About Megan

Bio

Megan Gewitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist specializing in helping individuals heal from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Her integrative approach combines evidence-based modalities with depth-oriented trauma healing to help clients find emotional stability, self-acceptance, and genuine connection.

Megan’s work blends Trauma-Focused Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE) principles, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. She also integrates EMDR and Brainspotting to support nervous system regulation and the resolution of traumatic memories.

With over a decade of experience in mental health, Megan completed the Linehan Institute’s Behavioral Tech Comprehensive Training for Independent Practitioners in DBT, one of the most rigorous programs in the field. She has also trained through the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research, expanding her ability to help clients access non-ordinary states of consciousness for deep emotional and somatic healing.

Her therapeutic style is warm, direct, and radically genuine, creating a safe and compassionate space for transformation. Megan believes that healing from trauma involves not just learning skills, but cultivating self-compassion, body awareness, and emotional integration- coming to understand, accept, and love all the different parts of ourselves.

Outside of her clinical work, Megan finds balance and joy through adventure travel, spending time in nature, and mindfulness practices such as Vipassana meditation and breathwork. She is passionate about movement and play, often found on a padel court or in a CrossFit class, and loves spending time with her French Bulldog, Anicca – whose name, meaning “impermanence” in Pali, serves as a daily reminder of the ever-changing nature of life and healing.

I am so grateful to have gone through the journey with Megan and to come out a free individual. I have the clarity to now heal the wounds that so heavily weighed me down. Not only do I notice an improvement, but I was able to reconnect important relationships and hear responses like ‘You are calmer’ & ‘You have matured’.
