Meagan Leary, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Meagan! Welcome to therapy! As a certified EMDR therapist, I am committed to treating trauma, anxiety disorders, and attachment wounds with a client-centered and trauma-informed approach. In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and experiences without judgment. I'm eager to accompany you on your healing journey. Let us embark on this journey together, as we uncover the strengths inherent within you while addressing the wounds that may hinder your growth! My approach In my therapeutic practice, I primarily utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a foundational modality for addressing complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and other related issues. EMDR is effective for processing trauma and adverse memories, as well as alleviating symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and other diagnoses. However, I recognize that each individual presents unique challenges; thus, I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and ego state interventions, or parts work. This multi-faceted approach allows me to address not only the trauma itself but also the underlying attachment wounding and low self-esteem that often accompany such experiences. Tailoring treatment to meet the specific needs and goals of each client is paramount in my practice. Through individualized care, we will process traumas, address negative core beliefs, and help to create new neuropathways in the brain to live a healthier and more stable life. My focus Trauma, adverse life experiences, and anxiety often leave individuals feeling disconnected from themselves and others, fostering guilt and unhappiness. As a therapist, I primarily work with adults with a history of trauma, attachment wounding from childhood, and anxiety-based disorders who frequently grapple with these emotions and issues.
