Some of my specialty areas are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Self-esteem, OCD, Domestic Violence, and Child Emotional Neglect. Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-trust, shame, and guilt, which is why change does not occur? I provide psychoeducation to all clients to help them recognize why change is so difficult and understand how the mind works. An ideal client takes notes and follows through on exercises throughout the week. There are 160 hours in a week, and as a therapist, I only see you 1 hour a week, which means work outside of a therapy session is key to making positive changes in your life.

Picture this: it's 2 am, you planned to be asleep hours ago but the impending doom of tomorrow's tasks is triggering an existential crisis. You realize it's been 48 hours since you've thought about water and your screen time is sending you concerning notifications. You're not certain, but you may have forgotten to take your meds today. Not to mention, the unprocessed trauma from your childhood has somehow manifested into a form of heartburn that feels deadly. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome!

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

Sometimes therapists are called the "wounded healers" because from their own life experiences they have decided to help people. I am proud to be one of those therapists. I have had a wealth of life experiences and losses and can truly empathize with my clients. I have experience in many areas of Social Work; including housing homeless people, coordinating adoptions, and advocating for pre-adjudicated youth. As a Clinical Therapist, I have worked in Home Based Therapy, Community, Residential, and Addiction. I firmly believe that these varied populations and organizations have enriched my integrative approach to therapy.

Meghan E. Trevino, LCSW (she, her) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been practicing in Indiana for the past 6 years. Prior to that, I practiced in California working with victims of domestic violence, children and teens in need of intensive services, and hospital social work. I have also been a client. I know how scary it is to make that first call and find the right therapist. I have known I wanted to be a therapist since I was a teenager, as I grew up in a house with addiction and domestic violence. I believe that clients know best what they need, so my clients only work on what they want to work on.
