Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized,
OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues,
adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including
working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis
intervention in a hospital setting.
Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to
address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal
is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and
implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful
changes on their terms.
I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both
Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an
eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each
individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work
through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational
Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
You have been feeling a lot of strong emotions lately, and fear, worry, and anxiety about your future overwhelm you most of the time. In the past, you've always been able to 'outrun' or 'escape' from it all - either by immersing yourself in hobbies - or sometimes escaping for hours or days at a time with video games and TV - but it just isn't working anymore. This time the feelings are too strong. And you're tired of running from how you feel anyway. You want to understand yourself and why you feel this way so you can start facing life with more confidence and stop the patterns of avoidance that have held you hostage long enough.
During our work together, we'll slow down, and we'll notice. We'll give your emotions the attention and respect that they - and YOU - deserve. We'll explore what you're going through with curiosity and compassion, uncovering the patterns that you've been stuck in and establishing new ways of relating to yourself, how you feel, and what you want.
I have a lot of hope for you and your future. Your life CAN get better. I encourage you to reach out to me when you're ready. I would be happy to schedule an initial consultation at no cost so we can talk about what you're going through and how I can help. Feel free to email me or visit my website today to get started. I look forward to meeting you!
