Founders of Expansive Therapy
Nick Fager & Megan Murphy
Dual Licensed Mental Health & Processional Clinical Counselors
We started the practice with the hope of creating affirming space for marginalized people experiencing distress. All of our therapists are committed to the ongoing work of unearthing and challenging our own biases. Every session gives us the opportunity to validate our client’s lived experience, and provide the space for healing and expansion.
Expansive Therapy teamed up with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, from 2021 to 2022. Dr. van der Kolk directly supervised our therapists in order to better address the effects of trauma on our clients.
