Who We Are...

Megan and John have been friends and collaborators since 2001, and have used their own collaborative relationship to model how psychotherapy and psychopharmacology can and should work together.

 

They both emphasize a practical and respectful approach to patient care, and know from their combined 32 years of practice, and their past clinical collaborations, that communication, flexibility, practicality, openness and a sense of humor underlie almost all successful treatments.

 

The Meridian staff comes from a wide variety of training backgrounds, but all aim to work with you to build on your existing strengths while helping you develop new strategies and behaviors for overcoming adversity and living the most satisfying life possible.

Jason Singer  (M.A., A.M.F.T.)

Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist

312.898.2826 - [email protected]


A Masters graduate from Antioch University Los Angeles, Jason completed their Military PTSD Specialization and is uniquely qualified to work with the specific needs of our vets. He completed a year of Masters training at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center where he came face to face with many of the same issues experienced by vets, but caused by lifelong exposures to familial, societal and institutionalized homophobia. As a result, he is keenly aware of how trauma affects EVERYONE...even those who have lived a "normal" life.


"Utilizing Narrative and Gestalt interventions, we'll create an environment where, together, we can explore the story of your life and how it's been hijacked by past traumatic episodes, lowered self-esteem, family, societal constraints, and financial burdens. We'll locate exceptions to these stories - and begin to develop the skills necessary for you to react to overwhelming emotions in a more constructive way. And, eventually, to be unburdened by expectation, regret, anger, depression, and that which we sometimes cannot seem to overcome."
