Meagan Corrado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides clinical therapy to inner city youth in the Philadelphia and Camden, NJ areas. She is a doctoral candidate in the DSW program at the University of Pennsylvania. She earned her Masters of Social Services from Bryn Mawr College in 2009, and her Bachelor's of Social Work from Cairn University in 2008. She specializes in work with children and adolescents who have experienced complex trauma. She completed trainings in Childhood Sexual Abuse Treatment, Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Narrative Exposure Therapy. Her experience includes clinical work in a variety of settings including community mental health agencies, residential treatment facilities, schools, and homes. She takes a creative approach to her interventions with children, adolescents, and families, incorporating elements of art, music, poetry, and play therapy in her clinical practice. The author's interest in helping others process difficult life experiences began at a very early age when she helped family members and friends process feelings about significant life issues. Storiez stems from the author's own personal experiences with trauma, as well as her clinical work with children, adolescents, and families. During her free time, the author enjoys making artwork including mosaics, collage, and alcohol ink illustrations. She also enjoys traveling.
