Hi there, I'm Marguerite! Hi, my name is Marguerite Ferrell, known also as Meg. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (137647). My goal in therapy is to offer you a safe, empathic, and compassionate environment, helping you address the concerns you are presently facing. Sometimes when we talk about trauma it floods our mind, body, and emotions. I will help to guide the conversations toward hope and healing, and together we will collaborate on the best solutions to help you overcome these negative thoughts, and return to your best and most complete, renewed, and authentic self. My approach My training in brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can assist you in disentangling unhealthy beliefs and distressing memories. I am trained in Gottman Couples, Prepare and Enrich, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and SFBT (Solution Focus Brief Therapy) for negative thoughts and quicker solutions. My focus When working with individuals, we can seek tools with CBT or SFT to move forward or work on past traumas with EMDR that influence present-day life. When working with couples, it's important to have clear goals and focus on facts, escaping from blaming one another. Gottman, Prepare and Enrich, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy help. My communication style Here is what one client says about our couple's work, “Meg is a caring, nurturing, and knowledgeable therapist who helped my husband and me navigate through some challenges in our marriage. She thoughtfully and intuitively approaches her practice with a balance of clinical knowledge and wisdom. We are so thankful for Meg and would highly recommend her!"
