Meghan Grill, MSEd Pre-Doctoral Extern Meghan specializes in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relational and interpersonal concerns, academic stress, identity development, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves and their relationships, strengthen communication and connection, and navigate change with greater confidence and self-awareness. Meghan’s therapeutic approach is integrative, grounded primarily in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy. Her work is informed by attachment theory and family systems, emphasizing how past experiences and relationships shape current emotions, behaviors, and interpersonal patterns. When appropriate, she incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, stress, and other present concerns. Meghan strives to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel safe exploring difficult experiences, developing healthier relationship patterns, and building greater self-awareness and resilience. Meghan has clinical experience working with adolescents and adults in university counseling and residential treatment settings. At Fordham University Counseling and Psychological Services, she has provided psychodynamic individual therapy to a diverse student population. Previously, she worked with adolescents in residential treatment, supporting emotional regulation, trauma recovery, behavioral stabilization, and family engagement. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care while considering the relational and systemic factors that influence each client’s experience. Meghan’s clinical work is complemented by research focused on family relationships, trauma, and emerging adulthood. Her doctoral research examines the lived experiences of emerging adults who grew up with and became estranged from a parent, with particular attention to family dynamics, identity development, substance abuse, relational rupture, and emotional well-being. Meghan holds a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in Connecticut. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology at Fordham University. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Honors Psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Outside of her clinical work, Meghan enjoys sports, cooking, and spending time with her dog, Buster.
