Megan Pena

Hi, I am Megan, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor located in San Antonio, Texas. I am licensed and practice in the state of Texas. I have worked previously with Veterans and first responders struggling with trauma and PTSD as well as addiction. I also have worked with the state of Texas and Family Protective services. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy and certified as a Therapeutic Horseback Riding Instructor. I am also a mother to a child diagnoses with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My counseling interest started very young. As a horse trainer and riding instructor I noticed that my students that were neurodivergent had a special connection with their equine partners. I began to do lessons with children and adults with Special needs and took more interest in this special connection. This lead me to focus more studies and research on the Autism Community. I focused on abnormal development and learning techniques to help those with unique learning styles.

My path is guided by the belief that all aspects of gene expression allow diversity and that diversity should be celebrated and respected. Honoring diversity allows us to expand our perception and sparks creativity in the individual. Each client I work with is valued for their differences and celebrated for their personal strengths.
