It's been a while since we have done this... Meet our March student spotlight: Meghan (featuring her lovely pup North)!
I left a job in marketing to pursue a lifelong career in counseling - it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After interviewing several counseling professionals and comparing CACREP accredited programs, my heart became set on Monmouth University. What drew me to the program was the diverse curriculum, along with the encouragement and support for field placement opportunities. For the past year I’ve had the honor of serving on the executive board of our department’s honors society, Chi Sigma Iota. Being able to work beside Dr. Megan Delaney and my peers has been a highlight of my educational journey. I am especially passionate about trauma-informed approaches to psychotherapy, particularly with children and adolescents, along with being a fierce advocate for the LGBT+ community. I will be graduating from this program in May 2022. My dream is to have my own private practice one day, where I can utilize creative outlets such as woodworking and music to address underlying mental health needs. I also hope to teach at a University - leading a life where I can be a support for my clients and professional counselors.
