Trauma Focused Therapists in Sugar Land, TX

I believe therapy is a space for you to be heard, because everyone is someone with a unique past and perspective. I am excited to work with you and learn your stories while we go through the healing journey together. I am equipped and passionate about helping you move through the darker parts of your life, past or present. All of us do our best in any circumstance yet sometimes the tools that helped us through the darker times are the same things holding us back now. You can overcome anything, and I would love to help re-equip you with the tools you need to move forward.

For 20 years, I have helped children and their families cope with bad things that sometimes happen in a child's life. This includes abuse, divorce, school issues, loss of a loved one, or low self-esteem. I understand the ripple effects that these can have on family members and how hard it is to watch your child struggle. I use a neuroscience-informed approach to create a safe environment for clients to release the emotional pain in a way that makes the most effective use of your time.

I am passionate about helping adolescents, adults, and couples learn to identify their strengths and to better understand themselves in order to reach their full potential and live their best lives. My approach is eclectic in that I implement a variety of therapeutic strategies to best fit each client on an individual level. I provide counseling services to a wide range of clients and families by guiding, empowering, assisting and supporting them through abusive and traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and women’s issues.

My mission is to provide hope to my clients by addressing recovery from a holistic stand point. Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential. I am dedicated to helping my clients resolve their issues in life to help them live to their full potential. I counsel clients to help them in understanding and overcoming personal, social, and behavioral problems. I work with adults, adolescents, and young children.

You can expect a warm and welcoming space to feel supported and work on feeling balanced and whole with me. I am here to help you feel less overwhelmed and depressed and start encouraging healing. Being a therapist is an honor for me and I truly enjoy guiding people towards positive change.

You're facing overwhelming challenges. You work hard to ensure everyone else is happy. You take care of everyone at your expense. You work relentlessly to keep up appearances. You’re always exhausted, often crying alone in the shower. You constantly walk on eggshells, tension is always building, you're constantly alert waiting for the next argument or incident. You're turning into the person you promised you would never become. You’re not yourself anymore. You are on the brink of failure, letting others down. Your mind will not turn off, you feel completely out of control. You're at your breaking point and change needs to happen.

“Does every family go through this?” “Why is this so hard?” “I need help!” Every family has a season of struggle. You are not alone.

Meagan’s focus is working with children from hard places; children who have experienced traumas, adopted children, foster children, and children from divorced families. These can include but are not limited to those who struggle with self-regulation, behavior responses, anxiety, and meltdowns.
