“Megan is exactly who i need as my therapist. I feel like we went throught alot of the same things, and that makes our session so much better. We didn't have to force connection because she can relate to what i go through, and i love her perspective. She also taught me to be gentler with myself.”

Getting to know Megan Lawrence-Ferreira
Hi there, I'm Megan!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. I believe in a collaborative and strength-based approach to psychotherapy.
My approach
I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), humanistic principles, and strength-based techniques.
My focus
I typically work with adults. My focus areas of practice are Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Trauma, Life Transitions, parenting, and burnout.
My communication style
I aspire to develop and maintain a collaborative therapeutic relationship established through active listening, trust, and safety.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I believe in the practice of psychotherapy as a wonderful tool to help us all tap into our potential, resolve conflicts, and live meaningful lives.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is based on the individual. I will work collaboratively with you to develop therapeutic goals based on your current functioning, needs, wants, and desires.
My first session with you
During the first session, I hope we will be able to learn more about one another, ask questions, and begin conversations surrounding therapeutic goal development.
