Megan Armstrong
Registered Social Worker (RSW)
Registered since 2013
Megan Armstrong has been a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers since 2013. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work (2013) and a Master of Social Work (2018) from the University of Windsor.
She began in a social work role with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, then worked as a Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor in London from 2014 to 2017. Since 2018 she has been a Mental Health and Addictions Clinician in a community hospital, and she sees clients in private practice. Her focus is emotional regulation, trauma and PTSD, and interpersonal challenges.
Megan sees clients by secure video across Ontario, and in person for some clients. Email is the best way to reach her, and she replies within one business day.
Her approach
Megan works from an eclectic model, blending her training to meet each person’s needs. She pairs psychoeducation (“Why is this happening?”) with practical tools (“How can I do things differently?”). A lot of her work is about understanding your patterns, where they came from and the beliefs you have formed about yourself, others and the world. From that understanding, change becomes possible.
EMDR for trauma
Megan offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their hold. It is offered alongside her other approaches, depending on what fits you best.
