Megan Wurtz, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Megan!

I believe that we are all our guides in our healing journey. I am here to provide support as you discover a deeper sense of self. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, the comprehensive resource model, and parts work.

My focus

I work with clients of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and races. I am well-trained in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma (PTSD), peer relationships, codependency, family conflict, and life transitions.

My approach

I utilize a variety of theoretical approaches in my work, including integrative therapy, a humanistic approach, and client-centered therapy with a relational approach.

My communication style

I strive to create an environment that feels welcoming, non-judgmental, and safe. During our work, all parts of you are welcome to come forward. When working with me, clients have said they have felt heard, safe, open to sharing emotions, and empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to help others. After working with children and families in my internship, I knew I wanted to work with people and that I would be able to provide a safe place to find the strength to do hard things. I am driven to do this work knowing that we all need someone to truly hear us and help support us in healing and learning.

My goals for you

Goal setting is important to know where you would like our work together to focus. I always discuss goals during our first session to ensure that we are on the same page with goals for therapy. I also review goals periodically to determine if we are on track.

Our first session

During the first session, we will spend time building relationships. We will also discuss what you would like from therapy and the tools I have to support you on that journey.
