Megan Chilson, MS, LCMHC,
About Megan Chilson (She/Her)
Megan Chilson helps adults and older adults throughout Massachusetts build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change in their mental health and daily lives. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy and group therapy in a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore challenges, develop resilience, and work toward lasting wellness. Megan frequently works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, helping them navigate life’s difficulties with evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs.
Megan is particularly passionate about supporting people facing complex emotional and behavioral health concerns that can significantly impact quality of life. She works with clients managing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, and challenges related to alcohol and drug use. Her approach focuses on understanding the whole person rather than just symptoms, helping clients uncover underlying patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and make sustainable progress toward recovery and personal growth.
Her therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in practical skill development. Megan incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients gain greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. While these approaches form an important part of her work, she also supports clients with a variety of additional mental health concerns and life transitions, adapting treatment to meet each individual’s goals and circumstances.
Megan values creating a therapeutic space that is welcoming, respectful, and inclusive of diverse experiences and identities. She believes that healing is fostered through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. Whether a client is seeking support during a difficult period or working toward long-term emotional wellness, she strives to provide care that is both compassionate and clinically informed.
Outside of her clinical work, Megan enjoys spending time with animals, exploring creative arts, cooking, and being outdoors. She is deeply committed to lifelong learning and personal growth and values diversity across culture, ethnicity, neurology, sexuality, gender, religion, education, and life experience. These values inform her approach and help her connect with people from many different backgrounds.
Megan earned her degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston and brings a thoughtful, person-centered approach to therapy. Through LifeStance Health, she is dedicated to helping adults and seniors across Massachusetts improve their mental health, strengthen emotional well-being, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
