I am currently licensed in both Illinois and Iowa with 21 years of professional work experience, working with individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses. During my career I have worked with individuals with vastly different needs allowing me to feel comfortable assisting each with the particular goals they have for themselves. I have experience in assisting clients with a variety of issues or concerns including mood and personality disorders, stress, anxiety (including panic), and depression, coping with addictions including both substance use as well as intimacy/sexual related, & trauma and abuse. I have experience working with several additional areas of concern people may have. I am a licensed clinical counselor as well as certified in advanced addictions work and have experience in school counseling and working with school systems and clients (to better assist working with schools and needs students and parents may have as well as with IEP and 504s). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Meghan Corkill. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is extremely responsive any time of the day which is extremely helpful. Life doesn't happen all in one day so it's nice to talk any time I need.

Meghan is extremely attentive, responsive, respectful, and never judges- even when I slip up and make unquestionably poor choices. She talks things through with me in a relatable way without ever talking AT me or coming across as condescending.
There’s a genuine care/trust. Her ability to be open & honest is something I truly cherish.
She’s just… the best.
