Meghan Todd, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Meghan!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, as well as a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT). I focus on attachment-based work, and prioritize building a strong relationship with you in order to do deep work and create change.

My focus

I am passionate about working with parenting issues, be they your own struggles as a parent, or working through childhood trauma and reparenting yourself. I strive to help you build flexibility in your daily life and balance that with healthy boundary-setting, all to improve your relationships.

My approach

I utilize attachment theory to build and model a healthy relationship. I am equipped with many expressive arts and drama therapy interventions, and I use those alongside Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Client Centered practices, to name a few.

My communication style

I use a casual tone and environment for sessions and tend to think on my feet to address whatever is most relevant at the time of your session. I highly value collaboration and live by the belief that you are the expert on your own life, so I look to you for feedback on what is working and what is not helping you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I hold a BFA from NYU Tisch in theatre arts, but I wanted to find a career path where I could feel like I am making a difference. I have gone, and continue to go, on my own journey of healing and growth, and I was inspired to share the tools that have helped me with others.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to determine what you feel needs work or improvement, and we readjust your goals as time changes. I am very transparent with the treatment plan that I will formulate for you, and we will review it together to determine if there are things you want to work on that I missed.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect to begin the getting-to-know-you process. I want to hear all about you! It's the beginning of our journey, so we'll dive in with concerns and goals, and go from there.
