It’s time to embrace freedom and actually enjoy your life.
Meet Megan Stanley, LCSW, skilled anxiety therapist in California, specializing in OCD.
You feel trapped in uncertainty and never ending “what ifs”. It’s exhausting. The fear and anxiety seem to follow you no matter which escape route you take. Sometimes there’s relief, but the intrusive thoughts always chase you down again.
What if you could live a life that didn’t constantly feel like it needed an escape route?
Hi! I’m Megan.
Switching gears into different phases of life is stressful. Couple that with self doubt, sprinkle in some intrusive thoughts, and voila! A big pile of hot mess.
I work best with people who are truly ready to dig in and challenge themselves to try something different: those who recognize that the sense of control they’re striving for keeps eluding them and are ready to take a chance on a new way of operating in the world.
As we walk on this journey together, I will give you tools to make a change.
You’ve tried talk therapy, and while it was nice to vent and process, it wasn’t quite enough. We won’t stop at just talking. As a behavior therapist specializing in anxiety and OCD, I’ll empower you with tools, tailored to your specific needs. The good news is, you’re not stuck with the default mode (you know, the one that currently feels like crap). Together we will find the trouble spots, disrupt the default mode, and make the change to live a life you love.
Knowing one size does not fit all, I pull from my professional training with high school students and adults at different stages of life and from my personal experiences to put together therapy that best meets your starting point. I take the book learning of various behavior therapies like CBT, ERP, DBT, IPT, and ACT and make them approachable and applicable to your specific needs.
Instead of a cookie cutter therapy session, I provide customized, empowering, and compassionate support. I meet you where you’re at on your journey and walk with you until you feel ready to walk on your own again.
