Megan Lawrence-Ferreira, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Megan!

I believe in a collaborative and strength-based approach to psychotherapy.

My focus

I typically work with adults. My focus areas of practice are Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Trauma, Life Transitions, parenting, and burnout.

My approach

I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), humanistic principles, and strength-based techniques.

My communication style

I aspire to develop and maintain a collaborative therapeutic relationship established through active listening, trust, and safety.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe in the practice of psychotherapy as a wonderful tool to help us all tap into our potential, resolve conflicts, and live meaningful lives.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is based on the individual. I will work collaboratively with you to develop therapeutic goals based on your current functioning, needs, wants, and desires.

Our first session

During the first session, I hope we will be able to learn more about one another, ask questions, and begin conversations surrounding therapeutic goal development.
