A Quiet Knowing
COUNSELING
Telehealth Therapy Throughout Massachusetts
Welcome.
I’m glad you found your way here.
The fact that you are tells me you’re listening to the part of yourself that knows something isn’t quite right. Maybe you’re navigating a change in life, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or carrying the lasting impact of past experiences that continue to shape your present. Perhaps you’ve experienced a recent loss, are living with the effects of trauma, or you can’t put your finger on why you’re here - you just know you need support.
I provide telehealth therapy to adults throughout Massachusetts, offering a space to slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and reconnect with yourself with greater clarity and self-compassion.
Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and you’ve already taken an important step by beginning your search. I hope this website helps you get a sense of who I am and how I work. If what you read resonates with you, I’d love to connect.

Kindly,
Meg Chuhran, LICSW
How I Work
-
I believe you already have what you need inside you to navigate life—you may just need support hearing it. Therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself and access the quiet knowing that can become harder to hear amid the demands and challenges of life.
I believe our struggles make sense when we take the time to understand our experiences, relationships, and the ways we have learned to navigate the world. When we approach our experiences from a place of self-compassion instead of judgment, we create space for deeper understanding and meaningful, lasting change.
-
My style is an interplay between reflective listening, curiosity, and gentle challenge. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process where we work together to shape goals that feel meaningful and authentic to you. Sessions are warm, engaging, and responsive to your unique experiences and needs.
I find that people are often surprised by the amount of laughter that can happen in therapy. Healing can happen in those moments of laughter and relief, as well as in recognizing the growth that comes from doing this work. Of course, there are also moments of grief, uncertainty, or discomfort as we explore experiences and patterns that have shaped you. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be honest, explore openly, and begin to understand yourself in a new way.
-
For the past 15 years, I have supported people navigating trauma, crisis, and significant life changes through my work in victim advocacy, crisis intervention, and higher education. This work has shaped my belief that healing begins with understanding not only what has happened to us, but also the meaning we have made from those experiences. It has shaped the way I approach therapy—with curiosity, compassion, and the belief that our struggles make sense when we take the time to understand the experiences that have shaped us.
Individual Therapy
I provide individual telehealth therapy for adults (18+) throughout Massachusetts and am currently accepting new clients.
Many of the people I work with are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, or life changes, such as marriage, divorce, and new children. Whether you’re responding to something recent or carrying experiences that have been with you for years, therapy offers a place to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
Our work together is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. Depending on what is most helpful, our work together may be reflective and conversational, more structured and skills-based, or a combination of both. Early in our work together, we will develop an individualized treatment plan that guides our goals while allowing space for those goals to evolve over time.
I offer both short-term therapy for a specific concern and longer-term therapy for those seeking deeper exploration and lasting change.
I am currently a private-pay provider and do not accept insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a Superbill for possible reimbursement. Because plans vary, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network coverage.
Common areas of focus include: Trauma & Healing, Life Changes & Transitions, Grief & Grieving, Depression and Anxiety.
Areas of Focus
Trauma & Healing
Trauma can continue to affect us long after the experience itself has passed, shaping the way we move through the world. It can show up in how we feel in, and about, our bodies; it may appear in the moments that replay themselves or the ones our minds have tucked away; and it can emerge in our self-talk and beliefs about the world. One of the most painful ways trauma can impact us is by eroding our ability to trust ourselves and others. When harm is caused by another person, healing often begins by experiencing a relationship rooted in safety, respect, and trust.
Because trauma can disrupt our sense of safety, therapy cannot be rushed. Rather than moving too quickly toward the painful parts of your story, we will first take the time to create the foundation needed for healing to happen.
As we move through this process, healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means changing your relationship with what happened, so it no longer defines your life or how you move through the world.
In our work together, we may explore:
How your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and others.
The ways your mind & body have worked to protect you, even when those responses are no longer serving you.
How to rebuild trust in yourself, your instincts, and your relationships.
Ways to reduce the intensity and impact of trauma responses so they no longer keep you from living the life you want.
Life Changes
Whether big or small, chosen or unexpected, life is filled with change and the transitions that come along with them. It is often the transition - not the change itself - that feels most difficult, as we find ourselves no longer where we were, but not yet where we’re going. Some changes bring excitement and possibility, while others bring uncertainty, grief, or a sense of losing the familiar. Even when a change is something we wanted, it can still be difficult to adjust to the person we are becoming and the life we are moving toward.
When a change is something we did not choose, we may find ourselves grieving the future we once imagined. The plans we had made and pictures we carried in our minds can suddenly feel uncertain. Our photo albums, once filled with images of what we thought our lives would look like, can feel blank - and we’re left trying to understand what comes next.
Even changes we choose can bring their own sense of loss. We may celebrate welcoming a child while grieving a former version of ourselves. We may begin a new chapter while missing the people, places, or versions of us that came before. These parts of ourselves deserve recognition - not because we are meant to stay there, but because they helped shape who we are today.
Therapy is a place to listen more closely, and explore:
What parts of yourself are asking to be acknowledged?
What do you need in order to step into your next chapter?
How can you honor your past while recognizing your growth and resilience?
What support would help you navigate this transition with greater clarity and compassion?
A Quiet Place to Start
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burnout, or unsure if therapy is right for you, or simply aren’t sure what you would discuss, here are a few places we might start:
What would your life look like if your current struggles weren’t present?
Has anything like this shown up before — and how might your past still be influencing what you’re experiencing?
What strengths and resilience can we draw from, and where might we build further?
How might you begin to relate to yourself with more compassion, understanding, and patience?
What has been feeling hardest to carry alone?
If you’re interested in exploring these questions - or others - I invite you to schedule a consultation so we can get a sense of what it will be like to work together toward the life you seek.
Common Questions
-
The work we do in therapy is meaningful, and at times it can be difficult. There may be days filled with tears, grief, or uncertainty. But I also believe healing includes moments of laughter, relief, and celebrating the growth that often comes from doing this work.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. I will meet you where you are, help you slow down enough to hear your own wisdom, and offer the guidance, knowledge, and curiosity that likely led you to seek out a therapist in the first place. Together, we'll create a space where you can explore openly, challenge old patterns, and move toward the life you want to create.
-
The next step is a free 10–15 minute phone consultation. This gives us a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule your intake session and begin our work together.
-
At this time, I do not accept insurance. The fee is $175 per session.
I am currently in the process of becoming in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna.
If you have out-of-network benefits with any insurer, I am happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
-
Not at this time. However, I do offer a package rate. When you purchase four private-pay sessions, the cost is $150 per session instead of $175 per session.
-
I provide virtual therapy sessions for adults located throughout Massachusetts. Sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours' notice. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notice, will be charged the full session fee.
I understand that unexpected situations arise and that life doesn't always go as planned. At the same time, I hold this policy consistently to honor the time we have set aside for your care, as well as the commitment we make to the therapeutic process.
-
I work with adults and young adults navigating trauma, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and experiences that may leave them feeling disconnected from themselves or stuck in patterns they would like to understand.
-
Therapy sessions are between 45-55 minutes. During our initial intake session, we will spend additional time getting to know your history, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to work toward.
Let’s work together to quiet the noise and find the wisdom that’s already inside you.
