Megan Watts Broadhead, MS, MDIV, LPC
founder, director, and psychotherapist
Hi. I'm Megan.
I created Engage Premarital Counseling in 2013. Shortly after starting in private practice, I realized a passion for relationships and for supporting couples' growth. The period of time when a couple is considering marriage or are engaged to be married is such a transformative time, and I wanted to offer space for couples to safely explore themselves, their relationship, and their future together....
....so along came Engage!
Above all, I pride myself in building genuine, personal connections with couples that foster growth AND further understanding. I find great joy in joining my clients on their journey with compassion, curiosity, and love.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (License #LPC008487) in the state of Georgia and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also the founder and director of The Wonderhaven, a holistically focused therapy wellness center.

On a personal note...
My husband, Jono (pronounced like "Bono" but with a "J") and I celebrated 13 years of marriage this past June! Together we enjoy traveling, reveling in the outdoors, learning new favorite things about our city, exploring our spirituality, and spending lots of time with our kiddos, Micah & Ruthie. These two truly are lights in our lives...and I also can't believe I'm a person who uses the term "kiddos" now. :)
Jono & I feel very proud of the way in which we've grown up togther and have worked through many obstacles and growing pains together. I can't think of a person I admire more than I do him!
I love getting to help couples feel closer to their partner, recognize strengths and growth areas, and reconnect with the reasons they love and admire each other.
I feel honored to be doing this work and look forward to exploring the ways in which we might connect.
