Meghan Hayhoe, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Meghan!

I provide individual therapy to adults, focusing primarily on EMDR and trauma (big and small).

My focus

I work with adults looking to learn more about their own internal systems so they can strengthen the tools they already have in order to overcome the ups and downs of life. Anxiety, trauma, intrusive thoughts, self-esteem, substance use, codependency, and anger are some of the primary conditions I work with.

My approach

I provide talk therapy as well as EMDR. In therapy, my primary goal is to make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and in control. I work with an existential approach, meaning I support you in your path to rebuild a sense of control in your life.

My communication style

I provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic setting, and building rapport and trust with my clients is imperative to me. In therapy, I'm not just a body nodding along with you - I work in collaboration with you, I provide you feedback, and I work with you as a team to get you closer to your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I wanted to be a therapist in high school. I felt honored when people confided in me, and being supportive gave me purpose. So I had a clear path in undergrad and graduate school, taking classes, internships, and volunteer work to gain experience in this field.

My goals for you

Whether you know your goals straight away or you're still trying to figure them out, I'll work in collaboration with you to figure them out and identify how to work toward them.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you, and for you to feel me out as well, to see whether I'm the right fit for you. I'll explore what brought you to therapy and what you'd like to get out of therapy, and I'll be a supportive listener as I learn about you and provide a safe space for you.
