Welcome to Bright Beginnings with Meg Herr. 

 

As you navigate the path to seeking support, I commend you for taking the courageous first step towards healing and self-discovery. Here at Bright Beginnings, I understand the significance of this journey and I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professionalism. 

 

About Me

My name is Meg Herr, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health and education. My journey began in public education, where I served as a school social worker, developing a profound understanding of the challenges and triumphs within the educational system. This experience has furnished me with extensive knowledge of the special education system, Individualized Education Plans (IEP’s), and the management of Section 504 plans. 

 

Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s complexities. I am deeply committed to helping clients of all ages, from children as young as 3 to adults, and I pride myself on creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. 

 

My Approach

In my practice, I employ a variety of research-based interventions tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. My therapeutic modalities include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Habit Reversal Training, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy. My aim is to empower clients, helping them to uncover their strengths, develop new skills, and achieve a greater sense of self-worth and independence. 

 

Areas of Focus

I specialize in a broad spectrum of mental health issues, including Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Self-esteem/Self-worth, Parenting challenges, Conduct and Behavior management, School anxiety/School refusal, Women’s Issues, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Skills, Bereavement, Divorce, Adoption, Life transitions, School Motivation, and Executive Functioning Skills. I am also passionate about Educational Advocacy, assisting families in navigating the educational system to support their children’s unique needs.

Whether you are an adult facing personal challenges, a parent seeking support for your child, or someone navigating the complexities of the educational system, I am here to offer guidance, support, and the tools you need to thrive.
