About Meghan
Meghan Pardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She invites people to start by naming what feels off in their lives and takes a steady, compassionate approach as they work toward feeling more balanced. Her focus includes common stressors like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles, and she also addresses money and financial issues as part of life stress.
Meghan uses practical talk and concrete steps rather than jargon. Sessions often center on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and trying new ways of communicating. She blends techniques to match what an individual needs right now.
Her work includes trauma-related concerns and recovery from painful experiences. Meghan draws from EMDR and mindfulness approaches to help people process distressing memories and notice how stress shows up in the body and mind. She also incorporates strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage difficult emotions and behavior.
People who come to her often want clearer relationships, steadier moods, or better daily routines around sleep, eating, and substance use. Meghan also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and identity concerns such as LGBT issues.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to help people set realistic goals, practice small changes between sessions, and track progress in ways that feel doable. To begin, she asks people to make the first contact and describe what they hope to change.
