About Megan
Megan Benda is a psychiatric provider who sees teens 14 and older (13 on request) and adults at the Melbourne office. She started her career in neurology, where curiosity about how the brain shapes emotion led her toward psychiatry, and then spent four years in an emergency room handling mental health crises before moving to outpatient care.
Benda treats anxiety, depression, mood disorders, sleep disorders, trauma-related conditions, and women's health concerns. Her neurology background gives her a strong grasp of the biology behind symptoms, and her emergency years taught her to recognize when a situation is urgent and when it can be managed with time and careful follow-up.
She is known for careful listening. Patients often say she asks questions no one else has asked, and that she takes the answers seriously. Space Coast teens and adults looking for a provider who combines a scientific understanding of the brain with real attentiveness will find that here. She is accepting new patients at the Suntree office on Wickham Road, and telehealth is available for follow-up visits.
