Hi, I’m Meredith, and I specialize in life transitions, particularly as they relate to anxiety and self-esteem. I provide Strengths-Based therapy for navigating the self-doubt that creeps in—and the anxiety that charges in—throwing you off course in times of crisis, times of change, relationships, work, school, creative endeavors, self-care, and other meaningful areas of life as you define them. Wherever you are on your journey, I will be there to help you steady the ship, adjust course toward your destination, and discover new possibilities along the way.

Colleen Perry, M.F.T., is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (MFC38937).Most people come to see a therapist because they are in emotional pain, physical pain, or both, as one often creates the other. I understand how vulnerable this can make you feel, so I am committed to giving my full attention and respect to the unique experience of each client. It is for this reason that I maintain a small “boutique” practice, where I listen to what you want for your life and together we create a course of treatment that meets your goals and needs.

The main reason why couples seek counseling is due to a communication breakdown that begins to dismantle an otherwise healthy relationship. Our primary need is to be understood, but if partners are using different modes of communication, there can be a disconnect. DT can provide the jump-start to help find the excitement and communication that couples experienced at the beginning of a relationship, and the common ground that can build a stronger place from which to build trust. In learning more about the roles we play, DT offers partners the opportunity to gain greater insight about themselves and about their problems in relationships.

And then you put your smile back on and turn back into the person they need you to be. One day, it all gets to be too much, and you don't know what to do. So you come see me.
