Getting to know Megan Hougardy
Megan believes in fostering a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. A large part of healing is being witnessed by another being with compassion and being reminded of your strength. Her approach is encouraging, and she aims to create an atmosphere where humor, curiosity, and authenticity are welcome. Consider working together if you're open to exploring your thoughts, feelings, and sensations with curiosity and if you're looking for a therapist who can offer encouragement and a playful, yet professional, atmosphere.
Megan’s therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in mindfulness and cognitive therapy. She integrates various techniques to help you become more aware of your body’s signals and how to manage emotions effectively. She works with adults who are ready to explore themselves more deeply, whether navigating anxiety, stress, or personal growth.
Megan earned her Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University, which informs her compassionate and evidence-based practice.
Megan would love to connect with you and explore how therapy can support your personal growth and well-being. If you’re ready to start your journey toward healing, please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a safe space to help my clients recognize ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage and control emotional experiences create suffering. By recognizing and addressing these patterns, we all can start living vibrantly and in more alignment with our purpose. In therapy, we will aim to identify who and what matters most to you and then get curious about the patterns we see arising (both internal and external) that guide you toward or away from what you define as a meaningful life. This approach utilizes a neuroscience informed understanding of the mind, mindfulness practices, compassionate acceptance building and committed action to make the changes you want to see in your life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
