Megan Rene McBride

Intern

​

Megan is in the final year of her Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Stephens College and is excited to join Kindred Collective as an intern.

 

Megan chose to become a counselor because she loves to motivate others to grow and thrive. She believes that when individuals are fully supported, they are equipped to be empowered agents in their own lives and can best contribute to the health and well-being of others. Her work with Veteran and local communities inspired her interest in mental health and generational healing. 

 

Megan uses a holistic, eclectic approach to help children and families better understand themselves and expand their emotional toolkits. She brings a practical and accessible person-centered orientation to her practice and finds meaning in broader frameworks of existential and feminist theory. She provides individual therapy for children, teens, and young adults. Upon graduation, she plans to become a Registered Play Therapist.

 

Megan earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Missouri and found a home in Columbia. In her free time, Megan loves to spend as much time as possible outside and with family. Most weekends, you can find her stretching out with some yoga or practicing her handstands!

 

Megan is is under the ongoing supervision of Ashlyn Gautam, LPC-S, RPT, Missouri License #2019030961
