Meagan Morales, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Meagan!

I am a client-centered clinician with the primary goal of creating a safe space for my clients by being warm and empathetic in my approach.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. I also support clients navigating family stressors, work stressors, and social and intimate relationship challenges. I have experience with diverse ethnic, gender, sexual, and cultural backgrounds.

My approach

I incorporate CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to provide a holistic approach tailored to your needs. I help you recognize cognitive distortions and reframe thoughts, leading to improved emotional responses. We explore relationships that impact your mental health and focus on your goals and strengths.

My communication style

I am very flexible and like to meet you where you are. I practice transparency and spend time getting to know your interests and social supports, as they are important in building rapport and identifying positive coping skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and develop effective strategies for personal growth and empowerment.

My goals for you

I like to collaboratively arrive at treatment goals. I meet you where you are in terms of readiness for change and work with you to make realistic goals to meet in therapy.

Our first session

You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. I will ask about your background, current challenges, and specific goals. This session focuses on getting to know you, understanding your needs, and developing a plan for future sessions.
