Megan Leinbach,

Hello, I am Megan Leinbach (she/her), a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) offering counseling to people age 13 and older in Pennsylvania.

My Specialties

I counsel teens, young adults, and adults in PA, and enjoy working with women, providing a compassionate space to explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, caregiver stress, life transitions, family estrangement/cut-off, and the unique stressors experienced by mothers and caregivers.   I also offer specialized support in grief counseling, particularly for those coping with the loss of a child or sibling. Please ask our scheduling team to tell you about my full list of specialties if you are not seeing what you need support in.

No matter what brings you to my page today, my goal is to walk alongside you, helping you feel seen and understood, and to equip you with tools to move forward with greater clarity and strength.

Techniques In Therapy

My approach to therapy is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and principles from positive psychology, to help clients build resilience, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My Education and Background

I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from Millersville University and continued professional training through doctoral coursework, with a focused concentration on parent bereavement, child loss, and family systems. This deep and ongoing commitment to learning supports my work with individuals navigating some of life’s most difficult experiences.

About Me

Outside of my work as a therapist, I have a deep love for growing things and caring for animals, whether it’s tending to plants in the garden or looking after the creatures that share my life. I find this nurturing work outside the office reminds me every day of how growth, patience, and care show up in all of our lives.

I fill multiple roles that are among my greatest honors: mother, grandmother, and my youngest son’s biggest sports fan. Being part of my family’s daily life brings me immense joy and perspective, continually enriching my understanding of the many transitions and identities we hold as adults. I cherish time spent with family and friends, and I also enjoy the serenity of quiet moments, especially reading, which helps me stay grounded and present.

These experiences, both personal and professional, shape not only who I am but also how I show up with clients: curious, compassionate, and mindful of the whole human experience.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in therapy.
