Meghan grew up in Glens Falls, skiing on West Mountain. Her dad, John, a successful attorney who passed away last year, taught Meghan how to buckle her ski boots before teaching her how to tie her shoes. Today, Meghan still loves skiing, but now she doesn’t have to venture to the top of a mountain to find the sun - even in the depths of the darkest winters. She taps into a moment of brightness and wellbeing anytime with mindful breathing practices, positive affirmations, and yoga that fit easily into her daily routine.
Meghan began practicing with these (and other tools) when her mother Joan, who earned her master’s in social work at the age of 50, piqued her daughter’s interest in the field.
In 1997, Meghan graduated from the University of Virginia, then earned her master’s at the Columbia University School of Social Work in 1999. By 2005, she was teaching others how to address unhealthy habits, manage mental health conditions, work through trauma, improve their relationships, and more confidently handle life’s many transitions (including marriage, divorce, parenting, and career changes).
Each morning, Meghan Lemery Fritz, LCSW-R, wakes up before her husband and son, drinks her coffee, and takes a deep dive into the silence.
This meditative practice anchors her. It’s a simple tool that makes a world of difference – improving the day, right away.
