Getting to know Megan Hougardy

I graduated from Santa Clara University with a Master's in Counseling Psychology in 2016. I currently provide low-intensity and maintenance virtual psychotherapy services to individuals (no couples, child, or family therapy). I specialize in stress management, empowerment, and coping skills.

What should a new client know about working with you?

The client and I identify their treatment goals together. Therapeutic assignments are a valuable part of the treatment process and client commitment integral. I may use assessment tools to track progress over time. My hope is that clients have more insight, self-compassion, the skills to cope with life's challenges and feel empowered to take steps towards living a life of authenticity.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is collaborative and strength-based. I draw from many theoretical orientations, but I primarily utilize Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Art Therapy, Strengths-Based, Internal-Family Systems, Narrative Therapy and Somatic Therapy. I am adaptable!
