Megan Harden, LCSW

Hello! I specialize in the treatment of OCD, phobias, anxiety disorders, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. OCD does not always look like handwashing and concerns about germs - sometimes it's intrusive thoughts with the desire for reassurance. OCD frequently fixates on what’s important in a person’s life and common sub-types include worries about health issues, sexuality, fear of pedophilia, harming self/others, contamination, concerns about religion/ morality, or obsessions about relationships. If this sounds like you it is important to know that therapy can help you get your life back!

​

I utilize Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) as treatment approaches for OCD. I have training in ERP from the IOCDF. I've completed a certification for BFRB treatment through the TLC Foundation for BFRBs. Additionally I have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Prolonged Exposure for Trauma (PE). 

​

In addition to owning TCR and maintaining a full caseload I also teach a class at Western Kentucky University and have 2 little girls. I am a supervisor for therapists working towards full licensure.  

 

I offer afternoon and evening appointments in person or on telehealth. I am licensed in KY and NY.

Testimonials: 

​

Megan changed my life. She helped me understand not only how to deal with my day to day anxieties but also how to recognize them. Facing them head on has allowed me to name them & then let them go. I learned that what I thought were small things were actually causing a lot of unnecessary interference. I’m in the most sound state of mind of my life because of her. Yet, there is more growth to be had, as there always will be!

I highly recommend the Cognitive Refinery. Megan has been one of the most professional and effective therapists I have seen. It is evident that she puts long hours, and lots of effort into helping people through their struggles. You won't find a better therapist in the area.

Megan is amazing! Not afraid to call bullshit, and has the right mixture of holding one accountable, but empowering me the patient at the same time. Well worth the copays!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Megan has been absolutely incredible. I was a little hesitant to go to therapy and was so concerned about finding someone qualified and someone I was able to feel comfortable with. Megan has been just that and so much more. My experience here has truly been life changing. I tell everyone how great Megan is!

My experiences at TCR have been uniformly positive. My therapist is a treasure and I genuinely feel privileged to be working with her. Something that stood out to me from the beginning was her conviction that I will complete treatment-- that therapy isn't a forever thing. This made me feel real hope-- it also gave me confidence in my therapist and in the process.

Megan, obviously, is the best part of TCR. Her guidance, unwavering support, and ability to meet me where I was while also pushing me to get me where I am has been a literal life-changer. I wouldn’t be who I am now if it wasn’t for her.
