Megan McKernan | Clarity Wellness | Therapy practice founders have their own mental health journey

Megan E. McKernan, a clinical social worker who specializes in Anger Management, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder, in addition to other issues on the availability of creditable therapists and health insurance, talked about her own fears in her mental health journey to start her own practice and do business in clarity wellness. She has emphasized the kind of culture that she wanted to build versus the hussle culture of working within an agency and vividly recalls how intense deadlines and emergencies were. She believes apps and online sites like BetterHelp have recently become popular and provide access but have quality limitations. Lastly, she strongly feels that you must be an advocate of yourself and never give up on your mental health. A quote she closely resonates with says: "whether or not someone feels like themselves is the most important symptom in the mental health world".
