Meghan Hanes is a trauma-informed therapist specializing in EMDR therapy, trauma recovery, and substance use concerns. She works with high-functioning adults who appear successful and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many of her clients are high-achieving professionals who struggle with chronic stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or coping strategies—such as alcohol—that once helped them manage pressure but are now creating concern. Meghan’s approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in nervous system awareness. She integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with evidence-based trauma and stress-recovery approaches to help clients understand how past experiences, chronic stress, and survival patterns shape present-day behaviors and emotional responses. Her work focuses on helping clients develop emotional awareness, regulate their nervous systems, and build healthier ways of coping that align with their values. She has a particular interest in supporting adults who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or other coping behaviors but may not identify with traditional stereotypes of addiction. Meghan creates a non-judgmental space where clients can explore these patterns with curiosity and clarity rather than shame. Meghan offers therapy for trauma, anxiety, burnout, and substance use concerns, with a focus on helping clients move from simply “holding it together” to feeling more connected, regulated, and present in their lives. She provides therapy for adults across Oregon via telehealth.
