About Us

“Men should learn to live with the same seriousness with which children play.” – Nietzsche

Sometimes Life Just Happens… and That’s Okay!

At Busy Bee Therapy, we get it: life throws curveballs, and kids often catch them headfirst. Whether it’s an unexpected event or a big, overwhelming emotion, kids (and families!) need support to navigate through it. That’s where we come in!

Our mission is to provide kids and families with effective, evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help tackle challenges, big and small. While our specialty is trauma-focused care, we also offer treatment for mood disorders, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioral struggles.

We’re Not Just About the Kids!

We know that supporting parents means supporting kids. That’s why we also offer parenting support programs to give you the tools and strategies to feel confident at home. We use evidence-based curricula like:

• Circle of Security
• SafeCare
• DBT-Based Parenting Support

We’re all about a personalized approach – no “one-size-fits-all” solutions here! Every family is unique, and our interventions are tweaked to fit your specific needs. And don’t worry – if any individual parent support is needed, we’ll discuss it with you privately.

Although our primary focus is on children and adolescents, we also work with some adults. For adults who are survivors of trauma, we offer evidence-based interventions like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and build effective coping strategies. We also work with adults who are dealing with high-acuity symptoms such as suicidality and self-harm behaviors, utilizing interventions like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), depending on individual needs.

Hi, I’m Meghan Dahlin!

Curious about who’s behind Busy Bee Therapy? Let me introduce myself!

I’m a proud transplant to Boise, Idaho from Florida, where I ran my own private practice. Before that, I spent time in Colorado, working with children, families, and amazing colleagues in trauma-focused care.

Here’s the Scoop on My Background:

🌟 Education & Licenses:
I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and have licenses in Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Florida, and Michigan.

🌐 Community & Advocacy:
I’ve worked with amazing organizations like the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect. In Tampa, I served on the Early Childhood Council and advocated for bringing Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) training to Central Florida. Now, in Boise, I’m an active board member with the Idaho Association for Infant Mental Health.

📚 Trainings & Workshops:
I provide trainings and workshops for other clinicians on topics like trauma, ethics and boundaries, and working with patients struggling with suicide and self-harm behaviors. Supporting fellow mental health professionals is a big part of my mission!
