Megan Segel, LMHCA

My name is Megan. Originally from Minnesota, I’ve called Washington State my home for eleven years now. I started my educational journey at Arizona College of Allied Health and completed a dual major in Occupational Science for Medical Assisting and Health Information Technology for Coding and Billing. Later on, I pursued a bachelor’s degree in health science with an emphasis on Advanced Patient Care and Personal Development at Grand Canyon University. Following that, I earned a master’s degree in social work at Capella University.

During my master’s program, I had the privilege of interning with the Department of Social and Health Services with Tribal Affairs for the long-term aging and support department, and I also completed advanced internship hours through the Volunteers of America’s 988 Crisis Lifeline. Throughout my educational journey, I’ve had the honor of graduating Summa Cum Laude, making the Dean’s list, and becoming a member of various honor societies such as The National Society of Collegiate Scholars, The National Society of Leadership and Success, Delta Alpha Phi Honor Society, and Phi Alpha Honor Society.

My experiences have allowed me to work closely with the Tribes in Washington State in the Department of Social and Health Services in the Long-term Aging and Support Division. I’ve been involved in projects aimed at setting up Adult Day Centers for aging and disabled individuals. Additionally, I’ve worked as a chat and text counselor for the Volunteers of America 988 Crisis Lifeline and as a counselor for the follow-up program with the same organization. I am deeply passionate about working with individuals in crisis and those who have experienced trauma. I am educated in trauma-informed practice and I’m committed to providing trauma-informed care and support for those in need.
