Dr Meghan Hansen, PhD

Psychologist

Verified

“My ideal client is someone struggling with disordered eating or anxiety, who is ready to better understand themselves and create a healthier, more balanced relationship with food, their body, and their emotions. Whether they feel overwhelmed by worry, perfectionism, self-criticism, or the pressures of daily life, they are seeking compassionate, evidence-based support to foster lasting healing, resilience, and meaningful change.”

About Me

I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping adults navigate disordered eating, anxiety, and the challenges that often accompany them, including perfectionism, low self-esteem, and body image concerns. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is built on a strong, trusting relationship where clients feel safe, accepted, and empowered to be their authentic selves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, while recognizing that each person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. Together, we will work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms so you can build a healthier relationship with yourself, experience greater emotional well-being, and live a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Approach

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership built on trust, authenticity, and compassion. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for lasting change. I also recognize that healing involves more than symptom reduction—it includes cultivating self-compassion, strengthening resilience, and building a life that aligns with your values. Throughout the therapeutic process, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to explore challenges, celebrate growth, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change at your own pace.

Services

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect far more than a person's relationship with food—they can impact emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and overall quality of life. I specialize in treating individuals experiencing anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and disordered eating, as well as concerns related to body image, chronic dieting, and perfectionism. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, helping clients understand the underlying factors that contribute to their struggles while developing healthier coping strategies and rebuilding trust in themselves.
