Psychotherapy is a profoundly personal and individualized process. It can foster a deeper understanding of self and others, promote healing and resilience, increase coping skills, change behaviors, instill hope, create meaning, and help individuals live their lives in more emotionally honest, authentic, and relationally connected ways. At the heart of the therapeutic process is a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client, and the best outcomes are achieved when there is a feeling of connection and understanding between the two. Continually attending to the fit between therapist and client is important in establishing a relationship that has the strength and ability to explore difficult experiences and the impact of those experiences on clients’ lives. Dr. Kapadia approaches the work with both curiosity and compassion, tailoring the treatment to the individual and using an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws from a variety of therapeutic orientations, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, and affect regulation models (cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies).

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, and the foundation of my work is grounded in talk therapy, CBT, and ACT. I offer holistic and complementary interventions that will support your overall well-being. Our work can be supported by incorporating somatic practices, when appropriate for you. Our relationship is central to this work and I hold a safe, non-judgmental, and present-moment space for you. I encourage you to let your guard down, and speak from your most authentic self, and I will do the same, so we can truly connect. My main areas of focus are in personal growth and optimal well-being, spirituality in terms of your search to answer those deeper, more meaningful questions in life, and helping you heal from relational wounds such as childhood neglect, psychological abuse, attachment wounds, and relationship conflict. I believe that anxiety, depression, self-criticism, stress, and some physical symptoms are the result of negative relationship experiences. The stories from our past can color our present moment in ways that no longer serve us. In our work together, I will support you as you learn to build trust in yourself, and in others. I know there is a brighter future for you, one that nourishes your soul and where peace comes naturally. I want to help you find it!

Although I am a licensed therapist with 30+ years mental health experience, my counseling practice is designed for people looking for a different approach, rather than traditional therapy. I offer life mentoring, which is a mix of counseling, coaching, psychotherapy, spirituality, and the expressive arts. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I help clients process their past, learn how to live more fully in the present, and carve a path toward a dynamic, enjoyable future. Life mentoring is a wisdom tradition that leads to life transformation. My practice is very casual and easy-going, nothing clinical. I teach the practices outlined in my book: “The Living Stress Free Bible: 20 Techniques to Make Your Life Less Stressful.” I send summaries of each session to each client, with my insights and suggested resources/homework. Schedule a session with me in our peaceful office space located in Rochester’s Upper East End, or on Zoom. I would love to help you on your personal journey toward happiness and inner peace. Pricing is based on duration of the session. Insurance is not accepted.

Life is a journey and you will be hard pressed to find a completely smooth path along the way. The hard truth is that life can be filled with difficulties. However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopt healthy coping mechanisms. I have a background in established therapeutic styles such as solution-focused, goal-oriented, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Such traditional approaches may work for some but sometimes dismisses the holistic needs of individuals. I am a strong believer in the power of connection, humor, and purpose. To meet the needs and busy schedules of people, I also offer an internet-based platform. Availability for individuals, groups, couples, and families. I respect all forms of therapy, but if you envision beyond counseling that follows the standard constraints then this is the right fit for you. Please visit the website EBCounseling.org

Hi, I’m Megan—Licensed Therapist (LCSW) Starting therapy in college can feel overwhelming—maybe you’re navigating new independence, academic pressure, identity questions, or a recent breakup. Or maybe you're simply looking for someone steady to talk to. Whatever brings you here, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and actually helpful—not stiff or one-sided. I work with students managing a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in trauma-informed care. I have a particular interest in working with students who are high-functioning on the outside but feeling overwhelmed or stuck internally—those who are used to keeping it together for everyone else but could use some space to focus on themselves. Whether you’re sorting through a situationship, burnout, or just trying to figure out who you are in this stage of life, I offer a nonjudgmental space to reflect, feel supported, and build lasting change. Humor and real talk welcome.
