Mrs Meghan Hennessy

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Licensed therapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and healing one's relationship with food and body”

About Me

As a licensed therapist, I guide individuals seeking to heal their relationship with food and body. I specializing in helping you find confidence and peace with food. I offer a space where your experience with food and body is fully welcomed. This approach suits anyone feeling overwhelmed by food struggles or body image concerns. We aim to build a healthier, more intuitive connection with yourself.

Approach

Restoring trust around eating and embodiment often begins with small experiments—gentle curiosity, tracking what matters, and naming the patterns that keep you stuck. I offer telehealth sessions in a calm, focused setting that balances depth and practical pacing. We move between exploring relational history, noticing present-day thoughts and rituals, and trying manageable shifts between meetings so you can test new responses to urges, anxiety, or body distress. This way of working fits people navigating eating struggles, anxiety, or life transitions who want steady, thoughtful collaboration.
