About

In an era where mental health challenges continue to rise, people are increasingly looking for innovative approaches to healing and growth. Megan Collins, MA, LMFT, ATR-P, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Art Therapist-Provisional (ATR-P), is leading the charge in integrating neuroscience with the power of creative arts to foster emotional, mental, and psychological well-being. As the founder of NeuroArts Therapy & Consulting, Megan offers a transformative approach to therapy that blends brain science with creative expression, offering clients a pathway to healing that is both profound and empowering.

With over 14 years of experience in various clinical settings, including community mental health centers, hospitals, and schools across Los Angeles, Megan has developed an integrative therapy model that combines traditional psychotherapy with creative arts modalities. At NeuroArts Therapy & Consulting, clients do more than talk about their struggles—they engage deeply with their emotions and memories through artistic expression, under the expert guidance of Megan. This integrative approach helps people process and heal in ways that traditional therapy alone often cannot achieve.
"I believe mental health care should be personalized. Every individual, family, and group has unique needs," says Megan. "By combining neuroscience with creative arts, we can access parts of the brain that are not always reached through conventional talk therapy. This combination unlocks a deep, healing process that words alone cannot always express."

What sets Megan apart from other therapists is her deep understanding of neuroscience and its application in the therapeutic process. Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to change and rewire itself—is central to Megan’s approach. Through creative arts, clients activate different neural pathways, improving emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and recovery from trauma. The fusion of neuroscience and creativity is more than a therapeutic tool; it's a transformative process that empowers clients to break through psychological barriers and experience profound healing.

“Creative arts therapy works with the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself,” Megan explains. “When clients engage in creative expression, they activate various parts of the brain, which helps them process emotions, regulate thoughts, and overcome trauma. The healing potential of creative expression is boundless, and it can be life-changing.”
