Meghan is so sweet and validating. She can pull the need or value you’re missing seemingly out of a hat! She has such a good sense of listening and responding and personally I feel so heard and seen by her. Very grateful to have found someone so lovely and strong and knowledgeable.

I believe in a person’s ability to develop and grow, become autonomous and authentic. I utilize different techniques and approaches to meet my clients’ need in order to help them find success in therapy. Specifically, I utilize a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Family Dynamics and Person Centered Therapy to create a treatment outline that will best fit my clients’ needs. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families on issues related to addiction, infidelity and trust, self esteem, depression, anxiety, life changes, divorce, identifying goals, grief and loss as well as caregiver stress and elder adult issues and transitions.
I graduated from Centenary University in Hackettstown, NJ with a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Counseling. I also received a Master’s of Science in Addictions Counseling from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. Through my internships and post graduate work I have been involved with traditional outpatient care as well as higher levels of care such as Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization.
My approach is warm and interactive, I believe in asking thoughtful questions that cause clients to think and look deeper. I also inquire about my clients’ beliefs and background to get a better picture of who they are and what shaped them. It also allows me to be sensitive and respectful of cultural needs and differences.
I respond to messages Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am-5pm. On the weekends I do not respond to messages or hold sessions. Sessions are booked with me once we have agreed to work together. I do not have an open schedule.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is very patient with me. Understands and remembers all my issues. I look forward to our meetings.
Meghan is so sweet and validating. She can pull the need or value you’re missing seemingly out of a hat! She has such a good sense of listening and responding and personally I feel so heard and seen by her. Very grateful to have found someone so lovely and strong and knowledgeable.
I have been working with Meghan a few weeks now and I always look forward to the next appointment. She listens very thoroughly and always knows exactly what to say to help me see things outside of my anxiety and outside of my overthinking. We do video calls and chats- she reads my journal entries and such . she always responds and pays attention. So glad to have matched with her!
Meghan is compassionate, empathetic, attentive and great with follow-up. I look forward to our meetings and gain enormous insight from our conversations
She is excellent and highly recommended.
Meghan is an exceptional therapist who always finds time for me. I especially appreciate how she remembers to circle back to subjects that need follow-up.
She’s excellent
Wonderful therapist!
I love Meghan. She provides such unbiased, eagle eyed, advice and help. She also checks in on me when I forget to schedule appointments and I’m grateful for that bc sometimes it’s anxiety induced. Meghan is also super professional and amicable and I got to say, my most favorite therapist to date.
Meghan is great. She is easy to talk to and gives things to explore or think about that I would never have thought of. So glad to have her.
It took awhile to find the right therapist for me, but meghan is the best and i am so glad i found her!
Meghan is incredibly intuitive, asks key questions that make me think and consider aspects of myself and my life in ways I hadn't thought about before. I can feel Meghan's genuine desire to help me and her knowledge on how to do so is clear by her input and suggestions.
Highly recommended
I have been seeing Meghan Quinlan-Ilich for a few months and I highly recommend her! She is a great listener and has made it easy to build a trusting relationship. She asks the right questions and is great at keeping the conversation going!
Meghan is so easy to talk to and is very wise and opens your eyes to a lot. Definitely recommend for anyone especially a woman in their 20s!
Meghan is great at listening and asking the tough questions you wouldn’t think to ask. She’s kind, considerate and helpful. I’d highly recommend her. I felt the first session was very direct and helpful.
Meghan is wonderful. She is very attentive and catches on quickly, - not only to the issues but also to the potential underlying causes. It's only been a few weeks but I'm impressed with her level of support, as well as her approach to listening and offering practical advice to take on life's challenges.
She’s great. After just a few conversations, I felt like she grasped the very core of much of what I was describing/expressing- her ability to accurately summarize and conceptualize it was very impressive. I felt truly “seen” and understood. I appreciate that she did not allow me to mentally box myself in and has offered me lots of very helpful insight. I would highly recommend her as a counselor.
