Getting to know Megan Emery

I've been in private practice since 2012, providing individual therapy to adults of all ages. Above all else, I consider myself a trauma therapist, and I'm passionate about helping people make meaningful changes in their lives. My style is warm, empathetic, and casual but also challenging when necessary. The feedback I most often get from clients is ?You're different from other therapists,? meaning that I ask the hard questions and provide the tough love that gets people to make real changes in their lives, not just talk about wanting change. I roll up my sleeves and dig in, and I expect my clients to do the same. Because I consider therapy to be primarily about change, my goal for you is two-pronged. First, it's to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Second, I arm you with a variety of coping skills and strategies so you're equipped to handle life's inevitable ups and downs. In addition to being a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor, I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I'm also a Level II EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) trained therapist and a Level I sensorimotor therapist. EMDR and sensorimotor therapy are particularly helpful with clients who have experienced trauma. Since I tailor my interventions to each client's specific needs, I also use psychodynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness. I'm doing 100% of my sessions via teletherapy, using a HIPAA-compliant video platform called TheraNest, which is safe, secure, and easy to use. Prior to starting my therapy practice, I taught graduate-level courses at Pacifica Graduate Institute (2008?2020) and provided individual and group therapy at the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance (2006?2010). I also earned my bachelor's degree from California State University, Northridge.
