Anxiety therapy that works
Hi, I’m Meghan cromie lpc
She/her
Fear and anxiety can create so many limitations in our life, and can often prevent us from living as our true and authentic selves. For many years I dealt with debilitating social anxiety, phobias, and panic that prevented me from even speaking to most people or even wanting to leave the house. This left me feeling stuck, alone, and miserable. Even though it was hard, through my own journey I was able to face these fears, and learn to stop obsessing on trying to control everything. I was able to start living, and getting used to getting out of my comfort zone. Thank to that journey I was able to put myself out there to pursue my education, create my business, find an amazing partner and friends, and live life on my own terms. I am passionate about helping others overcome their fears as well. I know life can make it hard to take those initial steps, but I am here to meet you where you’re at, and start taking action towards your goals.

Outside of Therapy
I’m a Florida native, who grew up in Clearwater in a Trinidadian-American Household, as a second generation eldest daughter. I recently moved to South Florida. You can usually find me at the library checking out the latest books, checking out my favorite thrift stores, relaxing at the beach, and trying to get creative in the kitchen.
My Approach
I specialize in evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), & Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a specialized form therapy for OCD. My goal is to help you change behaviors to live your best life. If traditional talk therapy hasn't worked for you, an action based approach may help.
ERP
ERP or Exposure Response prevention is a specialized therapy style which helps with OCD, healthy anxiety, phobias and more. While difficult it helps you get your life back
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. The idea behind CBT is that by changing negative or unhelpful thoughts, we can alter our feelings and behaviors for the better.
