Meigan Fernandez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
As a newly arrived St. Petersburg therapist, it’s likely you’ll find me out and about exploring all that this incredible city has to offer! I’m always looking for new plant nurseries to check out to add to my (already “too big” according to some people) collection, plants just make me feel so connected to nature and happy! The beaches, natural springs, nature preserves, and outdoor cafes are also favorites of mine, really any place I can soak up some sun.
A hobby of mine is making macrame items, whether it be a plant hanger or table runner, as I just love the feeling of making something with my own hands. Creativity has always given me a sense of relaxation and allows my mind to wander away from any stress or worries I might be feeling. Basically me in a nutshell… a nature-loving, macrame-making, plant-collecting, chocolate-eating, gym-going, female-empowering, a scary-movie-watching woman who finds some of her greatest joy in helping others find their genuine happiness and strength.
Amanda McGovern
Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern
Hello! I’m glad you’re here. I’m Amanda and I am a native of the St. Petersburg area who spent over a decade living in the Pacific Northwest before returning home to enjoy life in the sunshine state. I feel like I am in my natural element in the sun. On most days, you’ll find me outdoors exploring nature, swimming, gardening, or reading in the shade sipping an iced coffee. I enjoy learning the story behind things, discovering new foods and cocktails, and listening to live music.
I became a therapist because I want to deeply connect and support people through the ups and downs of life. Of course, I am no stranger to life’s curveballs and the experience of pain and loss. But, I have learned that it is possible to find joy alongside the pain. I am passionate about health and wellness and having fulfilling relationships, and I strive to live life to the fullest and empower others to do the same in the ways that are most authentic to them.
Tracy Sisk
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Hello, I am Tracy and am new in Florida from the Seattle area where I lived for nearly 35 years. I am a proud mom of two and grandma of four! On any given day you might find me walking or running, swimming in the pool, sinking my toes in the sand, or golfing. I love to photograph nature, write poetry, and dance the night away to local live music. I am already feeling at home in the area and look forward to establishing my practice in St. Pete!
I believe that life is an ongoing learning and growing journey with no particular place to “arrive.” Rather, making the journey the best it can be is brings us toward our goals. I continue to enjoy a path toward personal health and wellness, a profession I love, and healthy relationships. I am delighted to be helping others live into the life that they dream of!
Emy M. Tafelski
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Sex Therapist
Founder & CEO of ME-Therapy
Welcome! I’m Emy! I am a transplant from NJ who has never felt more at home than I do in St. Pete: The food, the people, the weather, it is all amazing. I love good food and have been thrilled to watch our city grow into a foodie destination over the last 18 years. I am also a live music lover and a cat lover (I have two: China Cat Sunflower and Cleopatra).
On occasion, you will find me curled up with a good sci-fi/fantasy novel and a cat in my lap. I am passionate about my own growth, healing, and journey with wholeness, authenticity, and acceptance and that is something that flows into all that I do. I became a therapist so that I could help others in their own journey with wholeness and increase acceptance, authenticity, and love in the world.
