Megan Gendron, LMSW ​ - Provider at WholeHeart Psychotherapy

Meg is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) that offers in-person and virtual sessions to best meet the needs of each client. Originally from Michigan, she completed her Bachelor of Science at Grand Valley State University before moving to Atlanta in 2013, and earning her Master of Social Work from Kennesaw State University in 2020.

Before joining Wholeheart, Meg has experience working in higher levels of care, school-based counseling, and substance use/DUI treatment. Her specialties include depression, anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, body image and acceptance, life transitions, and personal development. She also enjoys helping clients to improve their interpersonal effectiveness and communication skills, so they can create the relationships they want, and improve their relationships that are in conflict. She enjoys working with older teens and adults, and provides individual, couples, and family therapy sessions. 

Meg utilizes a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic approach, and strives to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and cared for.  She likes to utilize an integrative approach, pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Attachment Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) to create a customized therapeutic experience.  Meg understands the strength and courage it takes to reach out in our times of need and feels honored to walk alongside clients in their healing journey, striving to create space for personal exploration and growth. 

In her free time, Meg enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, relaxing in local coffee shops, and traveling. She enjoys live music, hiking, and loves to spend time with her family. She is passionate about animal rescue and is an advocate for Lifeline Animal Project where she has fostered dogs, and most recently adopted her dog, Charlie.

Whole Heart Psychotherapy is an incredible practice of knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical clinicians. As a therapist myself, it is important to establish relationships with other groups for networking, consultation, and collaborative purposes. I truly appreciate that I can trust the clinicians of Whole Heart to provide effective treatment to clients that I refer to their services. I also am grateful for the professional consultation and collaboration that is provided when working with shared cases or when seeking feedback. Whole Heart and its staff are always on my list of providers for outside referrals.

As a therapist, I feel very fortunate to have WholeHeart Psychotherapy as a resource. I have never once hesitated to refer to the practice, and have heard nothing but positive feedback from those I have referred. I have personally participated in professional consultation and DBT groups at Wholeheart over the the years, and can't speak highly enough of the experience.
