Hello! My name is Meghan Tafel, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Michigan. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Michigan in 2000. Since then, I have worked in various capacities throughout my career, including therapist, educator, school counselor and victim advocate in the court system, and mother. Each of these opportunities have provided me with a broad spectrum of experience working with various clients. I have extensive experience working with clients effected by physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, and those that have been victims of other violent crimes.
I have experience with concerns relating to anxiety, ADHD, behavioral concerns, depression, family conflict, grief and loss, obsessions and compulsions, peer relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. In my work with clients, I utilize an eclectic style of practice, which means, I will work to find the strategies that work best for you. Most of the time, I tend to incorporate psychodynamic, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused therapy strategies in my work with clients.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I am passionate about helping people. I love seeing how people can grow from challenging experiences, and, I absolutely love being a part of that process. I would be honored to help you become a healthier and happier person!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s very kind
Meghan is kind, respectful and willing to take that extra step to lend a helping hand.
Meghan is great! She is very helpful and patience! Never rushes you into what you're not ready for!
Truly amazing to work with. Helps understand what you’re trying to get out of her services.
Meghan is the one of the most compassionate humans I have ever come across. This is the first time that I have felt personal growth and progress in a therapeutic setting. Meghan listens to me in detail, is patient, and works with me to make sure I can continue to grow! I have never felt so comfortable, respected, and as a priority as I do now. Meghan has worked with me to develop the tools I need to overcome daily struggles with anxiety and depression. She has shown me how to work on my confidence and to set boundaries when needed. I could not be more grateful.
Meghan is amazing! I don’t know how I’d get through this crazy life without her!
Meghan has been fantastic. Not only is she kind and respectful, she’s very good at her job. I was nervous about starting up therapy again and Meghan put my mind at ease. I’m so happy we got matched up.
I love Meghan! She allows me to decompress but never loses sight of the goals we established! She’s supportive and considerate and she is always thoughtful in her messages and communication. I don’t know how I ever made it through life’s chaos without her!
Meghan is a wonderful counselor and has helped me in many ways. She makes me feel comfortable like I can tell her anything without her judging me or making me feel uncomfortable. She has given me tools and helped me work through emotions and try to pin point where everything stems from. Very good person overall. Grateful I got to have her has a counselor.
Meghan is a wonderful therapist. She is very responsive and supportive. I really appreciate her help during this time in my life.
Meghan is patient and understanding, I feel like I can open up to her about things I generally don’t want to share with others.
