Megan Gauthier, RSW

Hey, I'm Meg (she/they)! Owner and Clinical Director at Everworth

I'm a big sister, partner, rock climber, hockey player, dog mom, and crafter. I'm queer and embrace individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, ethnic backgrounds, and racial identities.

I've also been where you are. Prior to my own therapy, I was anxious all the time, in and out of unhealthy relationships, constantly blaming myself, and convinced no one could ever love me. Heavy, right? Flash forward and I now live a life enjoying a full spectrum of emotion, including joy. I take pride in who I am, I enjoy a beautiful partnership, and while it's not always perfect, I'm able to take care of myself and rely on my support network when hard times do arise. I'm here to help you do the same.

My Approach

I believe we're all doing the best we can with what we know in the moment. When we face trauma or hardship, the brain does a brilliant job of adapting to keep us safe, and it adopts whatever beliefs and behaviours are necessary to get us through. If you're reading this, it's likely that you've noticed some of your own beliefs and behaviours holding you back from the life you really want to live. You are far from alone in this. Often, the beliefs and behaviours that keep us safe and functioning at one point in our lives stop being helpful, and may even start wreaking havoc on our ability to be the person we really want to be.

I’m passionate about walking alongside you in your search for meaning and change. I look forward to hearing your story, and compassionately supporting you to understand the patterns that have you feeling stuck. Together, we can uncover how your experiences have shaped how you show up in the world today, process the things that have happened to you, explore your current emotions and relationships, and navigate towards a life that feels fulfilling.

More About Me

Outside of the therapy room, I spend a lot of time with my puppy, Levi, an adorable (and energetic) retriever mix. My favourite ways of taking care of myself are to spend some quiet time reading a fiction novel, or moving my body on a hike or in a yoga class. I also enjoy practicing creativity by knitting, crocheting, and sewing.
