Meghan Sutton
Hi! My name is Meghan. I am so glad you're here. I know how difficult it can be to make that first step towards healing, and I am honored you’ve considered me to be a part of your journey. So, a little bit about me to get us started. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida and Georgia, and am currently serving clients in Florida. I have been practicing in this field for over 10 years. I empower adults who may be struggling with PTSD, trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and more, to examine those unhelpful thoughts and feelings that may be keeping them “stuck,” and help them to develop a new life-changing patterns.

First session
In our first session together, we'll spend the necessary time it takes to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable. We will dive into the specific challenges you're facing and what you would like to work on in therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows my clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and more. I am also very persistent and committed to finding what works and to adjust what isn't! I understand therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach, and you can rest assured that therapy with me is a dynamic experience.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I utilize attachment theory as a basis for a lot of my work with clients. A lot of times we experience an attachment injury to our key figures as a child and that can impact our view of ourselves and can create challenges in relationships. Attachment-based treatment involves us sometimes taking a look at those past injuries and work towards bringing healing to those parts of ourselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I bring CBT into my work with clients who may experience difficulties with getting "stuck" in their thoughts. CBT looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which can be a helpful guide to impact change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I enjoy bringing mindfulness-based therapy into my treatment with clients. It can be helpful to learn mindfulness strategies as these can assist in regulating the nervous system and calming the fight, flight, freeze response.
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR and utilize this treatment method to treat issues including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and more. Sometimes when we experience a traumatic event, it can get "Stuck" in our brains in the flight or fight response. EMDR helps our brain resume its healing through utilizing BLS (Bilateral stimulation), which helps desensitize us to the harmful memories, unhelpful thoughts, and uncomfortable body sensations.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am trained in DBT and enjoy utilizing the key components of it with my clients. I find that everyone can benefit from learning the skills of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
