Hi, everybody!
I decided to revamp my “About me” page because the last one sounded so formal. So here are some fun (and just ho-hum) facts about me:
Full name: Megan Rachel Bartlett
Degrees (a source of pride): B.A. in Psychology from Gettysburg College – 1999 and M.A. in Clinical-Counseling Psychology from La Salle University – 2010
First (and only) book: Getting Out of B.E.D.: Overcoming Binge-Eating Disorder One Day at a Time (published in 2008; 2nd edition published in 2011). Check out my “About the book” page to learn more.
Current daily pleasures: green tea with honey; 2 minutes of “centering prayer” each morning; and my five cats
Current work: Counselor at Arcadia University (mental health counseling for college students)
Spiritual pursuits: member of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Episcopal church; daughter of a Lutheran pastor; daily centering prayer; general conversations with God (many of them during my commute to/from work)
Hobbies: journaling; creative writing; writing letters/cards; blogging; reading (Anne Lamott; Ann Patchett); making and eating delicious food; exercising (hardly a hobby, but something I generally feel the urge to do 4-5 times a week); snuggling with my cats; painting with acryllics; counted cross-stitch; making mosaics; enjoying the company of my significant other

Hello Megan,
My colleague gave me a copy of your book. I am so very proud of you!!!!!!
You did it!!
I have left Philadelphia and opened my own practice on the waterfront in Plymouth, MA, Hope by the Sea. I have utilized your book often. You did a wonderful job. Your work inspires my clients, giving them greater insights,strength, and understanding.
Thank-you,
Pat Casinelli, LMHC
Hi, Pat!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my book and to write to me! Congrats on your own practice! I think of you often…you were such an important part of my recovery…there with me at the very beginning of my journey! Now, as a counselor myself, I often wonder what “seeds” I’m planting in my clients–seeds that I may never see grow to fruition. It’s humbling to walk with them on a portion of their journeys. Thank you for walking with me on part of mine!
Sincerely,
Megan
PS–I just realized I got your credentials wrong. I listed you as LCSW instead of LMHC. Sorry!
I just ran across your NEDAW post and I’m so glad I’ve found your blog. As someone living with an eating disorder, I can really identify with what you write about, although the specifics of the disorders are different. BED, anorexia, bulimia–it really doesn’t matter. Thanks for speaking on behalf of all of us.
Just saw YOUR blog, too. Love your post from 7/9/11 about the myth that the beauty industry and ads are the cause of disordered eating. Thanks for commenting!
I’ve been given the Very Inspirational Blogger Award, and I’m passing it on to you. Thank you
