Hi, I am Megan Martineau, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working as a therapist since 2015. My approach with clients is to start where they are at and utilize clients own strengths to help them accomplish the goals they set for themselves.

I help adults who are struggling with issues of infertility, bereavement, grief and loss and life transitions. My clients are those who are yearning to be parents, have endured loss, sadness and anxiety while utilizing assisted reproductive technology in efforts to conceive and those facing multiple challenges on their path to parenthood. I also work with adults who have endured many different types of losses (death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, losses due to chronic illness...) and struggle to find ways to move forward. I work with young adults who are navigating issues of purpose and identity.

I am passionate about helping clients address the challenges they face with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and mindfulness practices. Anxiety, depression, past traumas, lack of community acceptance, and difficult environmental and situational factors may’ve brought you to a place of feeling unwell or stuck. Time-tested therapy techniques may be just what you need to address these difficulties and move forward. I have worked with a diverse assortment of clients who've faced a variety of concerns, including career difficulties, LGBT-related matters, abuse, grief, severe persistent mental illness, and relationship issues.

Are you feeling lost and alone in your struggles? There are times in life when we need guidance, education and support to navigate through difficult experiences. I recall the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child". I believe we need a village around us for a lifetime. Why go it alone when there are others to help? We are social beings after all. As a therapist, I use an eclectic approach pulling from various methods to best meet your individual needs. I also work closely with other practitioners as needed. My clients often find me to be relaxed, empathic and nurturing, often using humor as a healing element.

I utilize a holistic approach to address issues and bring about deep healing of the mind/body/spirit. We can work together to resolve your relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting problems, low self-esteem, spiritual issues, grief, or any other difficult life experience that you may be dealing with. I am here to provide you with a safe, empathetic space in which to share and discover the meaning in the suffering that you've been experiencing in order to be able to heal from it on a deep level and improve your life.

I believe nobody should grapple with crippling anxiety. Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling unwarranted fear, or losing sleep due to worry? There's hope. Anxiety affects millions, but we can navigate toward a brighter tomorrow. I offer personalized sessions for self-confidence, serenity, and joy. Let's embark on this journey together—because you deserve a life free from anxiety's constraints. My commitment to specializing in anxiety and its various forms stems from a recognition of the remarkable efficacy of modern therapeutic approaches.

I believe that all clients have the ability to change with guidance and unconditional empathic support. Therapy consists of a combination of methodologies including CBT, holistic, Trauma informed, solution focused, DBT and choice theory for background foundation. My intention is to provide a safe, confidential, supportive, comfortable environment for clients to explore areas of concern. I have been practicing the counseling profession since 1995 and thoroughly enjoy the work. I welcome new and return clients to come and experience my new location at the Coronado Plaza Building with views of the Hotel Del Coronado and the Ocean.

In my experience, our suffering stems from a lack of self-acceptance and self-compassion. I have also realized that it is not until we are willing to take that first step of looking at ourselves kindly and respectfully, that we begin to live life fully. If you are feeling stuck dealing with difficult situations or repeating unhealthy habits, I can help.
