Getting to know Megan Matthewson

Hi, I'm Megan Mathewson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Los Angeles. I believe people have an innate capacity to heal and make desired changes in their lives, but personal and relational growth can be difficult and doesn’t have to be done alone. I offer a safe and supportive space where we can work together to create what you want to see in your life. My approach is collaborative, authentic, and rooted in compassion. I use a blend of evidence-based methods, including CBT, DBT, and EMDR, to address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma. Mindfulness is woven throughout my work to help people develop increased self-awareness, endure and modulate unpleasant emotions, and foster nourishing relationships. With over 10 years of experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, parents, adults, and families facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, parenting, and relational challenges. I especially enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, adults, parents, and those who identify as LGBTQ+. I maintain a social justice lens and am passionate about decolonizing psychotherapy. My hope is that those I work with feel deeply seen, heard, and understood. I strive to create an environment where people feel compassionately held in their experiences while having a sensitive guide aligned with them in the deep work of healing and change. It takes courage and vulnerability to engage in therapy, and I hold what is shared with me in sacred regard. My own experience in therapy as a young adult inspired me to become a therapist and support others on their healing journeys.
