Megan Navratil

Mc Donald, Pennsylvania - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

"At any given moment you have the power to say: This is not how the story is going to end". My experience is in counseling individuals with depression and anxiety disorders while developing a positive, empathetic, non- judgmental and trusting therapeutic relationship. I have a background in working with youth and young adults with learning disabilities, ADHD, depression, and autism spectrum disorders. My theoretical approach is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a talking therapy. The therapy aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure in the present. The goal is to modify one's thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions, and to change one's usual pattern of behavior. I also do self esteem building, goal setting, learning positive self talk, solution focused therapy, problem solving, and building confidence and self worth. I also do executive coaching and career counseling which involves working with a client to reach a specific goal in their professional development. The specific areas of coaching may include career transition, interpersonal and professional communication, performance management, organizational effectiveness, managing career and personal changes, enhancing strategic thinking, and dealing effectively with conflict. I have experience in working with couples with relationship and marital difficulties. The focus of this therapy is building positive communication, identifying problem areas in the communication process, identifying emotional needs in a relationship, setting relationship goals, and learning to problem solve and compromise in order to reach resolutions in arguments. I have a Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh and 14 years in the field counseling individuals. I love what I do and I feel that therapy can be such a positive investment. I look forward to working with you!
