About Megan Newton
Parenting a child with special needs is a full-time job on top of every other job you have. And if you’re the kid, or the teen, or the adult on the autism spectrum, the world can feel like it was built for someone else.
Hi, I’m Megan Newton. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor at Ellie in Hales Corners, and I work with children ages 5 and up, teens, adults, and families. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and the parents raising them. I also work with anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and pregnancy and postpartum concerns.
My sessions are structured and clear, which a lot of my clients find relieving. We look at the connection between what you think, what you feel, and what you do, and then we practice changing the piece that’s within reach. My background in Applied Behavior Analysis means I’m comfortable with concrete plans and measurable steps.
I know that walking into a therapist’s office for the first time can feel like a lot. You don’t need to perform or explain yourself perfectly. Show up as you are and we’ll figure out the rest together.
CBT is my primary approach, and I blend in play therapy and art for younger clients, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and Trauma-Focused CBT when past experiences are part of the picture.
If your family could use someone who understands both the clinical side and the day-to-day reality, I’d be glad to help.
