Megan Meredith
My name is Megan Meredith and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and have been practicing for 3 years. I provide therapy via a person-centered approach with tailored interventions to address emotional, behavioral, and relational issues.
The therapeutic relationship between the provider and client is one of the most critical factors in determining the client's progress.
My area of focus includes anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, and issues related to life transitions. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and aims to reduce problematic symptoms and improve clients' self-esteem, insight, and overall quality of life.
First session
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and discuss your expectations for therapy. We will also discuss your current challenges and what an ideal outcome may look like for you. This will allow me to understand your goals and how I can best support you in future sessions.
Strengths
The therapeutic relationship between the provider and client is one of the most critical factors in determining the client's progress. I prioritize building a genuine connection with my clients and creating an environment in which they feel comfortable sharing their unique stories. This initial foundation of trust and rapport enables me to effectively guide my clients toward meaningful growth and healing.
Ideal clients
I primarily work with clients who are struggling in their relationships, feeling burned out by work or life demands, or carrying the impact of childhood or more recent trauma. Many of the individuals I see feel stuck in cycles—whether that’s patterns in relationships, ongoing stress and exhaustion, or emotional responses that feel hard to control or understand. I support clients in making sense of these experiences, building insight into their patterns, and developing healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others. I work best with clients are ready for change, but benefit from guidance in slowing down, processing what they’ve been through, and approaching growth in a more intentional and compassionate way.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe in supporting my client's autonomy and ability to make their own decisions by using a person-centered approach. This allows my clients to lead the session in the direction that they feel is appropriate or comfortable for them. I utilize aspects from several other treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Attachment), however, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and always strive to work collaboratively with my client on tailoring therapy to their needs.
EMDR
I am currently a trainee in EMDR and am in the process of building my clinical experience with this modality through ongoing practice and supervision. My approach to EMDR is grounded in creating a strong therapeutic alliance and ensuring that clients feel safe, informed, and in control throughout the process. I place a heavy emphasis on preparation, including resourcing and stabilization, before moving into reprocessing. I view EMDR as one component of a holistic treatment approach and integrate it thoughtfully based on each client’s readiness, goals, and presenting concerns.
