghan Howie-Timmel
Meghan integrates a strengths-based, humanistic approach grounded in positive psychology, inviting clients to build on existing resources while exploring new ways of coping. She uses mindfulness practices and gentle healing movement to help people reconnect with their bodies and emotional experience, and she incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help re-pattern habits that no longer serve an individual’s goals.
As a certified Nia dance teacher, Meghan brings movement-informed options into therapeutic work when appropriate, viewing movement as a pathway to wellbeing. In sessions she and the client collaboratively explore emotions, access and investigate feelings, and cultivate self-nurturing practices. This process aims to help people who feel vulnerable discover greater meaning, purpose, and joy, and to support a more balanced everyday life.
Meghan’s practice emphasizes compassionate, practical strategies and respectful collaboration as people navigate change and seek renewed strength and clarity.
