I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a specialization in Somatic Psychology. I have worked in several community mental health settings throughout the Bay Area specializing in a variety of major psycho-social and mental health issues.
My approach is friendly, authentic, and open, as I am here to meet you in your experience, in whatever way that shows up. I consistently work within the lens of social justice, acknowledging the systems that continually oppress vulnerable communities and those that I work with.
When working with me you will notice that I focus on the whole person--your emotions, your mind and your body. When I work I may track and notice patterns of stress, anxiety, and tension. Through this tracking I can support you with exercises to guide your body into a more relaxed and resourced place. I may ask you to slow down in session in order to create more awareness of your experience and to notice with more clarity, what you are feeling. Noticing and being with our feelings and body sensations can help old patterns and traumas move through our systems and provide some relief. When working with the mind, thoughts and beliefs can be paralyzing and scary to name or speak about. We will work to discover the core of your belief systems and heal them at the root.
As we work together, my goal is to help you feel less alone, to feel heard and understood, and ultimately to be with you as you go through your journey of understanding yourself. Therapy and healing can be messy and scary, and I am here to meet you in all of those places on your journey to becoming a happier and healthier human being.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Meaghan McVeigh. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is one of the few therapists that I have had that genuinely listens to you. She understands your problems and concerns and does not belittle you. Great therapist!!!
