Getting to know Meeka Ferretta
Hello, my name is Meeka Ferretta, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#148540) with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. My clinical approach includes building self-worth, exploring boundaries, identifying attachment styles, and creating healthy interpersonal relationships. My areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, divorce, co-parenting, depression, PTSD, incarceration, and other life transitions.
My approach
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and client-centered. My role is to support you in accessing your strengths, resilience, and resources. My theoretical approach is solution-focused therapy and family systems theory. I also include interventions from CBT, EFT, and other humanistic approaches.
My focus
I typically work with clients experiencing thoughts and emotions that cause distress, including but not limited to those who have experienced traumatic events and life transitions. I also work with clients looking to utilize their ADHD traits in healthy ways.
My communication style
The most important aspect of therapy is creating a connection with a therapist that is authentic, safe, and supportive. I have been described by co-workers and clients as intuitive and relatable. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and practice cultural humility.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became passionate about the benefits of therapy after my own experience working with a licensed therapist throughout different decades of my life. I am driven to do this work because I have witnessed the positive impact of taking a structured and supportive approach toward change.
My goals for you
I use a collaborative approach to setting goals to ensure that you get the most out of your sessions.
My first session with you
During the first session, we will lay the foundation of the therapeutic relationship and assess whether you would like to continue working with me.
